Putyour ratings in here.
Funny old game. There were times when our lack of ingenuity just let us down. Approach play was good at times and effort could not be faulted. This summer we must add some genuine guile, intelligent craft & creativity. Too many times we run out of ideas against tough sides. Against anyone else the deficiency rarely shows itself. It's really the only difference between us and the top 2/3 sides. We gave a regular CL side a good game tonight. Out possessed and out shot them, in their back yard. Had to go out tonight and my Sky+ fucked up and only taped up to the first half of extra time. so my ratings go till then. Ratings:
Robinson 8 - highest mar for a long time. Did nothing wrong all game.
Chimbonda 6.5 - Worked hard but sold himslef several times needlessly.
Woodgate 8 - Great game.
King 7.5 - Good game until subbed.
Lee 7 - Good game until subbed
Huddlestone 7 - worked hard but a bit disapointing really. Gave te ball away needlessly sometimes and no real outstanding passes.
Jenas 6 - Probably worst game I've seen him have for a while. Maybe injury or differing roles he was given I don't know but he was just not great tonight.
Zokora 7 - Effort and prettycompetant considering he played in about 4 positions.
Malbranque 7.5 - No one puts more effort into a game than this little fella. My only grumble is his final ball/finish sometimes lets him down but he's been playing out of position all season but still gives his all.
Keane 6 - Didn't really contribute much but did run around in that keane way. Games like this you need a bit more.
Berbatov 8.5 - Immense effort. Since Ramos got here he's like a different player. He's still got the touch but the effort he's putting in now is so much better. Effort and ability is the football nirvana for me.
Bent 6 - This bloke is the anithasis of Berbatov. No finesse, no guile. So limited.
Lennon 6 - Bit disapointing really. worked hardish but didn't really scare them enough going forward.
Ohara 6.5 - Did well enough.
Just in case anyone's feeling miffed just imagine how PSV fans are feeling. Outplayed by a side who have never played CL football and they were a kick away from getting what they deserved.
