Rice Is The New Viera! (Robbie & Lee Player Ratings) | Bayern Munich 2-2 Arsenal

AFTV. Lee, we are still here at the Allianz Arena. We can see it in the background. Still lit up in red. Fantastic stadium. One of the best stadiums to come to in world football. And Arsenal have come here and got a fantastic result. 2-2. Time now to get into the player ratings over here in Germany. I'll tell you what, it'll be a lot better than when we were doing player ratings years ago when we were getting 5-2. Let's start off with the goalkeeper, David Raya, today. I'm close to giving him a nine. You know what I mean? Two goals he's had no chance with. Eight out of ten. A couple of really, really good saves. I thought he was brilliant today. I'm looking at him and going, yeah, you're a proper keeper. I'm watching him today, a proper keeper, and deserves all the plaudits he's getting. I thought he was fantastic today, eight out of ten. Yeah, I agree with you, eight out of ten. Fantastic, brilliant performance. Made a couple of great saves. what can we say we've got ourselves a top quality player let's go to the right hand side Uri and Tim but I kind of got a bit caught out on that goal definitely caught out on the goal other good things in this game listen he didn't get skinned and all that I suppose 6, 7 out of 10 I'm going to go 7 I think I'm going to go 7 I don't think he was spectacular he was at fault for the goal he dropped too deep there but as you say he was good Listen, no one played bad, so I think seven out of ten was fair. Okay, Ricciardo, Calafiori on the other side. I agree with you, seven. Yeah, I'm with you, seven. Calafiori on the other side. Same, seven. I thought he looked very, very solid defensively. Didn't get as forward as much as that because of the standard of opposition. I thought he held his own and played very, very well. Yeah, I agree with... I'm agreeing with everything at the moment. I'll go with you, seven. Ezri Konsa got booked pretty early, but, you know... Listen, every time I see him, I think he gets better. You know, he's playing at the highest level today. Listen, other than the pass and the penalty, he kept Harry Kane very, very quiet. I'm giving him a seven as well. Why am I agreeing with everything you're saying? This is unusual. But I think a seven is accurate. Was it him with the handball? Was it actually him? I think it was Timber. Was it Timber? I'm not sure. I don't know. Oh, you might have been right. It might have been Timber, yeah. Give Timber a six then. He's had a bit of a meh now, Timber, hasn't he? When we think about it, we're revising the Timber to a six. Keep it at seven, okay. All right, Gabriel. He put in a couple of great blocks. Remember that little block header he did? Yeah, I thought he was comfortable tonight. I thought he, like, you know, I don't think he was as overstretched as much as Konza. I think, like, seven out of ten, I thought it was a steady performance from him today. I thought he was really good. Yep. Yeah. It's getting me mad now. I don't like agreeing with him like this. Seven out of ten for Gabriel. Let's move into the midfield. Bruno Guimaraes. I thought he played okay. I didn't think he was as good as... There were some good things he'd done, some good tackles. He should have had a... Outstanding header. Outstanding header. But for me, I expect a little bit more of him. I'm going to be honest. I do really like him. So I'm going to give him a six out of ten. That header though. I'm giving him a seven as well. You're going to give him a seven? I'm giving him a seven as well. I'm not going to argue with that. I'm not going to argue with that. All right. Martin Odegaard great assist for the first goal listen I thought he was everywhere today everywhere today trying to get things going it didn't always work and all that but I thought he played very very well today and he he kept going kept going winning the ball 8 out of 10 for me today I thought he was very very good I'm with you I thought he was quality especially in that first half he was like you said he was everywhere he was getting on the ball he just controlled it didn't he I loved what I saw of him today that was Martin Odegaard at his very best it was funny enough we was coming down here and Joe says he's got elite ball knowledge turned around and said Odegaard's playing very very well and we sort of said he's got to play a little bit better I thought he turned up tonight fantastic performance 8 out of 10 for him Declan Rice 9 out of 10 I thought he was outstanding from start to finish the one thing that he did I don't know if you agree with me on this I thought he made a mistake when he he got that Gnabry done him but yeah he sort of jumped it because he looked he looked at the player and then looked at the ball and instead of concentrating on the ball and I think he could have got a little nudge but it was clever from Gnabry that was the only mistake that he made and what I liked about it I don't know if you noticed as soon as he he put his hand up for it he didn't turn around and blame other people he put his hand up and went again like but the goal outstanding finish and at the end of the day he's a proper leader I know he got the captain armband at the end as well when Odegaard come off but he's one of those players Rob you just cannot leave you know out the side I know that at times I want him to be rested but that is why when you have a performance like that unbelievable yeah I agree with the nine as well man of the match and you know what you asked me this question when we were talking about keepers about you know is rare becoming like one of our best ever is Declan Rice when you because if you compare him to like a Vieira right is he starting to get towards where that's that's an argument. Vieira or Rice? Without a doubt. I think if you go into Arsenal Legends, it's Vieira. I would have to say that Liam Brady has to come into that equation. Cesc Fabregas would be in there as well. Declan Rice would have to be going in there. I have to say that now. I'm not saying he's in the level of Vieira. Don't get me wrong. Patrick was unreal. But he's on the table. You know, honestly, like, if Patrick Vieira was sitting on the table having his dinner, he ain't not going to not sit on that table. As far as I'm concerned, he's not, like, you know. He's gaining, he's gaining, right. Let's get over, we'll leave Saka off because, obviously, he came off injured very early in the game. He was playing well. Well, I'd give him a six because he was actually doing well and caused a few problems, like, you know. It was annoying that, you know, a pass that has done his hamstring, which is going to keep him out now to well after the international break. But that was a big blow. and that's the worry and I think this has been the problem with him I was going to bring this up I think like you know there's always a in the back of your mind that that hamstring's going to go I don't know if it's the same one but hamstring again it's psychologically Was it hamstring? Yeah I think so like yeah Okay Six for him Noni Madueke Eight out of ten Eight out of ten today Noni Madueke come of age today as far as I'm concerned I thought against quality opposition quality defenders he tormented them at times that little cut he does and shimmy and they did you see that time when he sort of like he had his back like he was going back to as a goal and he was going to pass it back to Ray and then he just turned and just went the other way and that's when I just said this guy's looking confident today and I don't know if you remember in the first half a little back flick and it put in Timber I thought he was brilliant that day he was a constant threat and that is what you need and we had that constant threat for the first time in a very very long time with both wingers and he 8 out of 10 i agree with the eight um kai havertz six yeah i think he was quite maybe the booking i felt some of his uh play it was was good but i felt that uh when yokore's come on we looked a little bit sharper so six out of ten all right uh for me here's a uh eight out of ten yeah eight out of ten scored a great goal great great goal right you know um brilliant finish i don't know why they was every everybody was sort of saying that was offside because he sort of like for me looked He looked like he'd come from behind. He looked like he timed his run perfectly. Which it was. And the finish was brilliant. Because, listen, you have to be at your best to be annoyed. You have to say that. So, fantastic finish. But not just that constant threat in the second half. There was a move in the second half which he got to the byline. It was unlucky. I thought he was brilliant today. And there was times where we had two or three players on him, Rob. And he was still coming away with the ball. Showed his quality. Showed his quality. He's an absolute top quality player. He did show it today, and I'm so pleased that he did. Yeah. Right, let's get into somebody. Well, he was a sub. Get into, who are we going? José Mourinho. Seven out of ten. I thought we'd come on and done a steady job again, like, you know, as a substitute needs to do. So, yeah, brilliant. Matz Sels. Seven as well. I thought he actually, we controlled the midfield a little bit better. Yeah, he did well. He did give the ball away once, though, and then it led to a big counter. I thought it was fouled. I thought it was fouled as well. I thought it was fouled. I thought that was a foul as well. I thought that was a foul but no because he turned away from the guy and got away from him and he was clipped but listen I thought he'd done well Viktor Gyökeres I'm giving him an 8 I'm giving him an 8 for the touch in itself if he doesn't that was and he was a problem when he came on problem when he came on worked very very hard but that was a sublime touch and like anybody that's played at football you know you've got the defender trying to that was superb so yeah 8 out of 10 for me I think that's all that's all the subs yeah alright Mikel Arteta today 9 out of 10 I thought substitutions you know like to lose your best sort of player after 10 minutes make the decision of bringing Eze he could have gone with someone else you know what I mean but he didn't and I thought he got everything right today substitutions I'm actually coming away from today's game slightly disappointed that we haven't won the game yeah but you know we take it but you know listen we're coming to places like this now not only we go to places in England like Liverpool's and the Man United's and Man City's and all that thinking that we've got a good chance of winning the games and doing well we're now going to the top teams in Europe so I'm giving him credit where credit's due and finally the fans listen there are loads of Arsenal fans in here today massive turnout by them fill the allocation brilliant outstanding no empty seats where I was Rob in Munich and I thought today where were I up and all that I thought we made us Bayern Munich fans we know we're great and all that but I thought our fans were outstanding after what we see on Saturday Sunday at night in France we were subdued and all that the fans were brilliant today the team made the fans react to all that 10 out of 10 I thought they were outstanding 10 out of 10 for the fans and listen 10 out of 10 for Bayern a really good place to come and watch I have to say because a lot of times we complain about like when you go to European games some of the places you go to the stadiums will be great but you're behind loads of netting and police are over the top but when you come here in German football in general they know how to do it it's always enjoyable and the German fans telling us where to go as well you need to go around there and all that unbelievably and sport we were coming down the stairs and they was all shaking their hands and all that like what brilliant 10 out of 10 for Bayern Munich fans brilliant not the ref though had a shocker I forgot the ref yeah 6 out of 10 I thought he was way biased do you know what it was with him he gave fouls so he weren't biased on the fouls he gave it's just that he didn't dish out he did with us though yeah no Bayern player got a yellow card I think 6 out of 10 I think it was that player there was that Conrad Leimer he must have had about four or five fouls Well, and Eze, Eze got, there was four or five Eze went through on one stage and he got, you know what I mean, like Harry Kane had a word with him and he, five. We're out. Nice.
