[Albion] *** Maych Ratings vs Arsenal - 2/10/21***

[jakarta]

Cucu, wow what a signing, only his 4th Premier game, wait till he is us to Premier League pace. Hell of a bargain.

Saw him vs. Leicester and nearly fell out of my Seat when I heard what we had paid for him. Can''t wait to see him and Lamptey starting together.

 

[origigull]

Very little to choose between Cucurella and Trossard, just think Trossard has been a revelation this season….

I thought both were worthy of a joint MOM award tonight. Both get an 8 from me, the rest 7.5.

 

[origigull]

All opinions.

I’m a Duffy fan, but didn’t think he played as well as the others.
Some poor passing in the first half, two glaring misses, and one very badly mistimed header in the second. He did however, do lots of good bits as well such as the crossfield pass, so would stand by my average mark.

He also did 2 Webster-like forays into the heart of arse's defence and lost the ball. Keep in simple Duffy next time please.

That's Spanish cars for you. Famous for dodgy door locks

Veltman was sublime at everything, again.

Belying his smooth image, a quiet assassin when called upon to end counter attacks.

Exactly this.
Effortlessly ruthless

Veltman is the king of taking a yellow.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Sanchez -7.5 - did everything he needed to
Veltman - 8 - Cultured performance again
Dunk - 7.5 - Supreme as always
Duffy - 7.5 - Another strong performance from him
Burn - 7.5 - Very handy performance from him
Cucurella - 9 - Exceptional stuff. - Really taken to the Prem much sooner than I expected
Lallana - 8 - His best performance of the season.
Gross - 6.5 - Not at his best today. One of the few occasions where I think we would have done better without him.
Moder - 8 - Exceptional today - He has a bright future
Trossard - 9 - MotM - unbelievably good today. He was everywhere, lost count of the time he was pressed by 3 players and came away with the ball/played a decent pass.
Maupay - 8 - Exceptional performance. The lad is flying at the moment.

MacAllister - 7 - assured
Solly - 7.5 - Looked on a mission to prove his worth. Cucu's nabbed his spot, but I'm sure he'll get plenty of minutes this season anyway.

6 - average

Sanchez - 8
Veltman - 8

Gross - 7
Moder - 7
Trossard - 9 - MoM
Maupay - 8

MacAllister - 7
Solly - 7

Potter - 9

Moss - 5 - pillock

Wonderful display, just brilliant

Trossard was excellent, just wish he'd taken the shots on more instead of others.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Only saw second half so cant really rate the guys fairly but thought, while everyone was good, that Veltman and BDB were superb. Understand that they might not have been as vital in first half as the team seems to have been more dominant in that half (from what I've read).

The fact that this guy doesn’t care anymore means we’re destined for a mid-table season.

Duffy gave the ball straight to an opponent 3-4 times in the first half and then there was that mistimed back-header in the second as you say. It wasn’t a good performance.

It is all about opinions and people’s perception of players. Trossard tries things and loses the ball in bad places nearly every match and yet nobody mention that. Everybody played well yesterday. Players make mistakes but yesterday singling out players is bit unfair.

I wasn't picking on Duffy as I thought he had a good game. I was just saying with his skill-set with the ball it was a bit of a risk and a surprise to boot. Potter likes players to take risks but they have to be calculated one. As long as he had cover yes then take the risk but I thought when he lost the ball there was big gap behind him.

And yet the fake swede still felt the need to post
