[Albion] Player ratings - Southampton away

[HalfaSeatOn]

A lot of below average performances so thank goodness for Lallana’s 9/10.
I’d give Zeqiri an 8 for his 2nd half performance.
Working hard is the least to be expected at PL level

Sanchez 7 Did everything asked and pleased didnt come out for late outswinging corner
Veltman 6 Defended ok but very poor effort in defending cross for goal
White 7 Game like this sod the attacking just defend well and he did
Dunk 8 Could say should have been nearer Evans but him scoring more then made up for it
Burn 5 One plus was ball to Gross but such a poor defender out wide.
Bissouma 6 Maybe opposition players are getting closer to him for not long ago all moves went through him. Not happening now.
However not much went through central area in 2nd half so think he contributed more then i noticed
Gross 6 Thought was so poor in 1st half may have been taken off. However another who must take credit for stopping them in 2nd
half.
Lalana 8 Such an important part of game after we took lead and it was in this period he excelled
Trossard 7 Maybe looses ball too often but only forward with trickery to beat a defender on spot. Not a winger
Webster 7 Only one since Murray capable of holding and laying off
Maupay 6 Sorry but just seems brainless sometimes. Late break he had was heading for corner and turns back. Other times
when on own seemed to just run with ball until lost it. Not enough attempt to keep possession

I want him back as well, but I think you may have seen a mirage today

[Gabbafella]

Sanchez 7 - couple of decent saves that kept us in it.
Veltman 6 - not his greatest performance but still solid. Possibly could have been stronger for their goal.
White 7 - did very little wrong.
Dunk 8 - what a header!
Burn 5 - some really sloppy play and gets done too often.
Gross 6 - was being dragged out of position, not his fault, but the glaring miss was.
Bissouma 4 - worst player by a mile. Missing for the 90.
Lallana 9 - motm. Some real quality.
Trossard 7 - the change of position saved him. Looked good second half and took his goal really well.
Welbeck 7 - worked hard, great touch to put Trossard through.
Maupay 6 - worked hard but no product again. CMS-esque.
Zeqiri 7 - brilliant. Needs to get a few starts.
Propper N/A
Moder N/A

Potter got lucky with the Burn injury, it worked out well though. Not sure he would've made those choices had Burn been fit. Still, a wins a win, 3 very welcome points.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Maupay chance in first half - set up by Welbeck
Gross chance - Wellbeck
Trossard goal - Wellbeck

I’ll take that averageness all day

On reflection, whilst I’ll keep his score at 7, it was an above average performance.
