Robert Sanchez 6 or 7 or something - nowt to do
Tariq Lamptey 6 - won a few free kicks, decent defending but could have done more with the amount of ball and space he had
Lewis Dunk 7 - other than a late mistake he was good, wasnt tested too much
Joel Veltman 8 - had a bit more to do than Lewis and did some excellent challenges and interceptions while also frequently going forward
Marc Cucurella 7 - its too bad he isnt half as good with the ball as without it but as usual he worked hard in both directions
Pascal Gross 7 - did well
Alexis Mac Allister 8 - I've got mixed feelings about his "shoot on sight" philosophy but other than that he was brilliant and not for one second did I miss Bissouma
Leandro Trossard 7 - sometimes overcomplicating it, sometimes doing very tidy stuff. Overall one of his better games in recent months and his form seems to be slowly recovering.
Solly March 7 - good old Solly always plays with purpose and intent and doesnt like alibi stuff which unfortunately results in too slow decision making sometimes, but overall he had a good game setting up Cucurella multiple times as well as doing some good crosses
Danny Welbeck 6 - he was ok but post-game reactions on NSC sort of proves that the best way to avoid critisism is to hide for large parts of the game. Not bad but with 25+ Brighton crosses I'd expect him to get the head on one or two.
Neal Maupay 7 - the penalty miss was dross stuff, a keeper save is acceptable but I hate when penalty takers put it over the bar. Other than that he linked up nicely, found good positions and worked his arse off as usual. IMO a bad decision to sub him.
Subs all played too little but Sarmiento looked good while Mwepu looked lost
