Arsenal Player Ratings v Southampton: Dismal Defensive Errors Show Wenger Needs To Buy In January

CB: Per Mertesacker – 5

Hardly a nightmare game for Mertesacker but was tested by Mane and could have tried to cover the goal mouth for Southampton’s first when Szczesny left his line.

CB: Laurent Koscielny – 6

Definitely the most secure of Arsenal’s defenders today but had some difficulties dealing with both Pelle and Mane.

Though, fans will surely be delighted he managed to make it through two games relatively unscathed after so long out.
