Man City vs Arsenal match ratings

Going into the game I was just hoping that we did not get smashed like Burton did earlier in the season. less than a minute in the game and we had already let in a goal. Iwobi was unable to convince the world he is a professional footballer. He was awful the whole game.

We managed to stay the Man City attack and fight back into a 1-1. we played well today for the most part however we still show glaring problems throughout the pitch.
The only  plus we can take is that we showed some fight and that our goal keeper is quality.

My ratings are:
Our back line played well for the most part and get bonus points for how much they had thrown at them but I cannot give them any higher than this, however, Lichtsteiner was left wanting for more cover from Iwobi. This does not excuse the fact that the right side of the pitch was left open to be exploited which it was. He later started to cover the right side however it was too late at this point.

Iwobi was terrible from start to finish. He should no longer start in my opinion and we should start playing Suarez despite not being used to the team or the League.
Torreira and Guendouzi played well for the most part however they had little to work with. Kolasinac didnt do much so gets a basic score.

Aubameyang and Lacazette looked dangerous when at the other end however we lacked the creativity needed to break the defence of city down.

Man of the match - Leno, without him it would have been a lot worse for us and he showed that he is a top quality keeper.

Worst of the game - Iwobi. All the goals can from open play down the right hand side. Iwobi was more at fault for the goals. not tracking his man and not showing desire to get the ball back or make a tackle.

He showed his full capability in the first goal. He runs into the opposing player and loses the ball, he has very poor ball control and lacks the experience and judgement of a first team footballer.
He needs to get dropped into the under 23s or reserves so that he can get back to the way he was at the start of the season.
