Didn't help our football to have them camped behind the ball for 90 minutes. Boring fuckers!Yeah, that. Mostly average all round. Expectations are very high

Exactly the kind of game we never won under PotterDidn't help our football to have them camped behind the ball for 90 minutes. Boring fuckers!
De Zerbi has made the same squad believe they can win any game. No more, 'learn and improve'... our time is now!Exactly the kind of game we never won under Potter
It is what it isExactly the kind of game we never won under Potter
Absobloodylutely - it’s a lot tougher than people realise. Hence we created little. But to take that chance was f***ing huge.Exactly the kind of game we never won under Potter
Agree thought Gilmour wasn’t great, poor positionally, which Gross made up for.Fully agree, the man seemed to be everywhere on that pitch and many times had to cover for BG. So pleased he stayed for this season.
In the sense that he couldn't hit the goal even from point-blank rangeI thought Undav looked decent and every inch an Albion striker!
His one touch link up play was good, all things considered, I think he might end up suiting RdZ rather well.
It was funnier in the old days!In the sense that he couldn't hit the goal even from point-blank range
Gross should have been MoM
Agreed.

Sanches 6 Clean sheet but always waiting for a mistake
Lampty 6 ok but his runs into box not there
Dunk 7 usual good game but sometimes struggled when front men held ball up well
Veltman 6 Rare mark below 7 but like above
Pervis 8 Marked up for great goal saving tackle
Mitomma 7 Marked up for goal but not a great game because FB apart from last 5mins played him so well
Gilmore 6 ok for first full game
Gross 5 poor today
March 7 Think we missed his wide play today as Lampty spent most time in attack
Welbeck 5 poor today
Undav 6 Would be aesy to mark down because of nightmare minute but thought was very good after that and could of had 3/4
assists
As I recall, all our best moves included a lovely pass from Pascal in there somewhere. He's a clever 'baller.
MOM was a close run thing for us.
You have to hand it o RDZ. That was ballsy to give all them kids game time at the same time.

Thought Undav was great.
Very harsh, two shots on target and one that hit the post. Chased things and got into good positions. He had a good game imoIn the sense that he couldn't hit the goal even from point-blank range
It is fascinating! I sit in the middle of the North so maybe struggle to appreciate midfield performances as well as someone in the middle West or East due to the view angle? Also I thought that we were immediately more threatening when Caicedo and Sarmiento came on, which may have coloured my view on the effectiveness Gross and Gilmour middle combo...I always find it surprising how we as fans see games differently. For me Gross was everywhere, and involved in almost every good move (and a welcome return of the Gross turn). MoM I thought. So - how are those giving scores having him down so low?
Make allowances for how little game time he has had and what a crucial position he plays in. His through balls were better than Gross today imo. Both Gross and March flattered to deceive today imoAgree thought Gilmour wasn’t great, poor positionally, which Gross made up for.
Thought Undav was great.
Interesting comments re Pervis. So far for me, the top 3 are him Mitoma and March…WSU... near the half way.
Sanchez - 6 had little to do defending but played a major part in giving people heart attacks with the passing out the back
Lamptey - 6 Hard game for him but was ok
Dunk - 8 lynchpin of the team , would like to see him put more balls forward for Mitoma . Defensively very good.
Veltman - 7 Brilliant defender looks like he is 3rd choice after Dunk & Colwill
Estupinan - 8 this guy could be a good bet for POTS
March - 6.5 Lots of effort
Gross - 6 Mr versatile , good contribution
Gilmour - 6 Thought he did pretty well , he can only develop by playing more
Mitoma - 8 we didn't get the ball to him enough
Undav - 6 should have scored on viewing will like to see the replay . Some good touches but not a workhorse
Welbeck - 5 probably weakest player for me today
Subs
Game changed when Caicedo 6.5 & Sarmiento 7 came on , especially the latter be very inventive and probing attacks. Lovely cross for the goal.
