[Albion] Player ratings on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke

[Machiavelli]

We did it.

Steele 7.5 -- great distribution, very calm, one solid early save and made the rest look comfortable
Gross 7 -- did his job
Van Hecke 8 MotM -- some great tackles, interceptions, recoveries. Good on the ball too.
Dunk 7.5 -- some great stuff but, unusually, a lot of sloppy passing
Lamptey 5.5
Caicedo 8 -- kicked to bits, immense
Ali Mac 6.5 -- some stuff worked, others didn't
Buonanotte 5 -- a few sparks, but want more from him
Sarmiento 5 -- outrageous skill, but not strong enough, lost too many 50-50s and got done when tasked with holding the ball up
Mitoma 7 -- did what mattered
Ferguson 7 -- ditto

Subs n/a

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Too high for Van Hecke. Too low for Lamptey

 

[jcdenton08]

Caicedo MOTM - was superb tonight. If everyone did their jobs at his level of commitment and quality we would’ve won much more handsomely.

 

[portslade seagull]

Thought Lamptey dived in and sold himself a bit tonight. Needs to stay on his feet

 

[HH Brighton]

Caiceido MOM by a mile

 

[dwayne]

Maccalister bang average again for the 3rd game running. Going to have to up his game for man city !!

 

[Wardy's twin]

Thought Dunks passing was poor. Defending ok.Would have kept Ferguson on.Steele pretty good as were Macand Caicedo. The rest were pretty lightweight.

He's just not the same player without Messi 5-10 yards from him the whole game

 

[dwayne]

He's a good player ... But for me his level is Brighton. Fair play if he gets a move to a top 4 team but I'm much more confident being ok without him rather than caciedo.

 

[Mike Small]

Steele 8 - Great
Gross 7 -- Solid
Van Hecke 8 - very good but one desperate lunge which could have been costly
Dunk 8 - started slow finished great
Lamptey - 7 shows how poney Stoke are that they boo him
Caicedo 8
Ali Mac 6
Buonanotte 5.5
Sarmiento 6 - wish he was quicker
Mitoma 7 - pace
Ferguson 6

Undav - gets 2 for that yellow
Encisco - 1 (dreadful. Nearly tackled Welbeck too)

 

[Flagship]

Steele 7 no mistakes
Gross 4
Van Hecke 7 good second half
Dunk 3 hesitant, loose passes
Lamptey 6 tried hard
Caicedo 6 worked very hard
Ali mac 5
Buenanotte 3
Sarmiento 3
Mitoma 5
Ferguson 5
Undav 5
Enciso 3

 

[South Oz Seagull]

Maccalister bang average again for the 3rd game running. Going to have to up his game for man city !!

Suspect there's a lot of behind the scenes pressure on the lad coming from family, agents and other clubs to consider a move at the end of the season. Doesn't help one's focus and he's still only young. They should all get off his back and let him relax and play up to his massive potential.

 

[South Oz Seagull]

He's just not the same player without Messi 5-10 yards from him the whole game

Not true. Remember when he came on after the break vs Middlesbrough having not played since the World Cup? Sheer, unadulterated brilliance.

 

[slimes]

Messi is out of contract In the summer.. good signing for us if lallana is still injured.

You’ve just made that whole story up !

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Caceido was the best player on the pitch by a country mile. Bouanotte was a disappointment albeit better than enciso who had a shocker.

Take the 3 points and move on.
