Arsenal 3-0 Bodo/Glimt – player ratings

First half goals from Eddie Nketiah and Rob Holding, and a late strike from Fabio Vieira gave Arsenal a 3-0 win over Bodo/Glimt at the Emirates this evening.

Mikel Arteta rotated heavily, making 8 changes from the side that beat Sp*rs, and while it wasn’t always plain sailing and the visitors had a good spell in the second half, the Gunners were more than worthy of the win.

Here’s how the players rated this evening.

A few of the new boys have huge potential, but not quite there defensively.

Funsho Patrick

Don’t know what you mean mate but the opposition was no walk over…I noticed a drop in intensity after the second goal and it feels like worst pressing performance of the season in that short spell… Nelson looked sharper than I remember in years,tomiyasu is wonderful wherever he’s played and sambi is really improving.. especially in his ability to resist pressing….a great performance without hitting higher gears… prepare for a tough match away…

HILARY

Sambi Improving..?
You must be watching a different Match.

Martin R

What game were you watching? He was excellent tonight.

mjc1892

Sambi is solid going forward and in possession but really quite bad out of it. Absolutely never anywhere near the opposition counter attacks, certainly not in any position to intercept or tackle.
Hopefully it can be taught- at least to some degree. If he could just do the basics defensively he’d be a hell of a player.

Teryima Adi

He needs to let go the fear factor and just be himself – he’s so scared of putting a foot wrong and this inhibits his game. There is a good player in there if he would just play without the hand brakes.

Teryima Adi

No, he was not.

Kostas

Sambi is improving and has huge potential. It is just the hardest position in football.

I think he needs a loan to gather some game time. In the meantime maybe another young DM can come like the Brazilian …Danilo(?)

GoonerJust

Hilary, you must be watching a different match.

Thiyo

Hilary, this is one Hilaryous comment.

Dlo

Agree but especially on Tomiyasu. Thought he was superb tonight

turcofeo

I thought Tierney was so secure defensively today, never gave an inch on that left side.

Zinky is an amazing addition to our attack, but KT has to be given a chance, specially in the more high risk games. I think he could’ve been very useful against Manure, for example.

Goonshow

Sambi will improve with every first team game he plays. Has a good eye for a pass but can still be positionally naive and a little ineffective in the tackle.
Which is fine – he’s a young prospect who’s in the team to grow, and his curve is upward. However, the reality is that there is still a big gap between him and Thomas and that’s a concern, should Thomas get injured (again!).

Goonshow

Why we did snatch Renato Sanches for no money, even just as mid-field engine/enforcer back-up, I do not know!

Rodrigo Caio Novaes

Good game, but should be a opportunity to rotate more players…

shame how Nelson isn’t living to his potential, had way more direct chances than Marquinhos and screwed them al

Nedim

Little too harsh on Turner tbh

Arsepedant

Agreed, I thought he did very well.

btw

Still waiting for the rating to load, but no, Turner fills me with dread. He has not let anything in and makes some solid saves, and I want him to look good, because I’m American. He just looks scared and sent a quite a few wayward balls out of play.

Teryima Adi

Spot on. You can’t play football with dread in you.

Goonshow

Hopefully he just needs a few more games to settle – prone to the odd brain-fart (never good in a keeper!) but seems to have very good shot-stopping reflexes.

Finsbury Park Gooner

Agreed, I thought he had a really good game. Couple of misplaced passes aside, he made some important saves

Arkansas Gooner

Agreed. Feel like Turner gets analyzed more harshly than Ramsdale (Def think him being American plays a part in that). He’s the better shot stopper of the two goalies for sure.

Smiggles

That’s. Insane.

VAR will solve all the problems

Him coming from MLS is more like the reason he gets analyzed. You are basically the back-up goalie to the league leaders of the best league in the world. Don’t think Turner got a fraction of the abuse that Ramsdale got without even touching the ball.

Teryima Adi

No, he is not- not the better shot stopper.

Arkansas Gooner

He definitely is. Ramsdale is an average to below-average shot stopper with excellent distribution and passing range. Turner is a good to possibly great shot stopper with much worse distribution and passing range. 538, FBRef, Opta, whatever stats you want to use pretty clearly show this.

Merlin’s Panini

About right in my opinion. He didn’t have a lot to do. To pass quite poorly under no pressure when that was what you did more than anything doesn’t warrant much higher.
I feel like he looks nervous most of the time. He was surely bought as someone who can play the ball under pressure (and not) given that’s part of our game. Perhaps he needs a really top performance in the shirt to build that confidence.

Savage

Thought he looked very comfortable on the ball. He doesn’t have Ramsdale’s passing range though…yet, but that’s Ramsdale’s standout quality.

Bukake Saka

In remember in one of his first interviews when he signed he said: “The style of play with the Revolution is mighty old school. If there’s pressure, we don’t really try to play out of it too much. “At Arsenal, the goalkeepers are required to play a little bit more with the ball, playing in the system rather than just sort of going out there” I doubt his distributing will even be on the level required for an Arsenal first goalkeeper as playing out from the back is essential for our type of play. Whenn we’re dominant like yesterday’s game… Read more »

Jamie Ryan

True; and the point of playing him in these games–which, let’s be honest, we are likely to win–is to give him experience.

Teryima Adi

Turner doesn’t strike me as a good keeper. Too jittery especially with the ball at his feet. Seems to lack confidence.

El Mintero

If he can’t play the ball out with his feet then why did we buy him? He’ll never be reliable in Arteta’s system.

dominic

To those folk who relatively recently requested their arsenal back…

C.B.

Trouble is that a lot of our Arsenal included the Invincibles, so always going to be tough to get that back…

Arsenalnut

We pretty much have our old Arsenal back. In 1998, we won the league (by 1) with 78 points. In 1999 we came in second (1 point back) with 78 points. We can reach those point totals. In 2002 we won with 87 points Five years later, at the peak of their powers, the Invincibles won the league with 90 points. Obviously they never lost a game. At the same time they dropped 24 points via 12 draws. Happily, we finished 15 points ahead of third place ManU. The top of the league is very different now. In the last… Read more »

Bongogooner

10/10 for the liveblog chat today

Mayor McCheese

The liveblog chat today was epic! I think Chemgooner is still meeting with parents!

Collibosher

I enjoyed it!

Left Testicle

Wasn’t Bodo Glimt in Star Wars?

Bongogooner

No you mean lord of the rings

Mayor McCheese

Yes, it invites some kind of mash-up involving Frodo, Bilbo, and Gimli.

Mayor McCheese

What’s Ben White doing with his hand there?

Merlin’s Panini

But is it his hand?

PeteyB

Covering the boner he got from seeing Gabi’s skills?

Hantal

Loved the sneaky throw in misdirect from odegaard and Tomi ahead of the goal

Emi Rates

What a player Vieira will be for us once he hits his stride.

Edge87

Maybe not on long enough to rate but thought Nelson had a good cameo

Fledz

Agreed. He looked sharp and hungry.

Morrisey fan #1

And he was smiling. Even on the outskirts of the team players are happy to be at Arsenal and that says a lot about the atmosphere.

Arsenalnut

Like Cassius?

Public Elneny Number One

Matt Turner always looks like he’s got smudged eyeliner on.
Also does anyone else think Marquinhos looks a bit like David Rocastle?

Merlin’s Panini

Turner has that Almunia-esque haunted look. Viviano had the same. And thank you. I was trying to think of who Marquinhos reminded me of, and it was indeed Rocky.

Goonshow

Me too – dunno how I didn’t clock that resemblance earlier… kept bothering me.

Rnab08

Sambi has a bit of AMN vibes to me. Looks comfortable on the ball but just is not switched on off it enough to anchor a midfield. Not sure that’s something that’s so easily trained, and it’s not surprising we’re being linked with a few #6’s out there.

Btgooner

Yeah I think they must see Lakonga’s ceiling as a 6 is not high. He is there out of necessity.

Rnab08

He’s looked good as an 8, I think if Elneny was fit he would’ve played there yesterday. I don’t mean to be overly harsh on him; I just don’t think he’s quite the Partey successor the club thought they were buying.

William Nilliam

Not on for long, but Nelson definitely had a point to prove when he came on, he looked lively. He should get more time now, give Martinelli a rest.

Aleksander Włodarz

I love the sound of the cracking post… especially when I’m lonely 🤔😅

Mayor McCheese

Hm. Is this the Eastern European version of the expression, “bust a nut”?

JP2

Gotta say I’m a big fan of Tierney getting more shots off lately. He’s had some good ones and they always have a lot of power behind them, gives us good opportunities for rebound goals. He’ll start getting them in the net too.

Goonshow

More than that, if he can build a bit of a ‘Robert ‘O McCarlos’ reputation, he will pull defenders out of the box to close him down when he chunders in from wide… then Jesus will rise up and create miracles

AusGunner

Bozø/Gimpt

Zet

Holding hair is flourishing. Certainly look better than Rooney.

Collibosher

Maybe C*nte will open discussions with Holding. Not about a transfer to Sp*ds, you understand, but a chat about his Barnet.

Goonshow

Is Rob in talks with Barnet now?

Exit the Lemming

Someone should have maybe told Wayne they do faces now

benjmin

Masterclass – Lokonga,Jesus,Odegaard.

ImarnuelAFC

10/10 to the lads for shutting up the commentator who couldn’t stop with the”Arsenal have not kept a home clean sheet this season”

Jolly joe

More superior to their opponents. Good team selection. Bravo.

Woolwich Tiern time

Not on long enough to rate for Nelson is a total cop out Blogs. He had a neat little impact in the time he featured including two chances and a decent set up. Your refusimg to give credit to a player you’ve written off already.

Exit the Lemming

Nice to see Matt Turner making a couple of decent saves. Still can’t see us beating Liverpool on Sunday.
