Match Ratings Ratings vs Everton

[DaleMurphy]

I just cannot fathom how we can have players like Kane, Son, Bale, Dele, Ndombele, Lo Celso etc. and have zero creativity.

well one of them played one minute and two didn’t play at all

Kane superb
Lloris toby rodon decent
The rest were woeful
Peh and son escape a lot but they have been shocking for months now

Someone needs to tell Rodon there is VAR in the PL though and that shirt pulling on set pieces is a bad idea these days.

A lot of players are being given a pass right now. Probably rightfully so. However the whole he’ll re-find form or step up under a new manager could mean I’m stuck watching these overrated, past it or bang average footballers for another 12 months. Kane is Kane. Son is good for at least half a season each season. The rest, dear god have we been left with a complete mess of a squad. There’s a couple of younger players that you hope might improve with a new coach but it’ll take us years shifting some of the shit we’ve bought and players we’ve hung onto too long.

Reg and Ndom were correctly taken off. Both had stinkers.

I'd consider selling Ndombele as part of the rebuild. He goes missing quite a bit and his influence is in small spurts. hopefully I'm too hasty and a new manager will bring the best out of him. But in terms of getting funds as things stand I'd sell him.

Agreed. As things stand he's been an unsuccessful buy. Ndom might improve under a new manager, but he's had two and been here two years so that's more of a hope than expectation.

Hugo couldn't do much about the goals, though it always annoys me how he tends to go the wrong way for penalties. He doesn't wait for the opponent to make the first move, he just decides where he dives and if the shot goes his way he might save it.

The way Dier completely failed to get anywhere near Coleman for the cross that assisted 2-1 was just painful and dreadful. Other than that blip he was decent.

Reguilon, Sissoko and Ndombele had terrible games. Reggie's had three stinkers in a row post international break which is very worrying.

Son and Kane just need to get / be allowed to get closer to goal. Stats like this show exactly where the problem lies, we only scored last night because of how clinical Kane is when a screwup lands at his feet.



Bottom line is we have a squad that has to be playing front foot football, and we're not playing that way at all. Mourinho can say all he wants that he isn't telling the players to drop deep and concede possession but if his message isn't getting through it's as bad, if not worse, as his message being wrong.

lol These ratings threads are pointless these days, I find it difficult enough to really evaluate anyone under these circumstances, shite tactics, no direction, low confidence - the majority of our players are gonna look shite.

So a lot like the last 18months under Poch then

 

[Gilzean at the near post]

MoM Kane - Great finishing
Lamela made a huge difference and drove the team forwards when he came on

Everyone else hampered by the team tactics and formation

Pretty much although I'd say the last few months under Poch was when we started to look clueless

 

[mumfordspur]

So a lot like the last 18months under Poch then

Poch has long gone pal & taken those Top 4 finishes with him

 

[mumfordspur]

Lloris & Kane 7/8
Reguilon 3
Rodon/Toby 6
oh I give up - pointless
