Midfielders

Jorginho (CM) – 4/10 – No glaring mistakes, but a mediocre performance. Looked jittery with the ball and frail defensively, especially whenever he was made to sprint. Can’t help but wonder why Thomas Partey didn’t play.

Declan Rice (CM) – 8/10 – Fantastic. He was one of the few probing players in the first half and did brilliantly to get Arsenal back in the game. Mr. Consistent and I shudder to think what would have happened without him.

Martin Odegaard (CM) – 2/10 This was a seriously bad performance from the captain. For large portions, he was invisible. His teammates couldn’t find him, and when they did, Odegaard was wasteful. He should have been subbed sooner.
