Ryan -5 good save towards the end but distribution was poor
Montoya -5 had a hard evening up against Redmond and sold himself too much going in for challenges
Duffy -7 couple of trademark diving clearances , poor back pass but got on the scoresheet
Dunk -5 poor by his standards , no diagonal balls
Bong - 4 gave away the penalty and didn't challenge to give Saints winger a free header
Knockaert -8 MOTM our most creative player , could have played Solly in though
Stephens -4 really poor game from him , passing was terrible
Propper - 5 got bossed by saints midfielders
March -5 didn't offer much going forward , look before you cross it ??
Bissouma -4 poor performance, was wasteful and didn't get up to support Murray
Murray -7 calm for the penalty, didn't get any service
Locadia -4 that stepping on the ball
AJ - 6 looked promising , half chance nearly went in
These for me
Plus
Standing low in the stand gave me a chance to see Stephens at pitch level and I cannot believe his passing forwards. It is frightening. He is so out of touch and a shadow of the player that finished last season. Typically the one position that we have no replacement for.
Has Dunk come back too early from injury because he really doesn't look himself?
March shows glimpses of his true potential which makes the rest of his game so frustrating.
Why are we starting games so poorly? The key to our performances is tempo. Without it we are a very poor side. It's that easy.
