[Football] Player ratings vs Everton

[Mellotron]

Ryan - 8.5 - really, really good. Very little wrong. Improving all the time.

Bruno - 7 - hard one to judge. Decent going forward but has to be marked down for daft decision at the end.
Duffy - 9 - MOTM. SO good.
Dunk - 8 - passing a bit wayward but still having an excellent season so far.
Suttner - 7.5 - solid, doesn't take risks. Happy with him there.

Knockaert - 8 - probably his best performance of the season so far. Was pumped up for the game but still used his brain when on the ball. Involved in some very nice play.
Propper - 7.5 - still want him to dominate games a bit more, but his class is unquestionable. More to come.
Stephens - 6.5 - thought he struggled a bit and lost the ball more than any other, but won it back with a few crunchers. Needs Kayal and Sidwell back so he can have a rest at points.
March - 7.5 - always looks confident and dangerous on the ball, sadly not much end product yesterday.

Gross - 7.5 - works his nuts off every week. Love the guy. Didn't stick to him that well first half, better second. Again would be useful to have Baldock to give him some respite in the final 20mins occasionally.
Murray - 7 - struggled at points in a tough job. About 4 offsides in a row didn't help.

Ryan 8 MOTM Had a great game, at least 3 excellent saves, the last one of the double save was better than De Gea's this weekend they are drooling over

Bruno 4 - Embarrassing decision to elbow Calvert - Lewin and absolutely no need, chucked away the points
Duffy 8 - Another great performance, solid and a few knocks as usual, hope he is ok
Dunk 7 - Likewise, a strongman at CB.
Suttner 7 - Getting better it seems

Knockaert 6 - Goal apart, still not doing it for me at PL level .
Propper 7 - A better performance by him.
Stephens 6 - Done what he could, but some of his passing is rubbish.
March 8 - Not as flamboyant as usual, but considering not 100% a fine effort again. Best player this season easily.

Groß 7 - Worked hard again, passing a bit off.
Murray 4 - On borrowed time now, still a useful sub?

Izquierdo 7 - Woke us up like Lua Lua used to, his best so far.
Hunemeier 7 ._ Steady as usual.
Brown - 7 Looked more up for it this time round.

Ryan 9 - Very good for 90 minutes but amazing in injury time. That double save was incredible and so vital (it was gutting to draw, it would have felt so much worse to lose from 1-0 up late on)
Bruno 6 - Good work for our goal but silly for theirs. Almost cost us before their goal when he lost the ball in their half and had to be covered by Hunemeier
Duffy 8 - Excellent again. Brilliant challenge on Rooney and dominant in the air as usual
Dunk 8 - Excellent as always. Also did a crunching tackle on Rooney. Unlucky to be booked. Only issue would be a number of long passes were too long yesterday
Suttner 8 - Best game for us so far. Linked up well with March and played a number of excellent passes down the flank to set him free. Defensively solid
Knockaert 7 - Not quite found his top form but a calm finish for the goal. Worked hard to protect Bruno and hopefully will gain confidence from scoring
Stephens 7 - A real mixed bag. Some great interceptions and good passes let down by giving the ball away carelessly a few times. Partnership with Propper starting to look good
Propper 8 - Good game again. Starting to dominate midfield more, in a way we hoped when we signed him, and looking a good signing
March 7 - Quieter than recent games but still surprised he was taken off rather than Knockaert at the time. Final ball not quite there but did look a threat
Gross 8 - Again quieter than he has been but still has a great pass on him (e.g. setup for Murray chance in the first half). Gets an extra mark for following the ball in to setup Knockaert for the goal
Murray 6 - Nothing quite worked for him and offside frustratingly often but received little support from the referee and looked quite isolated. Needs to score

Subs:

Hunemeier 7 - Looked very solid, including three tackles in a row when Everton looked to be breaking
Izquierdo 7 - Really promising performance. Looked lively from the moment he came on and felt like the momentum changed then
Brown 7 - Not really on long enough to mark but gets a 7 for good link up with Izquierdo and a fantastic shot which could have made it 2-0

Ryan 9 Shame keeper MOM at home but saved us a point in injury time.
Sutner 6 Fair game. Not saying he is better but Bong gets forward more and gets crosses in
Duffy 8 Very good
Dunk 8 Apart from few poor passes very good
Bruno 5 Will never understand why did that. Points hard to come by and that was stupid. Would think he got stick in changing room
Stevens/Propper. 6 Good in defence but no flair to create attacks.
Gross 6 Def lacks pace. Good away player but would prefer Brown in home games
Murray 5 Cannot go down line needs game time. has been training for a month must have been raring to go. There 27 showed how to to hold and shield ball. Doesnt get many decisions because ref knows everytime he tries for freekick. Sorry but think may be one season too many.
March 6 Good defending but sorry but main job is to create upfront. Whats happended to the March that gets by fullback and crosses.
Knockhaert 7 Much better, Best first touch in team and able to make space.
Subs All made a difference
