I’d give Maupay an 8 as a midfielder. Our ‘to be’ out of contract players are fizzling out with below average performances. GP needs to bring in players with a bit of hunger.

- Thread starter One Teddy Maybank

Sarmiento is that player…..hopefully getting another chance soon
Lampard, Razor Ruddock, Agustien?

But shirley, the way he headed it with his left foot should get an extra point on his ratings
fair point, makes it worse really though, doesn’t it?

I’m surprised you can draw a comparison with a shot from 18 yards that narrowly missed and one from 4 or 5 straight at the goalie, which makes even less sense.
I would also add that Maupay worked tirelessly throughout, and Welb3ck benefited from being in a two, which gave him that opportunity. Maupay played on his own.
As per your original quote it’s a game of opinions.

I was thinking giving Games to Jennifer Lawrence. Might be one of our Passengers but it would be a Joy to watch.
He was in the exact place where a top flight striker should be, something we often lack.
Sanchez - not at all. I don’t think I’ve joined in the threads this season where he’s beginning to get picked on. Our best keeper by a country mile for years and far, far better than Ryan.
I kept my view on him private, only because it’s not a strong one, which is - last season brilliant, this season not at that level.
Separately, I love his belligerence eg unfazed by Holmesdale drink throwers and he would’ve destroyedMcArthur
I'd agree with this. I think Sanchez is a fantastic 'keeper, but he's in (to me at least) very poor form.
Sanchez - 6
Cucurella - 6
Dunk - 7
Veltman - 7
Lamptey - 6
March - 7
Alzate - 6
Bissouma - 4
Mac Allister - 6.5
Trossard - 4
Maupay - 7

Maupay was a 9 without the ball, a 5 with it.
GP has a decision to make on Trossard, try and play him through this bad patch or bring someone like Moder back in. At the moment it’s like playing with 10 men but we know there is a very good player in there.

Sanchez 4 -- should have seen red within 20 minutes. He's in a bad run of form. Hope it's just a blip
Lamptey 6 -- I don't like him playing at RB, as it limits his qualities. Still some positive stuff
Veltman 5.5 -- also hasn't been great of late
Dunk 6 -- ditto
Cucurella 7 -- form has dipped a little, but from a very high level. We're really missing Webster
March 6 -- some good passages of play, good strength and workrate, but also that frustrating thing of slowing things down and not going for it when opportunities arose
Bissouma 7 -- top driving performance. I don't buy the view that he's lowered his standards
Alzate 5 -- overawed by it, which is a shame because he's been looking back near his best of late
Mac Allister 7 --- some top stuff, calm, creative, quite hard too
Trossard 5 -- was our PotS during 2021, he's been way, way off it in 2022
Maupay 8 MotM -- put himself about, disrupted them, made things happen, but one poorly missed assist
Gross 5
Welbeck 6

Looked very exciting for the u23s on Friday night, when he was eased back in playing the first half. Caicedo was excellent too.

Agree completely.
I really think Caciedo should be given a chance, and hopefully he will.

I'm a bit torn. Thought he looked a bit green and overawed in the Cup game against Spurs. He's exciting though, and both Sarmiento and Caicedo have really encouraging movement and, like Bissouma, are extremely rapid over short distances that help them make and/or evade tackles.
Imagine we wont see Sarmiento in the first team until after the international break, probably needs to get some more U23 time first - after all he was out for 3 months.
Agree Caicedo was excellent and think we'll start to see more of him soon (would probably already be the case if the club didnt have shiteload of central midfielders). Everton were really really bad though (probably the worst U23 side I've seen all season) so it is a little bit difficult to judge.

I am assuming that Caicedo will be warming the bench again on Wednesday, having had a run out for U23s.
I would like to see him at least get 30 minutes on Wednesday.
Because then I assume he'll be off to play in World Cup qualifiers for Ecuador, and then come back too late to be ready against Norwich at the start of April.
