[Albion] Player ratings vs Ajax (a)

[Machiavelli]

Bart 7 -- very good, not much chance to shine with his feet
Veltman 8 -- somewhat under the radar tonight. Very assured
JPvH 9 MotM -- utterly brilliant. Showed Amsterdam who the best Dutch CB is
Dunk 7 -- hope he's back after the break
Dahoud 7 -- kept it ticking, excellent ball to break the lines and run forward for our second
Gross 8 -- here, there and everywhere. Technically and tactically stunning
Adingra 8.5 -- an assist, a brilliant finish, and showed his class
Mitoma 7
Pedro 7
Fati 8 -- a brilliant take, acceleration, touch and finish for the goal, superb set-up for the second, and really showing his class in the EL

Gilmour 7 -- kept it ticking
Igor 9 -- didn't put a foot wrong, very composed
Ferguson 6
Pervis n/a
Baleba 7

Have the finest of nights in Amsterdam all

 

[Weststander]

Probably everyone about 8 for me, except:

JPVH 9
Dunk 9
Mitoma 7 - so wasteful, after excellent movement to lose his young RB tormentor from the Amex.
Ferguson 6 - not right just now.

RDZ 9.5 - made all the right calls with that strong starting 11, didn’t fall into the trap of playing all the slow players at once, expertly worked round the injuries.

Agree with all those. Thought Igor was brilliant coming on after comparatively little game time and fitting in seamlessly.

Agree with all this bar 9 for Fati. His class is the reason we scored 2 goals. Also JP's runs were very good for both.

Neither Pedro or Billy high enough with 7s, they both ran their bollox off, did lot of the ugly stuff, like pressing really well.

 

[smillie's garden]

Agree with all those. Thought Igor was brilliant coming on after comparatively little game time and fitting in seamlessly.

Igor being too cute led to their roll along the goal line, hit both posts chance. Other than that he was very good.

Agree with most but I would drop JPVH 1 and increase Pedro 1. Can’t split MOM between Gross, Pedro, Fati and Adingra.

Pedro was quality.

The movement/pace with Fati and Adingra a nightmare for the Ajax defence.

Indeed the commentary team didn't pick up on that.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Tens all round

I thought it was Igor at the time, but then Pervis went down and people seems to say it was him?

Pretty sure that was Pervis fannying about that nearly lost a goal?

 

[Sheebo]

Fati & Van Hecke the star men for me!

 

[Washie]

That was Pervis

 

[Bridcutt]

Thought Fati and Adingra were fantastic. Thought Van Hecke got bullied a bit first half by Brobbey and we were lucky IMO to get a foul on Van Hecke when Brobbey got him off and countering.

Dahoud was really good as well, created the second goal well

It was definitely Pervis’s mistake, not Igor’s.

Yeah Dahoud definitely not got enough appreciation for that pass, it was wonderful. He’s a lovely player, like you, thought he was very good.

Brobbey looks the real deal, some CF’s such as Mitrovic, are almost unplayable. I thought the initial tactic of JPVH getting tight was fine, it stopped momentum and disrupted Brobbey playing in team mates. RDZ may’ve adjusted mid first half, as we then cut Brobbey’s supply and it was Goodnight Vienna.

I've just watched the highlights, and you are correct, it was Pervis. My mistake, sorry Igor
