Player ratings H v Man City
Was Man City but just wish we had turned up
Ryan 2 a good keeper but had a shocker tonight
Montoya 2 dog shit
Bernardo 5 looks good going forward not so good defending
Webster 5 thought he was not to bad
Dunk 6.5 my Albion mom
Propper - 0 total and utter shit tonight
Bissouma - 6 least he tried
Mooy - 5 looks unfit and slow but nice touches
Gross - 4 too slow
Trossard 6 felt so sorry for him class but no service
Connolly 5 tried so hard impossible for him tonight
Lamptey - 6 - Should of started
Burn - not on long enough
Stephens - 6 to be fair looked ok
Maupay - 4 poor when he came on
Ali J - not on long enough
All marks given take into account the incredible quality of the opposition
Ryan - 2 - Rumblings against him, (from serious people) for the first time in his Albion career. A case to answer for goals 3, 4 and 5. His poorest game for the Albion
Montoya - 2 - Gave the winger acres. Uncertain in possession. Continually failed to show Sterling onto his left, leading to the crucial first goal
Bernardo - 3 - Horrible switch off for Jesus goal. Unconvincing in possession. Crossing ineffective. Offside about 4 times. Burn's stock has improved
Webster - 3- Technique on the ball is ok. I think his confidence has take a battering in the last week. Given a torrid evening
Dunk - 5 - Competent on the ball, though long range passing ineffective tonight. Deserves better defenders to play alongside.
Propper - 1 - Shockingly casual and inaccurate passing. Playing like he's already engineered a move.
Bissouma - 4 - Got his foot in and displayed energy, though outclassed.
Mooy - 6 - MOM (if we're proceeding with the fantasy that the MOM was playing for us). The only player on our team who it looked plausible that he once played for Man City. A good technician
Gross - 4 - Had moments of class, but could hardly get into the game
Trossard - 5 - He's still playing well, I expect we'll see more impressive play from him in the last 3 games.
Connolly - 5 - Threatened with him movement in behind, needs better service.
Lamptey - 6 - Terrific defending to deny Mahrez
Burn - 2 - Should have cleared the 5th off the line
Stephens - 3 - We were punch drunk by the time he was told to come on and limit the damage. Very little involvement
Maupay - 2 - Couldn't hold it for us
Ali J - 2 - Couldn't hold it for us
A half-hearted, pitiful display, riddled with mistake after mistake, against a very good side. I'm afraid some heads dropped in the second half and less than 100% was being given by some.
Ryan.....4.....The sooner he gets some competition, the better. Poor display
Montoya...3....Not good enough.
Webster....5...Lacks positional sense. Mistakes in him every game but clearly third name on teamsheet every game.
Dunk....6.5....Thank God.
Bernardo...4....Ensured Burn will be straight back in. Ragged and ill-disciplined display.
Propper....3....Away with the fairies. Playing at a different tempo to everyone else. Shocking.
Mooy....6....Worked hard and didn't give up, unlike some others.
Bissouma...5...Too many mistakes.
Gross....4.5....One good ball into the box, wasted by Trossard. Apart from that....help!
Trossard...5....Couldn't get in the game. Not the worst.
Connolly....5....On basis that he didn't do anything. No physicality at all. Nudged off ball all the time
Subs.....5....for a bit of irrelevant huffing and puffing.
Potter...Surely we can mix it up a little against the top teams. They know we are going to play out from the back ( slowly ) They know we will give the ball away v the high press. Result.... we get pressed, we give the ball away, we concede goals, we lose games.
Do we need one of these threads for tonight?
Think everyone is acutely aware of who wasn't up for/to it tonight.
Dunk and Stephens when he came on were our best players and only voices on the pitch, says it all.
And that being the reason why Stephens is going nowhere. We need players with bite and attitude as well as the flair players and I think GP appreciates what he brings. Unless we can replace him and his leadership and attitude with an upgrade he will be staying
You had best prepare yourself then.if half of these players are in the squad next season, prepare for another dismal and dire season.
Ryan 3 - To blame for at least 2 of the goals and didn't look confident at other times. Probably the first spell of continuous poor form for us.
Montoya 2 - How did this man once play for Barcelona
Bernardo 3 - Atrocious positioning all game. Slight leeway given as its his first start in a while.
Dunk 6 - Did ok. That's all I can muster for him.
Webster 5 - not actially his worst game for us.
Propper 4 - Def one of his poorer performances; struggles when receiving the ball from the back 4 which is a fundamental part of our play.
Bissouma 6 - one of the few that gave a shit
Gross 5 - Wasn't terrible, but just wasn't great either.
Mooy 6 - Same as Gross, but showed more attacking intent.
Trossard 6 - Tried and came closest to a goal, but didnt have the players to link up with.
Connolly 5 - Ran and ran but fed on sod all...positioning was poor at times too and doesnt seem to want to press as much as Maupay does.
Stephens 6 - did well when he came on
Lamptey 6 - got forward and at least showed players down the line, which Montoya didn't.
Burn 5 - added little to an already v poor left side
Maupay 5 - Not much he could do, but poor decision making when he could have put Ali J through late on.
Ali J 6 - offered an outlet and made some good runs, but was never found.
We were always going to find it hard tonight as they were that good but some players disappointed. Fortunately we are in such a position it shouldnt be a problem, not like last years 5-0 v Bournemouth.
Next game is more important, that rough patch of games is done with now.
Exactly the same scores from me, but I’d give AJ a 6. He came on for his first appearance post lockdown into a nightmare scenario, he ran his socks off and seemed to give a shit. That gets a decent score.

Oops, right question to the wrong poster. What would you score Potter incidentally? Great summary btw.
