[Albion] AEK Athens (least bad) Man of the Match

[Bozza]

I genuinely have no idea.

(Poll includes players who were on before the 80th minute)

 

[LamieRobertson]

Pedro

 

[Arthur]

Blimey think I must have been watching a different game to whoever voted for Pervis or March. Perv is usually Mr Consistency but was dreadful last night. I lost count how many times he gave the ball away. I'd forgotten March was playing until he was on the wing in front of me the second half.

Slightly unfair to single those two out given everyone had a stinker. Think we need to write it off as one of those games and move on.

 

[RandyWanger]

I didn't even notice Pervis on the pitch, can't recall his name mentioned in the commentary either.

 

[HCxUK]

Joao Pedro by far and away.

 

[Weststander]

Pedro, plus I thought Gross played well despite the Albion midfield chaos around him, a cool head.

That's what marks it for me as a truly bad day in the office as our two Mr Dependables - Estupinan and Groß - had games as bad as I can remember.

Giving Joao Pedro a rating for last night's performance is really difficult. In almost any circumstance, if a forward wins two penalties, and from those scores your only two goals of a game - you're giving the bloke a nine.

But honestly - he really wasn't very good last night.

He had that massive two-on-one chance at 2-2 that might well have won us the game, if instead of hitting it at the keeper's legs, he'd scored, or just squared it to Mitoma to tap into an open goal.

And what was with the f***ing STUPID f***ing FLICKS, all night? He literally gave the ball away FIVE times before the 50th minute, by trying to pull off an entirely unnecessary fancy flick, when a simple lay-off was all that was required, to keep the move progressing. Utterly infuriating.

I'd forgotten Fati was playing until he missed a late chance. Has he got a can't-be-subbed clause in his contract, I wonder?

 

[Seagull27]

Gone for Pedro, purely for winning both penalties and taking them very cooly.

The rest of his game was mixed - some great stuff, but sometimes trying too hard. Also very disappointed he took the shot for the 3rd when Mitoma had an open goal.

But no-one else stood out.

I voted Igor just to double down and see what sort of reaction it might get!

 

[kevo]

Clearly Gross. He did make some mistakes near the end, due to tiredness I think, but otherwise had a great all-round game and on another day would have scored a couple.

Also think Pedro had his best match for us. He got some abuse near me for trying a few too many tricks, but I like his confidence and flair. And if we ever wondered who would be our ice-cool penalty taker after Ali Mac, well now we know.

In a way it’s good not to notice certain players if they’re just quietly getting on with their job. Pervis is one of my favourite Albion players but actually stood out last night because he was so uncharacteristically bad. Really unfortunate as we needed someone of his ability to bolster the defence and push up into attack. No shortage of effort but he seemed to misplace every pass.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Fati almost run me over on the way out. Like his shooting, he missed.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Probably should have voted for Gilmour but chose Pedro for his balls of steel with the two penalties.

Mitoma was the worst of the lot for me.

 

[empire]

Pedro ,worst between Milner when on,mitoma and clear by a mile van hecke

 

[SUIYHP]

Personally thought Gilmour was the best but it was tough to say- Pedro did get the goals which is a positive as despite our poor performance they kept us in the match, but think he was a tad sloppy with Fati.

I voted Igor too - thought it was a fabulous debut - great prospect

I agree, but voted for Pascal.

Mitoma was the worst of the lot for me.

One of his poorest games for us. Their defence had clearly dobe their homework though and didnt give him any space.
