[Albion] Player ratings vs Liverpool (a)

[Machiavelli]

Bart 7 -- one amazing late save from Salah, wasn't very good for their disallowed goal, gave the ball away a few times too many but Liverpool's intensity imposed that on us
Veltman 5 -- made to look rather ordinary
JPvH 8 -- some good stuff both defensively and on the ball
Dunk 7 -- solid stuff
Pervis 5.5 -- did well enough in the circumstances, but tough job when you've got Salah and Bradley both coming at you
Baleba 8 -- tired towards the end, but immense prior to that
Gross 7 -- solid enough
Lamptey 4
Moder 8 -- managed to match their intensity, got around, broke things up
Adingra 6 -- caused serious damage early on, but Quansah soon snuffed him out
Welbeck 7 -- nice finish, kept going, caused them problems, but was too fond of the side netting after his goal

Buonanotte 6
Lallana 5
Ferguson and Barco n/a

Ali Mac 9.5 MotM -- what a player, the two touches to set up their winner were sublime. At the moment, looks like we misread things and he's a better player than Caicedo -- playing at a well-run club might have something to do with that

 

[Diablo]

Bit mean IMO playing against top of the league losing 2-1.

What did we misread ? We clearly did a deal with Mac when he signed the new contract before the World Cup…….and I don’t think we expected wanted to sell Caicedo until Boehly lost his marbles.

Things started to happen when Lallana came on

They usually do……wish he was 5 years younger and with us.

I look forward to @dwayne ‘s Ali Mac rating.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Bart 8 -- excellent
Veltman 6 -- errors
JPvH 8 --
Dunk 9 -- immense
Pervis 6 -- OK
Baleba 8 -- Very good
Gross 8 -- did his turn
Lamptey 6 --- a little wesk
Moder 7 -- generally good
Adingra 8 -- dangerous
Welbeck 8 -- A good performance

Subs, all 6 except

Facu 8
Ginger boy 5 - but he will improve

I think the consensus (myself included) was that Caicedo was (and will be) a better player than Ali Mac.
Agree with all your points.

Accurate comment. Many, many posters said Caicedo was superior to Mac, some were derogitory that Mac had no pace and would flop, that only the brilliance of Messi got him a WC medal.

But others including me thought Mac was incredible in the WC and for us, the complete player.

I look forward to @dwayne ‘s Ali Mac rating.

His point has always been that most Reds don't rate Ali Mac.

“Absolute star. Runs the show in the midfield, has to be in the conversation for player of the season.”

I will love to see the comments of the players they do rate!

Had mac gone to Chelsea and caicedo Liverpool, we'd be seeing something very different in my view

Tough crowd!

If you plan on rating Jesus' performance over Easter, my advice is wait till tomorrow before posting your score

Never misread. AliMac is a (key/influential) World Cup Winner with Brighton and was imho a complete footballer. HUGE miss and virtually impossible to fill despite Gilmour’s efforts.

Yep, how do you run down the best player on the pitch?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

He’s only 25 as well. I wonder what he’ll be like in 2,3,5 years time?
