Player Ratings vs Burnley (H)

[Mo Gosfield]

He was poor. He plays better with Orlandi in the team. He will improve though.

I am not sure that Spanish Dave is going to be suited to our new system. He lacks any pace and was far more suited to Gus's ' slowly slowly catch a monkey ' style. Oscar is looking to move the ball around much more quickly and break with pace. I agree that he links well with Orlandi, so will wait for his return to the team before passing final judgement.
Good penalty taker, though, so does need to feature.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

I wish Oscar had brought March on instead of Kazenga who IMO is a shadow of the player who used to terrorise defences. Maybe next time March will get the nod if we need a winger.

'Wind-up' or not KLL has gone down in my estimation regarding the Twitter episode last weekend. However, I think he is simply trying too hard, rather than focusing on what he is good at. I do agree it was a shame Solly wasn't given an opportunity.

He hasn't got a clue in front of goal though! Beautiful pass by Buckley to put him one on one with the goalie. Still that was his only mess up.

What about his header back towards our own goal ??

Did Solly even have the ball at any stage?

I don't recall. I'm pretty sure he closed down one of their defenders while they had the ball, pressuring them.

My mate said 'I bet he doesnt even touch the ball' he then made a tackle and won the ball, so he did touch it. must have been one hell of a tackle to merit a 7 though.

Do you not discount players who get say less than 3 votes?

No, I don't think it's my place to judge the worthiness of a rating, but I try to give perspective now by adding how long they were on the pitch if they didn't play the whole match. One season I did note the number of ratings a player got, maybe I'll do that again if someone has been on less than ten minutes (if someone is on less than ten minutes I don't include them in the "everone X/10" ratings since so few people actually give ratings to players on for such short periods of times and it's not a specific rating to a particular player).
