Arsenal Ratings: First Loss, Saliba & Trossard

The Gunners finally tasted defeat this season, falling to a 1-0 loss against Everton. But while the result was disappointing, there were some bright spots. Let's take a look at how the players fared.

William Saliba: A Solid Anchor

Saliba was a rock at the back, even with the rest of the defense looking a bit shaky. He was a calming presence, winning tackles and making crucial interceptions. He's a real leader for this young team and, despite the loss, continued to show his class.

Rating: 8/10

Leandro Trossard: Bright Spot in a Dim Performance

Trossard was one of the few Arsenal players who looked like they wanted to take the game by the scruff of the neck. He was a constant threat going forward, creating chances and generally looking lively. He was a big miss when he was subbed off.

Rating: 7/10

The Rest of the Gang

Let's be honest, it was a tough one for the majority of the squad. The midfield struggled to control the game, and the attacking players were often frustrated. It wasn't their best day at the office. But hey, it happens!

Here's a quick rundown of the rest of the team:

• Odegaard: 6/10 - Quiet performance.
• Partey: 5/10 - Not his usual dominant self.
• Saka: 6/10 - Looked isolated at times.
• Martinelli: 5/10 - Couldn't find his shooting boots.
• Jesus: 6/10 - Worked hard, but lacked his usual sharpness.
• White: 5/10 - Struggled with Everton's physicality.
• Gabriel: 5/10 - Couple of mistakes that almost cost Arsenal.
• Ramsdale: 6/10 - Couldn't do much about the goal.

Moving Forward

This loss is a wake-up call for Arsenal. They need to learn from their mistakes and get back to winning ways. But with the quality in this squad, they're more than capable of bouncing back. The title race is still wide open. We're all expecting a better performance next time out.
