Arsenal vs Newcastle player ratings: Last summer’s dream

Did his part. It’s one of those matches where I don’t have a lot to say about him because he was never in a position that required a lot of analysis. He played good defense. He had good positioning. He passed the ball well. The less you hear of a defender, the better he did, right? A clean sheet is a clean sheet!. CB. Arsenal. DAVID LUIZ. 7.6

7.5. Had a few questionable distribution issues and some defensive positioning problems. But when he did make a mistake, he was quick to sweep up the mess and get the ball out of danger when possible. It wasn’t his best match, but the fact that that <em>didn’t</em> translate to goals surrendered make me think the rebirth is still well under way.. CB. Arsenal. SHKODRAN MUSTAFI
