[Albion] Player ratings vs Palace (a)

Machiavelli said:

Ryan 6 -- distribution fine, but he's due multiple penalty saves
Lamptey 7 -- not his best game, but still caused a fair bit of havoc down that side
Webster 7.5 -- been our best CB this season
Dunk 6 -- decent enough, but no complaints for the red
Burn 6.5 -- did OK, one poor cross though ...
March 7 -- ... despite what's said of him, he put in a fair few good crosses
White 7.5 -- did a fine job in that role
Bissouma 7 -- good, up until the final ball/shot
Lallana 7 -- some nice touches
Trossard 6 -- didn't involve himself enough, but looked dangerous on a couple of occasions
Maupay 6 -- lots of positives, but he really should have hit that Lallana pass first time and buried it

Mac Allister 8 Mot1/6M -- really pleased for him, a stunning first touch on the pitch (that free kick), and another one to rescue a well deserved point
Gross 7 -- looks quite good in that role as it makes the most of his passing ability
Connolly 6

Stuart Attwell 1 -- to flag up the number of decisions he got right, and we had to wait until the 93rd minute for it too
Kevin Friend 2 -- at least he didn't rob us with that Batshuyi offside, but how he didn't overturn that 'penalty' is beyond me

Maupay and Trossard 6?!

I must have been watching a different game.

Ryan 6. I wish he’d save a pen.
Lamptey 7. Doubled up on, still drove forward, unfazed by being roughed up by big units.
White 6
Webster 6
Dunk 8. Back to his defensive best. Regarding his moment of madness, I think he saw the glory of scoring a derby winner.
Burn 3. A bit of a wound-up heads gone today for me.
Bissouma 5. Started brilliantly, chaotic after they scored, silly shots from unlikely positions.
Lallana 7.5. Creative quality, always forward thinking, finding team mates effortlessly in tight situations.
March 7.5. Drove us forward, feeding Maupay etc, great ball retention, creative.
Trossard 4. Not at the races.
Maupay 4. Improved in the last 15 minutes, before that so poor at everything including ball control and being statuesque when Lallana, March or Lamptey fed him.

Mac A 7. Thank you sir.
Connolly 4.
Gross 4. Too late to shine.

Agree with most of this. Bissouma a 6 and Connelly looked more of a threat than Mauapay so another 6.

In my opinion Potter got it wrong today. Alzate should have started and White stayed in defence. The team carried Trossard today and Maupay and Burn were not much better. We were too slow at getting a shot away. Welbeck and Zeqiri may not have long to wait to see what they have to offer 20 shots and only 3 on target tells its own story. Although I would like to see Connelly give more of a chance as I think he will eventually be more clinical than Maupay.

Ryan - 6 - Had nothing to do. Worrying that he got beaten at his near post for the offside goal though.

Dunk - 6 - Had a good game despite the red card which loses him a point.
Webster - 7 - Played well. Been our best CB since the restart
Burn - 6 - Few shakey moments but did okay overall.

Lamptey - 7 - Caused trouble but not as effective as he has been previously. No way it was a penalty.
March - 6.5 - His end product lets him down massively. One good cross (which Maupay should have burried) doesn't excuse some really poor efforts, good apart from that.
Bissouma - 8 - Okay, his shooting is all over the place but the amount of work he does is phenominal. Our most important player
White - 7 - 6 for the first half, 8 for the second. Took a while to grow in to the game but was excellent when he did.

Trossard - 5 - Just not his day, nothing came off for him.
Lallana - 7.5 - Same as White but a slightly better first half, grew in to the game massively in the second half. Such good close control and movement
Maupay - 5 - Worked hard and a real nuiscance but missed two brilliant chances which nearly cost us. The one where Lallana put him clean through and he took a touch too many was infuriating.

Subs:

Connolly - 7 - Scares the shit out of teams with his pace and running. Brilliant flick to set-up the goal & should have had a penalty imo.
Mac Allister - 8 - Was a great strike even before the deflection, and some real good set piece deliveries.
Gross - N/A - Not on long enough.

Potter - 8 - Got the subs right.
Officials - 3 - Softest penalty you'll ever see, let their LB stay on after a push right in front of the lino & then didn't give the Connolly penalty despite more contact there than their pen. Useless.
