Matt Ryan 8 - world class saves etc, as usual. If he was a bit better with his feet and in the air he would be consiered a top, top keeper
Dan Burn - Im just gonna go ahead and avoid him again. Its difficult. Every team tries to abuse his lack of speed and mobility and when they create something its often from his wing. On the other hand this is a 197 cm left wing back who week out and week in performs decent against the best and fastest wingers and wing backs of the world.
Lewis Dunk 7 - good, lost the strikers a few times but generally yet another class performance.
Adam Webster 8 - no mistakes today and a nice lil goal to add to that.
Steven Alzate 7 - just a very mature and competent player and seems able to play in any position
Aaron Mooy 9 - world class midfielder. I was sceptic about signing him permanently as we need to add more pace, but... I'll have to back out of that one. Of course he needs to be bought.
Dale Stephens 7 - did Dale Stephens stuff.
Davy Pröpper 6 - some people whining about him today again but I think he was alright. Really needs a goal or something to boost his confidence a bit.
Pascal Gross 6 - not too succesfull in the open play and while a few free kickcs and corners were so-so, I think his delivery most of the time was good enough.
Aaron Connolly 7 - the man got a bit of tunnel vision and overcomplicates a few things but his running and ball control always makes it feel dangerous when he is on the run.
Neal Maupay 9 - was my man of the match already before the goal. Really showed class tonight; the running, the pressure, the ability to get to shooting positions, the goal, even his playmaking is really good. Give it two years and the man will be considered one of the best (or at least most useful) forwards in the world.
Montoya 7 - he sort of played too little but it somehow felt safe and nice to have him on the pitch tonight.
Tross & Duffy played too little.
