Arsenal have shaky pair in worst Premier League XI of the weekend

Arsenal have shaky pair in worst Premier League XI of the weekend

David Raya and William Saliba both had a ‘mare v Bournemouth on Saturday and make a rare appearance in this XI.

The XI is based on WhoScored ratings so blame the algorithms.

GOALKEEPER: David Raya (Arsenal)
Shoddy passing and gave away a penalty. It’s a performance which has seen him knocked out of the Premier League XI of the season so far.

RIGHT-BACK: Dara O’Shea (Ipswich Town)
Subbed with a back problem in midweek for Ireland and probably wished he had not declared himself fit to face Everton as he played a part in both Toffees goals before being hauled off just after the hour mark.

CENTRE-BACK: William Saliba (Arsenal)
Given a red card because he deserved a red card.

CENTRE-BACK: Tosin Adarabioyo (Chelsea)
Given a yellow card because he deserved a yellow card. Struggled massively v Liverpool and it was no surprise when he was hauled off.

LEFT-BACK: Kristoffer Ajer (Brentford)
Contributed nothing offensively and even less defensively against Manchester United while a yellow card also hits his numbers. Brentford miss Rico Henry.

CENTRAL MIDFIELD: Andreas Pereira (Fulham)
Booed off the park by Fulham fans who have watched some below-par performances of late. The passing was poor, the effort was negligible and the penalty was pathetic.

CENTRAL MIDFIELD: Lucas Paqueta (West Ham)
Repeatedly gave the ball away and created nothing of note before being hauled off after an hour of the capitulation to Tottenham.

RIGHT WING: Wes Burns (Ipswich Town)
Credited with an error leading to an Everton goal on an afternoon when he failed to find a teammate with a single cross. Taken off after 62 minutes in which he once again looked like a jobbing Championship player.

ATTACKING MIDFIELD: Omari Hutchinson (Ipswich Town)
Moved out to the right after Burns had been hauled off and did a little better, but offered literally nothing defensively as Ipswich were easily beaten by Everton.

LEFT WING: Jadon Sancho (Chelsea)
The Liverpool clash entirely passed him by until half-time, when he was put out of his misery by Pedro Neto, who created far more in his 45 minutes of action.

STRIKER: Kevin Schade (Brentford)
One off-target shot in 73 forgettable minutes earns him a place in this worst XI. He is yet to score a Premier League goal this season.
