Bart - 2. Lost puppy

Lamptey - 1 league one player

Dunk - 0. Did nothing to deserve even one point. Thanks for everything but you’ve had your day.

JPVH - 1. Worst game he’s ever had

Pervis - 3. Plays football like a child. A throw in straight across your own box? Only gets more than a 1 because for the first time in ages some half decent corner deliveries from one of our players

Baleba - 6. I’d say he was average.

Ayari - 4. Tried but too lightweight and doesn’t actually offer anything really. There’s nothing he’s ’great’ at. Just a younger Milner. Bang average player

Rutter - 4. got better second half but not his best

Minteh - 1. Should be nowhere near the team. Plays like his brain don’t control his legs.

Mitoma - 3. Does loads of fingering but a virgin when it comes to f*cking. All well looking pretty but the lack of end product is getting boring.

Pedro - 5. Tried but nothing of note.

Subs:
Enciso who gets a 10 (in comparison to the others). The only one who looked like he cared and showed some nice touches. Gruda looked half useful aswell.

Fabian - 1. Fans biggest game of the season and we didn’t show up. We’ve been god awful for weeks. In fact, I don’t think we’ve played well for a whole game all season. With £200m+ spent if we start plummeting down the table questions will rightly be asked. I think the fans will turn quite quickly if things don’t improve.

What a shit Sunday.

Enciso and Gruda a 6, Baleba a 7.

Everyone else didn’t get beyond a 2 or 3. I thought Georginho and his twin Ruttner, JPVH, Dunk, and Mitoma were especially poor.

The manager was a 1. I don’t trust his ability to read or affect games, and we can’t keep hiding behind injuries. He’s not making anyone better.

The referee had an abysmal first half, and 2 absolute f**k ups led to their two goals. But we can’t hide behind that.

4
Verbruggen 5 - Average

Lamptey 3 - However good he can be going forward, he is equally bad at defensively
Dunk 1 - shambolic
JPVH 3 - Terrible Passing
Pervis 3 - Decent balls in but nothing else again

Mitoma 4 - Needs to improve his end product
Baleba 6 - Can't carry a midfield by himself, but needed to do more today
Ayari 4 - good runs but out of his depth
Minteh 2 - Forgot he was playing. No support for Lamptey

Rutter 4 - At least he tried. Heavy first touch again.
Pedro 4 - He's rubbish at No9, needs to be behind Welbeck or Fergie

subs:
Enciso 7 - Better than the rest of the guys. Provided an injection of energy and drive
Fergie 4 - Didn't do much. Played a part in our consolation goal
Gruda 5 - Unlucky with that free kick
Adingra 1 - Never play him on the right again. Looked lost

FH 1 - Got it wrong AGAIN tactically, got it wrong AGAIN mentally, most of the subs were on too late.

There's no point holding back, say what you really mean!
Still, a positive is Gary O'Neil is available

Sitting with my family watching that was pretty sobering… we lacked any sort of cohesion, dynamism, collective strategy… we tried to play high tempo - I assume to look like we cared, but our touch, passing, control was beyond woeful.. out of possession was even worse, sluggish, slow to press (sorry inconsistent at pressing) soft in the 50/50… fell over all the time, couldn’t defend the box, couldn’t defend any sort of cross… played like a group of lads who’d just met… no one seemed to play well at all and then Julio came on and seemed to be playing everywhere…

Really, they were all at sea… it was a deeply worrying display.

No one gets over a 4 really, given the gravitas of the ‘derby’ it was fairly appalling… as far as the tactical ideas go???? I’m not sure 🤔 I get that by having no obvious pattern it makes us difficult to predict, but at the same time when the intended ‘deception’ falls apart, we’re left with nothing more than an overwrought chaotic & disjointed mess.

Urghhhh.

No criticism of players, manager or club is over the top after a shitshow like that

Verbruggen - 2 - Barely ever makes any saves. Didn't today either.

Lamptey - 3 - Struggles against grizzled, streetwise opponents and did today
Estupinan - 2 - Worse performance in an albion shirt.
Van Hecke - 2 - Worst performance in an albion shirt. Might have expected a better pass completion rate had he played blindfolded
Dunk - 2 - Slowed us down. Glaring mistakes when chasing the game and lack of ability on the cover are understandably setting alarm bells ringing

Baleba - 7 - Really good. Wonderful touches and made got knows how many tackles
Ayari - 3 - Poor selection. Lost the physical battle in a congested midfield. He looks good when there was acres of space. This one is on FH

Minteh - 1 - Appalling decision making. I don't remember seeing a winger so dominated by a full back. Our right is a big problem
Rutter - 3 - A few nice moments, but some poor passing. His worst game for us by far
Mitoma - 2 - Rarely took responsibility. Still sort of feel you have to keep him on as you know he can do something
Pedro - 3 - Didn't hold the ball once through the game I don't think. When was the run in behind?

Subs - Enciso and Gruda buzzed around nicely and should both get more time

The manager - 1 - Got it all wrong. Selection, tactics, subs too late. . Absolutely bossed by Glasner. He should have to stand in front of the fans and explain that

JPvH - 4
Ayari - 4
Baleba - 5
Mitoma - 4
Minteh - 4
Georginho - 4 - flatters to deceive

It's not particularly constructive, but:

Bart 4: Looked dodgy throughout. Some awful, panicky kicks as well.

Lamptey 4: You can't train being too small to be a defender out of someone. As soon as he is targeted, there's nothing he can do, especially when the RW offers no support.

Dunk 3: Really poor. Doesn't communicate or have any presence at all for a captain. Should've done better with the free header.

Van Hecke 3: Mateta scared the shit out of him. Passing was appalling. Three consecutive horror shows after being PotS before then.

Pervis 3: The throw across our box, the back pass which nearly went in and not paying attention when a short corner had been played to him summed it up. Got very lucky with the disallowed goal.

Ayari 4: A whole load of nothing.

Baleba 5: Not a very good first half, got caught out a few times. Better in the second, nothing beyond a few nice touches and ball carries though.

Georginio 4: Won a few challenges first half but offered bugger all going forward.

Minteh 3: Offered no cover in the first half. At least tried a bit in the second, when it was too late. Awful decision-making going forward. Should've been off at HT.

Joao Pedro 3: Even my 10 year old was asking why he was playing RW and giving us nothing to aim for in the middle. Every 'move' seemed to break down when it got to him. Needs to stay on his bloody feet.

Mitoma 3: Totally ineffective.

Enciso 6: At least tried and gave us some attacking impetus.

Gruda was OK. Rest N/A

Bet the sponsors had fun choosing an MoM today 😬

I don't think there's any doubt who the better keeper is, but I do wonder if we missed Steele's experience down the spine of the team together with Pascal and Danny

Steele, Dunk, Webster, Milner, Gross, Lallana and Webeck were always talked about as the experienced members of the squad who focused the kids throughout training and matches. There were some brilliant kids, but only one of the experienced spine out there today ???

That team isn’t THAT inexperienced. The defence, Lamptey aside, is our strongest defence.

The biggest problem is we’ve got a tactically inept manager and the players who we’ve spent big on, who were supposed to come in and improve our first 11 as established players, have either been woeful (Wieffer) or injured (O’Riley, Ferdi).
