[Albion] Player ratings - Watford (H)

[One Teddy Maybank]

Stephens 7,5 Did what we know he can do well commanded the midfield and must be POTS so far.
a

Not the rating, which I disagree with but POTS, I really think he’s struggling to adjust.

POTS I would have said Dunk, Duffy, Bruno, Gross, Ryan and Propper are all ahead of him.

Re Ryan, punching the ball is a viable tactic for goalkeepers, and on the one occasion he did it, he did it well and got good distance. Furthermore, punching was the right decision in that situation due to the pressure he was under. Maybe you weren’t trying to criticise him for it, but that’s how it reads and I think it’s harsh if meant that way.

I am not criticizing him as I thought that he went to catch it and realized that it was too high so it was a hurried punch which didnt make much distance and he could have come unstuck.

No no you're all wrong "GM would have had a field day and had the same crosses come in against Burnley we would have 2 more points.". Jesus Freakin Wept.

Quite.

I can’t understand the negativity towards Hemed.

I disagree as I think at the moment there are 3 possibles behind him being Ryan Propper and Dunk but it is all about opinions and how we each see the game.

No prizes for guessing who wrote that, on 'marmite' (probably in Marmite as well)

I don't quite see it like that, this isn't a 'he's either a world beater or shitehouse' situation.

This is 'but Tomer isn't quick enough'.

Yes, and?

He isn't lots of things, he isn't a Irish, he isn't an albino, he isn't a super model, are we supposed to be down on Tomer because he isn't a halibut?

Stick the boot into those that didn't buy a quick striker, not the striker who wasn't quick long before he was bought, and will never be quick now.

Feels similar to me.

The quick enough thing shouldn’t be an issue, as his movement and touch is so clever.......

Oh well - have a good Christmas Stat...... [emoji2]

Ryan 7
Bruno 6
Goldson 8
Dunk 7.5
Suttner 8
Knockaert 7
Stephens 5
Propper 6
March 5
Groß 7
Hemed 6

Murray 6
Kayal 7.5
Izquierdo N/A

Can't decide MOTM between Goldson and Suttner

 

[maffew]

Ryan - 7 - very little to do
Bruno - 7 - comfortable
Dunk - 8 - assured throughout, so comfortable on the ball
Goldson - 9 - fantastic. You would never have realised it was his first Premier League game. Even a threat at set pieces
Suttner - 8 - supported March soperbly. some great balls into the box
Stephens - 7 - a really solid, if unspectacular performance
Propper - 7 - similar to Stephens. Got forward more today
Knockeart - 7 - hit and miss, but always willing, always a threat. Disappointing that the fans seemed to get on his back in the first half
March - 6 - very quiet in the first half, poor in the second but grew in confidence and finished the game strongly
Hemed - 6 - a busy performance, but let down by his finishing and decision making
Gros - 8 - everywhere again. Deserved his goal

Subs n/a

Agree with almost all of that I'd stick Solly up a score or 2 though

 

[chimneys]

We are in a thread about the performance of players, so if we cannot discuss there performance here, where else can we do it? It's not singling out, we are rating and talking about all the players. You may think I am blinkered if I think March was poor, but at the same time I struggle to understand how you think he played well. But I respect your opinion, of course. March received a lot of the ball on the left, that was obvious, but he made very poor use with the ball when he had it and often gifted it back to Watford. He had one good piece of skill and a good ball in the first half, and another in the second. Didn't offer much else going forward.

On the other hand, Goldson was absolutely amazing.

This with bells on and the vast majority on here have agreed with you re Solly.

Ryan 8
Bruno 7
Goldson 8
Dunk 8
Suttner 8 MoM. Lovely whipped in crosses
Knockaert 6
Propper 8
Stephens 8
March 5
Gross 8
Hemed 7 but can never fault his work ethic

But Watford made us look good too - they were dreadful

[amexer]

Ryan 7 Just forget the fumble and kick out straight to thee keeper
Suttner 7 Good game
Goldson 8 Very good
Dunk Very good
Bruno 7 Good game never put under pressure
Propper 7 Tidy
Stevens 7 OK Gone are days when midfield gets forward Too busy with defensive duties
Gross 7 OK and good goal.Not a great fan but with scoring/assist record cant criticise
Knockhaert 7 Always main threat. Even though kept ball too long sometimes good to see him back to taking players on rather then just crossing
Hemed 4 Thought he was very poor and contributed very little. Appreciate cant play every game but Murray a far better player.
March 4 Very poor. looked out of his depth. Unbelievable when didn't look up and put across in to five defenders with no Brighton player near. Also when he broke free in great position to cross but as ball was on right foot didn't know what to do.

 

[Murray 17]

Hi Glenn

Well, if I don't stick up for myself, who will? [emoji23]

 

[blockhseagull]

Murray might well be a better goal scorer than Hemed.

However, Murray is drastically short on form and has offered very little for 4-5 games.

I do think we look a better side with Hemed in the starting 11 at the moment. I’m sure Glenn will come good again and claim back his place but right now Hemed gets the nod. Also think Groß looks better with a striker who has more movement

and yet 2 posts up we have "Thought he was very poor and contributed very little. Appreciate cant play every game but Murray a far better player".

Even after Murray's only contribution yesterday was getting caught off-side.
You're also right when you say Gross looked so much better playing with Tomer.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I can't believe March is getting so much criticism. We have 2 strikers who - despite good service - are not scoring. I have feeling if we bring in a striker who can convert the chances that March - and Knocky - are making then this will die down.

At one point yesterday March had the ball ready to cross and there were 5 Watford defenders versus 1 Albion players, it's not Solly 's fault the strikers are slow and the midfield doesn't break forward.

Ryan 6
Bruno 7
Goldson 9(MotM)
Dunk 8

Could have easily been a game we won 4-0.
