[Albion] ***PLAYER RATINGS vs SWANSEA***

[One Teddy Maybank]

I can't see one anywhere.

6 = average

Ryan - 7 - important save
Bruno - 6
Bong - 6
Duffy - 8
Dunk - 8
Knockaert - 7 - a bit careless in possession, but good work-rate and great cross for goal.
Stephens - 7
Propper - 7
Izquierdo - 6
Gross - 6
Murray - 7

Hemed - 6
March - 6
Brown - N/A - don't understand why he didn't shoot at the end......


Felt we did okay overall. As team we work so hard in keeping our shape.


Mike Dean, other than his warm-up antic (see different thread), he was actually okay, got a few things wrong, but they all do.......

Spot on.

Murray did a lot more than just the goal. Hustled and bustled, bullied Swansea and played his part in defence. I'd be tempted to give him an 8.

Still think the juries out on Bong. Not sure I saw him complete a pass to Jose! Never seems to be able to move the ball to him quick enough. Dithers and any space Jose has is closed down.

Bong has been solid for me since he came in. First choice left back.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Knockaert - 7 - a bit careless in possession, but good work-rate and great cross for goal.

"a bit careless in possession" is like saying Leon Best didn't always give 100%, just 95%. Constantly lost the ball.

Imho Bong has been great, just wish he had a touch more pace. Solid though.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Ryan an 8 for me, was excellent out there, exuding confidence and pull out a world call save

Ryan - 7
Bruno - 6

Knockaert - 7

Constantly is a bit strong, his chasing back was immense yesterday, the cross was a peach......

For me, his form is improving, it’s just the decision making which isn’t the best.

I think solid or steady is about right with Bong, no better or worse than Suttner.

Gives us a bit more going forward in my opinion, positioning is also very very good (not saying Suttner's isn't of course).

[Cadiz Seagull]

i thought Gross had an off game by his own high standards recently

 

[Wellesley]

I thought Bong had an excellent game. One of ourrvstand out players in my opinion.

 

[Hammer15]

Any more for any more?

People shouldn't be too harsh on Knocky - He is being asked to play a type of game ''Alien'' to him ie : Passing the ball.

Propper was absolutely immense

 

[BensGrandad]

I kniow that it has been mentioned many times but shouldnt we now try leaving IZQUIERDO on the halfway line when defending a corner as he wont win a header but his tremendous pace would cause great problems if the ball was released to him quickly.

It would also mean at least two of their defenders would have to remain back rather than them all pushing forward

That is my thinking and due to his electric pace they couldnt afford to stand next to him, If he was on the spot they, or at least one, would need to be on the edge of the circle which would give him space rather than right up tight on him.
