8/10 Superb pity we just couldn't hang on for at least a draw.

At least you missed the worst part of the game from a Leeds perspective, Rat.

8 for me after a 10 for the first 60 odd minutes. That hour, lead by Stach and Tanaka, the best we've played in the prem.

I scored a 7 ,we held our own and more at times but we were outclassed in the end which isn't surprising considering the cash they've spent and the players we have on the bench.No potential game changers if we fall behind,the one we did have has gone out on loan , Gnonto !
The boys did well.

Made it a 7, competed against the odds and took the lead, no answer to the money idling on their bench.

Could have scored before we did.

7 for me, we matched the champions for an hour, their class and bench the difference in the end. The fact that we're disappointed not to come away with something shows how much we have progressed since last season when they humbled us twice.

8/10

We outplayed one the best teams in the world for sixty minutes.

Arsenal bring on £235 million substitutes on, as opposed to our two freebies, a loan signing & Aaronson replacing four of our best players.

Aaronson & Wilson offered nothing, and not much more from the others.

Bruno Guimarães produced a magical display culminating in a world class goal.

7 for me , ultimately we were beaten by their class but we gave them a good game for a long period

8/10. Had we been battered then I could move on but the fact it’s still bugs me when I think of it so we must have played well.

An average of 7.4

Was waiting for those who say that the result has no bearing on rating the team performance as apparently the outcome of matches is a completely different thing and this poll is about performance.

7 for me but we all know it would have been 9 for a draw and 10 for a win

Jesse Marsch is no longer with the club.

Its not usual for me being the lone pessimistic on the forum, but I'm the one who gave a 6. The only reason I did that is because I feel the bar has been raised from last season.
This squad is performing significantly better than this time last year, so in hindsight I think we should've taken a point home with us - also given Arsenal got whacked the previous game by Brighton, who we drew with, also as an away game.
Listening to some of the interviews, sounds like the players felt the same way - which is good.
