  1. His play with his back to goal in the first half was brilliant and a great assist in the second.
  2. Not just a poor manager, also an unlucky one, but them's the breaks.
  3. You could literally have thrown a blanket over the three of them they were so close, and then the problem with Doug is he struggles to find forward passes.
  4. He improved as the game went on, but having a sideways passing midfielder stood between the two centre backs isn't a winning strategy.
  5. I can't think of two more different players. He is the anti Reo-Coker.
  6. Very good until the error.
  7. Motm, but a real mix of very good and very bad.
  8. I'm sure that a lot of the people who rate Luiz so highly do so because of his 'filthy' bits of skill, but impressive as those moments are, they rarely/ever result in anything significant. He obviously has talent in some respects, but I don't think that his skill set translates particularly well to being a major influence on matches. I think most people accept that he has limitations as a defensive player, but presumably many feel that his supposed 'playmaker' abilities compensate for this. But that really is the part that I have an issue with. I think the idea that he is a great passer is largely a myth. He is a sideways passer. He can hit long floaty diagonals when given time, but so can most players. He isn't an incisive passer, there is no penetration to his play. He doesn't have the vision of someone like McGinn. It is in games where we are in control, like the Brentford game, where this becomes more apparent. Would it be different if he was played further forward? I'm not so sure.
  9. Good finish from the tattooed ne'er do well.
  10. Ings managed to look like a square peg in a round hole despite being the central striker.
  11. He still looks very confident in his own ability, which is good to see after playing so little.
  12. Really looks like he is running through treacle at times. Starting to remind me of Jota.

    Motm for me, despite poor final ball.
  14. I love Ash and he is a quality player, but very disappointed to see him starting at LW.
  15. Very good, soft pen for a 50/50 tussle.
  16. He and the rest of the midfield three were very good first half. We were overrun in the second half, but he played well during our rally in the last 15 minutes.
  17. We seem to be moving the ball a lot quicker in possession. Some of our first half play was a joy to watch.
  18. Strangely quiet game today, didn't really do much of anything.
  19. Even if his performances haven't been particularly good lately, him and Konsa is undoubtedly our best CB pairing by a country mile. It doesn't help anyone to keep chopping and changing the central defence, and to drop him with so many other changes today was bizarre.
  20. I thought that up until the last ten Targett did a pretty good job of stopping crosses coming in, he blocked quite a few attacks down that side.
  21. He had a poor game, but even so, he didn't hide and was still trying to make things happen and played his part in the goal.
  22. Brilliant today, that pass to cash was exquisite. Did get a bit concerned when he went 'full-on McGinn' for a few minutes that he might get carded again, but he managed to rein it in.
  23. I love Ash, but he was poor tonight. Getting done for pace (often) is understandable, but he wasn't on his game at all.
  24. Very good tonight. He's a bearded beaver.
