[Albion] Player ratings vs Dirty (h)

[Machiavelli]

Sanchez 7 -- some good claims, distribution good apart from one
Veltman 7.5 -- consistent
Dunk 7.5 -- bossed it
Webster 8 -- one or two errors, but so many tackles, blocks, etc, long passing in evidence, and even fitted in an impressive ball carry
Estipunan 7.5 -- impressive debut, another outstanding athlete, quick in the tackle, interception, etc
Caicedo 7.5 -- wonderful
Ali Mac 7.5 -- keeps things ticking over
Gross 8.5 MotM -- can't stop scoring, really impressive all-round play
March 7.5 -- he's having such a good season, does everything brilliantly apart from ...
Trossard 6 -- not much worked out for him today, first off day for a while
Welbeck 7 -- led the line so well, yet again

Mitoma 7 -- all his cameos have been mightily impressive, thought he'd struggle in the PL, but he's settled in so well
Mwepu 7.5 -- excellent harassing
Colwill 7 -- also impressive
van Hecke n/a

Never heard of that ref before, but thought he had a good game, despite what that irritating bell-end says. Must say, that Aaronson looks a fine signing. Leeds' passing is dreadful though.

 

[albionalbino]

Solid 7's all-round except Caicedo and Dunk... 8's.

 

[Weststander]

Sanchez 9 - immense as they pushed for goals at the end of each half. Felt like he bravely stopped a couple of goals when they thought it was just a tap in, caught everything.

Veltman 9 - supreme.
Dunk 9 - the boss.
Webster 7.5 - mostly solid, should’ve buried two headers.
Estipunan 8 - snuffed out danger, a show off, held on to the ball too long but he’s only a kid.

Caicedo 8 - simply Caicedo.
Ali Mac 8.5 ran CM.
Gross 8.5 - measured, the man when the moment came.
March 8.
Trossard 6 - afraid to shoot with his left today, allowing blocks and Dirty to get numbers back.

Welbeck 7 - worked his socks off, selfless.

Mitoma 7.
Mwepu 6.
Colwill 6.
van Hecke 6.

Agree apart from March 6 he can't keep missing gilt edge chances, the rest of his game he is finally showing how good he can be and not hiding behind his defender.

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Sanchez - 7 - Little to do, but took a couple of claims nicely
Veltman - 8 - Ridiculous consistency. Solid as
Dunk - 8 - Untroubled defending. Though his long passing range wasn't quite there, but the passing is the bonus
Webster - 7 - Bit of a mixed bag. One or two lovely passes but one or two loose ones.
Estupinan - 7 - A massive mixed bag. Wonderful individual skill on occasion and overlapped very nicely. Though hideously caught out of position towards the end of the first half and a braindead weaker foot pass across his back line which got him hooked off. Not a guaranteed starter yet.
March - 7 - Another solid display. A real manager's player, glad to hear the obvious support there is for him. No need to say anything more
Caicedo - 9 - MOM - I didn't think i'd see a player who can get across the ground to get his leg round to win a ball as effectively as Bissouma did for years. Happily I was wrong. Incredible talent. I'm not ruling out a ridiculous bid in the next week.
MacAllister - 9 - Class player. Controlled the tempo beautifully. Should be a starter for Argentina in that role.
Gross - 9 - Dripping with quality. Proper end product. What a season he's having.
Trossard - 6 - Not his game today, some ropey decision making with his first half chances
Welbeck - 9 - Played for his team mates all afternoon and was a real handful for the opposition backline. I'd like to see him getting more chances

Mitoma - 6 - We didn't give him the chance to get in behind on the counter as much as I would have liked
Lamptey - 6 - We didn't give him the chance to get in behind on the counter as much as I would have liked
Mwepu - 6 - Demostrated his versatility once more but didn't get involved that much
Colwill - 7 - Only a couple of touches, but defended properly which was what was required
Van Hecke - n/a - not sure he touched it

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Sanchez 7.5 Not a lot to do but what he had to, he did impeccably, including claiming a cross 15 yards from his goal to relieve some of the late pressure.

Veltman 8.5 Excellent.
Dunk 8 almost as good as Veltman
Webster 8 almost as good as Veltman

March 7 A solid, industrious performance. Would have been an 8 except for you know what.
Caicedo 7.5 bloody hell. What a future he has.
Ally Mac 8 Quality.
Estupian 7.A very promising first start in English football. So much to be positive about especially once he's up to speed with the pace of the league. The casual mistakes will be eradicated and then he'll be an outstanding addition.

Trossard 6 not his day, although I believe it was his ball for the goal.
Gross 8.5 He'snot bad is he?
Welbeck 7.5 An industrious and decent centre forward display.

Pretty much how I saw it. Would rate Colwill slightly higher as he brought a bit of calm when we were under pressure. Our Ali Mac/Moises midfield combo gets better by the game, they are both superb, and already have a brilliant understanding.

I agree, when Mac A joins attacks, Caicedo covers and vice versa.

Double pivot, innit

Double pivot, innit

Marsch couldn’t handle it

 

[Bodian]

Trossard had an off-day decision-wise, but still claims the assist.
Saw Van Hecke came on - but not sure he actually touched the ball?
Thought Sanchez was excellent - a couple of great claims when they began to look a bit dangerous.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

6 - average

Sanchez - 7
Veltman - 7
Dunk - 8
Webster - 6 - poor first half, better in second
Estipunan - 7 - tired
Caciedo - 7
MacAllister - 8
March - 6 - wasteful
Gross - 7
Trossard - 6
Welbeck - 7

Mwepu - 6 - no positional discipline
Mitoma - 6
Lamptey - 6
Colwill - 6

 

[pure_white]

Welbeck was 9.5 easily and if southgate knew what he was doing Danny would be off the Quatar

 

[Wardy's twin]

Mitoma played very well when he came on , some great defensive work getting his foot in to break up attacks.

Think his defensive work is underrated.

 

[amexer]

Sanchez 7 No saves and clean sheet
Veltman 7 So consistent
Dunk 8 Very good
Webster 6 Appreciate main job is defending but didnt even get 2 easy chances on target.
Estipunan 6 good 1st half but very poor 2nd. So lucky he didnt cost us a goal.
MacAllister 6 Doing a decent job but we do miss Bissouma winning ball and driving us forward
Gross 8 Just a very good pro and marked up one after seeing the fantastic pass to Solly
Caciedo 7 Very good 1st half but lost composure in 2nd
March 6 Good performance if playing away with good chasing back and defending. Need far more in attacking half at home
Trossard 7 After those misses fortunate to get 7 but assist and always likely to make things happen
Welbeck 8 Upped his score after watching game again. The way he stays on his feet when holding ball up is a lesson to all young forwards playing that role.
