Arsenal vs Liverpool: Player Ratings & Gyokeres Analysis

Myles Lewis-Skelly (4/10):

Replaces the injured Hincapie, but spends a lot of time on the pitch just chasing shadows. Seems very behind the rhythm of the game.

Gabriel Martinelli (6/10):

Enters to replace Trossard. Immediately asked for a penalty when pushed by Frimpong but his claim was flatly rejected. Threatening with his pace but his passing is disappointing. Turned into an antagonist in injury time when he tried to push the injured Bradley off the field.

Gabriel Jesus (6/10):

Entered to replace Gyokeres and was greeted by loud applause from the home audience. Much livelier than the Swede, but his standards were indeed low that night.

The Maduye (6/10) calls:

Enters to replace Saka. Like Jesus, immediately livens up the game but without any real, measurable impact.

Mercy of the King (5/10):

Replaced captain Odegaard, making his first league appearance since 13 December after dropping down the pecking order. Didn’t get into the game at all.

Mikel Arteta (5/10):

It was a disappointing night for Arsenal, who were flat in possession and helped by the opposition not playing with a pure striker.
