[Albion] Player ratings v Palace

[Doonhamer7]

Watched the midfield yesterday
Mac - 8 looked really good when he took over midfield from Lallana, never saw him as a CM until yesterday but maybe he could be running the show, really willing to get stuck in.
Lallana 8 - you only noticed how good he is when he isn’t playing - hope it’s a minor injury and he is back on Tuesday
Moder 7.5 starting to look really classy, very comfortable on ball in tight positions
Gross - forget penalty - 5 something not right with him yesterday - just don’t look like he wanted to be in the game, I know he is slow but he wasn’t even making effort. Very surprised he came out for second half

 

[The Fits]

Not when Caciedo starts, has looked impressive when I’ve seen him, but admittedly not PL matches.

I think that’s a bit harsh on Moder. The crossbar effort was a delicious bit of skill that I suspect most wouldn’t have even tried let alone almost scored with. Technically he is a supremely gifted player. Goals will come for him.

Think Mac has shown signs all season he is a legit CM rather than a number 10 (which he also excels at).

I think Tariq is pretty fit. Palace had 2 very fast defenders onto him as soon as he got the ball.

Or maybe he is doing what he is being coached to do ?

He's being coached into being a timid version? Half the player

[Uh_huh_him]

Sanchez -6.5 Little to do - but did it well. No chance with the goal

Burn 7.5 - Absolute revelation in his preferred position. Very good again
Webster 7 - Strong performance. Good to have him back.
Joel 7- The usual assured performance from him.
Cucurella 7 - Decent as always
Moder 8 - Very good performance from him. Lively all game
Mac A 8.5 - Superb. Very physical all game. Got right in to them, won the ball back several times. The boy has adapted to English football and is going from strength to strength.
Gross 5 - I hate to say it, put time is up for this legend. Not even breaking out the turn these days. The pen? well let's not go there.
Lallana - 6.5 Decent while he was on. Did the job required of him.
Tross 6.5 - Typically failed to score a chance which was miles easier than the one he has buried this season. But Decent overall.
Maupay 7 - Welbeck would have buried his cross if Andersen hadn't. Always a nuisance, we play so much better with him.

Lamptey 6.5 - Nice play, but Guehi did enough to keep him from hurting them.
Solly 6.5 - A couple of decent crosses and a woeful shot. Took his man on consistently.
Welbz - 6.5 - It will be good to have him and Maups on the field for longer periods.

 

[Weststander]

Sanchez 7.5 vital save from Webster’s? almost point blank attempt on our goal, unflappable in our passing game when closed down.

Veltman 8
Burn 8
Webster 8
Cucurella 9 MOTM

Gross 6
Moder 8.5 - creative & a nightmare for Hughes.
Lallana 7
Trossard 7.5 - shadowed by 2 opponents, but they couldn’t maintain it.
Mac Allister 8.5 - creative & a good job on Alice Band.

Maupay 7

Tariq 8 - marked by 2 or 3 players. Poetry in motion.
Solly 7 - liked his cameo plus that stunning cross.
Welbeck 6

Potter 8 - personally, I’d rather Gross didn’t start. But orchestrated us bossing the game, subs hit the right note.

Has Sue Gray given her ratings yet, I’ll wait for her opinions before I comment.

Apparently Gross has told Sue Gray that he was at the Penalty Spot, but definitely didn't take one with the intention of scoring

Sanchez was a long way from his near post before the cross went in for his goal. Not sure if that was a misjudgment, or intended to try and close down the attacker. But it meant he couldn’t get near Gallagher’s shot.
Thoughts?

I think that’s a bit harsh on Moder. The crossbar effort was a delicious bit of skill that I suspect most wouldn’t have even tried let alone almost scored with. Technically he is a supremely gifted player. Goals will come for him.

The crossbar was a half chance, I would expect most players to try that, so I disagree from that perspective. He executed it well, but was unlucky.

The one on one was presentable and he seems to miss one a game at the moment - I expected him to finish that.

However, it is positive he at least gets in the positions and as you say hopefully goals will come….

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Mainly solid performances across the starting 11. McAllister, Moder and Webster caught my eye. Trossard seems to have gone down a notch but not surprising as he was outstanding autumn time.

 

[Poppett63]

I think we may the RWB we need, Chariots Offiah looked the real deal last week but ideally a bit longer with Lamptey would be nice

 

[Shooting Star]

I call Cucurella The Sheepdog. He doesn't leave the opposition alone - ever! Easily player of the season so far. 8/10 every game.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Was trossard on the pitch?

Full credit to the recruitment team who found and signed him - before 'bigger clubs' came in for him, presumably.

 

[Poppett63]

Was trossard on the pitch?

Yes, he was superb

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Yes, he was superb

HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahHhHhHhahahhhhahhahahahahahaha

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

Yes, he was superb

ohhhh, I wouldn't go that far. I remember saying at the game 'is this one of his anonymous games?"

But I agree with the posters who've said Cucurella. He was excellent.
