Arsenal: Complete player rankings for the 2018/19 season

14. Petr Cech

Obviously Petr Cech didn’t have a lot to do this season in the Premier League, but in the Europa League, it was a different story. When Bernd Leno came into the side during the summer transfer window, a lot of people wanted him to get the No. 1 from the off, but Cech was given first dibs, and he didn’t do awful with it.

At least, not compared to last year, where he was riddled with mistakes and had all kinds of issues looking like the professional we knew him to be.

After getting hurt at Watford and Leno took the starting job from him, Cech became the mid-week keeper, and he did a solid job with it, as we are now on the brink of the Europa League final – a competition that was solely Cech’s.

As this is Cech’s last year as a player, he may have been able to dig deep for some added motivation, but at the end of the day, he’s as professional as they come, and it’s been a wonderful presence to have during heavily-rotated matches.
