[Albion] Player ratings

[amexer]

Ryan 6 ok

Bong 3 Very poor Terrible defending for penalty Was lucky to to not give another away when he repeated again later. Can accept been out jumped but once when they had a free header he didnt even bother to jump
Duffy 7 Distribution not great but got penalty and scored
Monyoya 4 Poor so many times just dived in and player went past
Stevens 6 Like always just does a job without really creating
Propper 3 Dreadfull. Gave ball away so often including for first goal. It was easier to look better in 2nd half when we were dominating. It was when we are under cosh you want your midfielders to contribute
Bissouma 6 Pace and agression of game seems to so often to leave him looking lost. However we have cried out for a midfielder with skill that can go forward and hopefully he is our man for future.
March 3 Cannot understand how he has started every game.
Murray 6 His style of game is reliant 100% on service of others. If this is not supplied he can just do what he is very good at and make himself a nuisance.
Knockhaert 6 Always tried to make something happen
Subs not on long enough. Comments on Locadia very harsh for how long he was on and keeper did make a great save from him

Ryan - 6 Great save from the free kick, but some shocking kicking.
Montoya - 5 Poorest I've seen from him so far. Redmond had the beating of him most of the game.
Dunk - 6 Still doesn't look at his best, we really didn't need to rush him back after injury
Duffy - 7 Great goal and best defender on the pitch, gave the ball away too much in the first half.
Bong - 4 Poor tackle for the penalty, shocking moment to not even jump to challenge for a cross in the first half.
Stephens 6 - Poor first half, lot better second
Propper 5 - May as well have been wearing a red and white shirt in the first half, thankfully a lot better in the second half.
Knockeart 8 - MOM from an Albion point of view, grabbed the second half by the scruff of the neck and tried to make things happen.
March 6 - Got into good positions and then let himself down with his final ball.
Bissouma 6 - There is a player in there but he needs to calm down and stop trying so hard and let things happen naturally. Couple of times he kept the ball and then lost it when passing it earlier would have been the better option.
Murray 8 - Tireless running for the team again.

Subs

Jahanbakhsh 6 - Linked up well and showed some bright moments, good running too. I think he deserves to start against Spurs in place of March.
Locadia 3 - Shocking, managed to tackle himself twice, the one as he ran through was awful when there were two players well placed for a pass. Showed no ability to control the ball, 50p head, 50p chest.

Pretty good summary, would probably give Duffy a higher mark though - cleared out everything with his head as usual and made one great block on the line too. Looks to have worked on his finishing - actually headed the ball downwards. Locadia, despite the comedy moment, was unlucky not to score - superb save by McCarthy - such a shame, might have done wonders for his confidence which looks shot. Bong's passing and crossing was, as usual, crap - add the pen and first goal (plus one other occasion in the first half when he totally lost a man) probably the worst he's played. .

Ryan 5.5 - Did as expected, distribution wasn't great at times
Montoya 6 - Gave Redmond too much space first half but was great otherwise, most of the play was down Bong's side so
Duffy 7.5 - Was solid
Dunk 5 - Looks a bit off the pace still, lost a few headers to Long too
Bong 3.5 - Pretty bad, crossing is awful and sloppy penalty.
AK 8 - Really good performance by him
Stephens 5 - Shit first half
Propper 4 - One of the worst first half performances ever but luckily he got a little better second half
March 6.5 - did well IMO
Bissouma 5 - Gave away the ball too much
Murray 7.5 - Had no service all game.

Interesting to read nobody thought Dunk was good and some surprisingly low ratings for Duffy. Other than Knockaert I thought our centre backs were our best two players, especially Duffy who was superb. Yes we conceded two, but they were from 35 yards and the penalty spot. Not much your central defenders can do about either.

Dunk got skinned for the second goal so yes he could have done something
