While that is the case, neither Graham Potter or Crystal Palace involved in anything yesterday so maybe its not entirely relevant.Just like Potter failed to ever beat Palace.

I was just commenting on someone who said Roberto would have been kicking water bottles around after 20 minutes. Change of tact on the touchline clearly workedThe thread isn’t about de Zerbi
You can't argue with being involved in all 3 goals, scoring one, and a fantastic assist. For me, he was MoMWelbz to make an appearance in the inaugural 'Troy's Team Of The Week'?
That wouldn't have stopped GC from choosing another player from a 'big' club instead...You can't argywith being involved in all 3 goals, scoring one, and a fantastic assist. For me, he was MoM
Crooks would have probably picked Pedro for hitting the post with a snap shot, but then spent the whole section explaining that Pedro needs to watch how clever and intelligent Welbeck is at his runs, shooting and his great passing to bring players into the action.That wouldn't have stopped GC from choosing another player from a 'big' club instead...
when everyone is fit and ready.
The role of a full back has changed vastly ,there are a number of shorter full backs who were world class Ashley Cole comes to mind along with many others a similar size to Jack .I have met Jack Hinshelwood and it is quite surprising how much bigger he looks than when on the pitch.I do worry about Jack a bit, all well and good being versatile but probably does need to try and nail down one position.
In the youth teams where did he play? He feels a bit to slight to me to be a fullback
Whatever, it's great to have him (Hinsh) and Mitoma back. Pair were sorely missed
I’m happy for you not to be arsed. A pleasant surprise.Well, despite all these horrific terrible performances, we kept a clean sheet and limited them to 1 shot on goal.
I suggest people add their own player ratings. Happy to talk football and argue for my points, but really can't be arsed if the level is going to be "Milner was a 1 in first half" or "player X couldn't find a single pass/win a single duel" pre-school stuff.
That pass that failed to find Milner in the first half , leading to a VH and Milner row and almost leading to an Everton goal…..whose fault?Van Hecke had a horrific first 20mins also. Some missed passes that should have resulted in us going a goal down. He looked like the player he was against Newcastle away in one of his first starts for us. Awful.
However, his last 70mins was fine. But he was not an ‘8’.
I would say this is a bit more accurate than OP. It's the sort of game where if we had a bad result everyone would be giving 2s and 3s, but the result papered over the performance somewhat.Steele 7 deserves some credit for O’Neill miss
Veltman 6 competent
Van Hecke 6 one bad error but otherwise good
Dunk 5 still rusty for me, going off his feet nearly cost us with on-pitch pen decision
Hinshelwood 6 tough day out but battled through
Milner 5 mobility issues alas
Wieffer 4 awful first half
Mitoma 8 our genius, changed the game
Pedro 6 not quite at best but decent post effort
Minteh 9 sensational talent
Welbeck 8 what a performance
Adingra 8 our forgotten man? Still class
Webster 6 solid work
Sarmiento 6 decent cameo
Gilmour 7 smooth as ever
Ayari 7 he looks a different player
