[Albion] Player ratings v Newcastle.

[DJ NOBO]

Ryan 7. I wince sometimes when shots go in, but fair play , he was solid day and swept up nicely

Webster 7. Looks like what he is - 20 million pounds worth of defender
Dunk 8. Standard quality
Burn. 5. The word is sloppy

Alzate. 8 MOM. - wish he’d screamed for it when maupay fluffed in the first half. Loved his running with the ball
Montoya 4. His distribution and touch were shocking at times
Mooy. 5. Slow in thought and deed
Propper. 6. Classy as usual but absence of attacking threat is a problem
Stephens 7. Contained them well and worked hard
Gross 5. He’s never been great away and was toothless today

Maupay 6. There’s a quality forward in there. Was well marshalled today though

Stephens has been great this season, but he was definitely guilty of playing the easy ball too much today. We desperately needed a bit more bravery on the ball from someone.

 

[B-right-on]

Been said many times, but Stephens has been a revelation this season. Unbelievable turn around imho.

Stephens had a fantastic game, 8/10. He never has and never will be an instinctive creator at PL level. His many duties are carried out very effectively.

I disagree. He's great passer and at his best looking forward.

 

[Weststander]

I disagree. He's great passer and at his best looking forward.

Good at simple passes to creators imho, with the odd assist.

 

[the right footed denilson]

Good at simple passes to creators imho, with the odd assist.

Then we need Gross to play along side him. If you play two in midfield one has to make incisive passes. Propper didn't do that today.

 

[zefarelly]

7.367586 all round

Would have been an 8.637281935 IF we'd scored and won

No one ****ed up, everyone played well, no one scored or really excelled, that would have made the difference.

The intention for over two seasons seems to be Propper’s that man, the player is adored on NSC. Elegant, he looks the part, but does he produce assist after assist? We’ll just have to see if Propper thrives, he’s being given the chance to every single match.

 

[BensGrandad]

Ryan 6 Held every ball well
Webster 7 His best game for us.
Dunk 7.5 His usual coolness and last ditch tackling
Burn 5 Not his day unfortunately
Montoya 6 No where near as bad as many on here have said.
Steohens 9 what a player MOM yet again. Everything good that we do goes thru him.
Propper 7.5 Unsung hero who contributes a lot that goes un noticed
Gross 7 Plenty of effort and awareness .to promote others.
Alzate 8 Good game very impressive.
Mooy 8.5 Was the outlet for Stephens passes in the first half but tired due to lack of match practice.
Maupay 7 Lead the attacks well with thought and movement and could perhaps should have scored.
Subs
Connolly 6 Showed what he can do and Was unlucky not to score
issoumma 6 Got into the game very quick after coming on and it augers well for the future.
Bong 6 Ideal replacement to allow Burn to mark Carroll. Showed that he still has a lot to offer the team.

 

[fleet]

Excited - two U23 players look able to make the step up, and both have goals in them. Maupay looks like he is getting better every game. Bissouma coming back. Stephens looks a real class act. Dunk outstanding, and we have a new quality CB who can play the ball. Personally I don’t think we missed March today. Negatives - Burn was terrible in the second half. Gross and Propper look terrified of missing and would rather do anything than try to score.

 

[The Tactician]

On the train home.

Ryan 8 Some very important stops and nice distribution. Proactive when in possession, very calm.
Montoya 6.5 Not bad, but quality from crosses wasn’t quite there. Saint-Maxim tested him.
Webster 7.5 I like him
Dunk 8 Very good, controlled Joelinton.
Burn 7 Not his best game, but still played well.
Alzate 8.5 Very confident on the ball, technically very astute. Potter’s kind of player.
Stephens 7.5 Strong, confident, calm.
Pröpper 7.5 As above
Groß 6.5 Killer instinct lacking, but linked the attack well.
Maupay 6.5 Thought we lacked a presence in the area today, but he didn’t do badly. Movement good, willing runner.
Mooy 6.5 Same as Groß really, kept the ball well but just lacked the final pass/shot.

Subs:

Connolly 7 Great movement and finish for his chance, so unlucky.
Bissouma 6.5 Good to have him back, nice shot from distance.
Bong 5.5 A few wayward crosses, but was solid enough.

[El Presidente]

Ryan 7: Couple of good saves, distribution excellent
Dunk 8: Managed the defence and blocked whenever required
Webster 7: Looks excellent on the ball, drove forward a lot and is clearly exactly what Potterball is all about
Burn 4: Gave Joelenyn a free header from a corner, two dive in tackles that were late allowing Newcastle to break and dispossessed once in our box. Lovely touches in their half but defensively poor.
Montoya 6: Solid, gave us width and pace going forward
Stephens 8.5 Always wanted the ball and used it superbly
Mooy 7.5 Gave us creativity in the middle
Propper 8: Effortlessly cool
Gross 7: Some good crosses and linked well with rest of midfield
Maupay 6: Greedy when could have passed, ran and chased well
Alzate 7: Totally unfazed, needs to learn to stay onside.

Subs:

Connelly: 7: Unfortunate with the shot cleared off the line, very strong on the ball. Interesting chants to him from the away end
Bong 6: Saw a lot of the ball, perhaps could have done more with it.
Bissouma 6: Wanted the ball all the time, slowed down play when received it
