[Albion] ***Match Ratings v Arsenal at home 29/12/20***
- Thread starter One Teddy Maybank
- Start date
Bissouma - 8 we would have been beaten by more if he hadn’t been on the pitch. Can see him getting a big move soon.
Sanchez - 7 did nothing wrong. Made one brilliant (if somewhat fortunate) save.
The rest - 5
Poor in attack, even worse at defending.

Gross and Bissouma were both caught the wrong side.
That they couldn't get back, is excusable. Saka is quick. Though, there's a strong argument we should be playing a holding midfielder (I expect it would be White) as we're not covering these runners from midfield at the moment
Then I should have given you a comparison on the Arsenal players. I wouldn't have given a single one of them an 8. And Sanchez got it for that brilliant point blank save. In short, I agree, although I think our chucked-in-the-deep-end keeper deserves respect.
Bissouma will be off to a better team in the summer. I can see us rejecting every single bid in Jan though as without him we are even more fooked.

Mollumby must be thinking - manager's office tomorrow and say either play me, loan me out or sell me.
Alzate must be wondering what he has done wrong , injects so much pace into the passing.
I could see the reasoning behind the set up from start but it needed to change at half time with two strikers on....he doesn't understand subs....
I actually thought Bernardo warranted a 7. Thought he offered a bit.
But - I like veltman and I like burn. But as centre backs or emergency fullbacks. Not starting as wingbacks.
Surely alzate offers better athleticism and attacking threat there?
So languid in the final third. We keep it nicely and play beautifully everywhere else. The. Fu k it up by being so slow and letting the opposition get 9 men back before we kick it out for a goal kick or give it back to them

You could say the same for Dunk, couldn't you?

Effort is Gross' thing. Running is, but he's just not capable of rushing aka sprinting.

Don't think so. This was on Webster's side, he was much closer to Lacazette than Lewis

Well, the reason why Gross shouldn't be playing centre mid (Lallana as well) is that he doesn't have the athleticism to get up and down. If he's wrong side he's not getting back.
Gross should be competing for a space in the front 3

Nope. Dunk was much closer to Lacazette.
There is a bit of a theme on NSC to finger Webster when he's not culpable. On this:
-- I'm not identifying you, it's a general thing
-- I'm not saying one of the defensive three is necessarily culpable. They all stood there in a line. At least one of them should have got out to block the shot. None of them did. If I was forced to pick one of them out on this, I'd plump for Dunk.
Have a look again. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

I concur, i feel this was Dunk's error. He should have gone to Lacazette himself, or as the captain, communicated to Webster to pick him up.

Sanchez - 7
Webster - 7
Dunk - 7
Burn - 5 - not comfortable in their half and doesn’t have the pace to recover
Veltman - 5 not a wing back
Bissouma - 9 - Needs to move on to further his career
Propper - 6 surprisingly good
Bernardo - 5 again, not a wing back. At one point we had a break on the right and he was the only man in the box. WTF!!!
Gross - 5 anonymous
Ali J - 5 never takes his opportunities
Mac Allister - 4 clueless
Maupay - 5
Potter - 0 totally lost my faith tonight. I understand that being a manager of a small fish in a big pond is hard, but how can you justify that team selection and tactics. Time for a change
