[Albion] Player ratings vs Wolves (h)

[Machiavelli]

Steele 7.5 -- not much to do, but still pulled off a great save in the first half, and his distribution is up there with the very best of PL gks
Veltman 7 -- doesn't look good for his hamstring
Webster 8.5 -- imperious, the shirt is his for the moment
Dunk 8.5 -- simply brilliant on the ball
Estupinan 7 -- great engine, a little clumsy at times, had a few opportunities to score
Gilmour 9 MotM -- Moises who? Played DeZerbiball with aplomb
Gross 9 -- just outstanding, led the press, kept going until the final whistle yet again, and two sublime finishes
March 7.5 -- solid display
Enciso 9 -- another outrageous talent, can turn on a six pence, two great assists too
Welbeck 8 -- two good finishes, good link up play, some lovely turns in the middle of the park setting up counter-attacks
Undav 8.5 -- slow start but that didn't last long, the goal lifted him, and as much as the crowd were treated by that sublime chip, the favour was returned with his new song

Subs: n/a

 

[Weststander]

Steele 10 - perfect at everything and his distribution is wonderful.

Veltman 8
Webster 9.5
Dunk 9 - back to his best.
Estupinan 8 - at times a marauding centre-forward, he could've scored 4 or 5 . Defensively he had to handle both Neto and Semedo, until we adjusted with Dunk covering.

Gilmour 9.5
Gross 10 MOTM The Kaiser
March 8.5 - returned the love with a good display, including defensive cover when Veltman was caught up field.
Enciso 9.5

Welbeck 9 - masterful, bossed two lumps.
Undav 9 - he arrived at the Albion party!

Subs:
Buonanotte 4 - just couldn't get into it this time imho.
Caicedo 8
Mac A 6 - not at his best in final passes/decision making.
Mitoma 7.5 - destroyed their entire right side, but please stop going to ground in the box.
Ayari 7.5 - looked at home, great pace.



WOLVES:
Kilman, Collins, Nunes - 0

I thought Billy Gilmour was excellent; the bedrock of today's victory was based on his pulling the strings in the first 30 mins. I hope he now gets the match time he deserves. Definitely my MOTM today...

I thought he was great too but who are we leaving out for him? Hes really an Ali Mac so that would be the obvious choice. Doesnt tackle enough for a Caicedo replacement.

 

[Comrade Sam]

Tee hee, 5 nil up and then we bring on a World Cup Winner!

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I'll hold my hands up, I didn't think Enciso was quite up to it when I saw him come on against Villa, BUT what do I know, absolutely stunning out there today.

Gross - MoM for me and Undav 8.

Otherwise agree with these.

WOLVES:

Nailed it! Pascal just gets better and better, 6 years on and still being raved about - what other player has ever done that?

 

[Dick Swiveller]

According to Wiki, Gilmour has played 1 more game for Scotland at Under 15 level to senior side than he has senior league games. Not bad for a MoM contender.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I thought he was great too but who are we leaving out for him? Hes really an Ali Mac so that would be the obvious choice. Doesnt tackle enough for a Caicedo replacement.

Veltman

Gross will go right back

Gilmour has played his way into our team in my view

 

[Goldstone Guy]

Not sure for the next 7 games, but next season is sorted (hopefully Caicedo stays).

 

[Robert Codners Nostrils]

Steele 8.5 Great stops. One flap.

Veltman 8. Solid.
Webster 8.5. Excellent apart from one error at the end.
Dunk 8.5. Not much to do but really looked focused and good moving the ball around the back.
Estupinan 9. Took advantage of not having to do any defensive work. Should really have scored to cap a great performance

March 9. Would loved him to have scored today, but great contributions around the box.
Gilmour 9. Stepped up. Great to see.
Gross 10. Beautiful goals. Awesome all over the pitch. Perfection today.
Enciso 9. So confident. Not always the right decisions, but when you want to get on the ball as often as he does, something good will come of it! 2 assists. Marvelous.

Welbeck 9. Only gripe is that he should have had a hatrick. Also, he is one hell of a player in the air. Perhaps doesn’t get the credit he deserves for that.
Undav 9.5. So happy for him. That second goal was a peach

Mitoma 8.5. Terrorized them when coming on. Imagine seeing him running at you full of energy when the game is already over. Lacked the final ball.
Caicedo/Mac Allister 8/ Buonanotte 8. All decent when they came on.
Ayari n/a

Veltman

Gross will go right back

Gilmour has played his way into our team in my view

I prefer Gross where he was today or even further forward. I mean he scored 2 goals, right? Get a replacement right back in is a priority.

[jakarta]

Gross didn't nip off before half time to squeeze the oranges as well so must get marked down for that...

 

[Mike Small]

Steele 9

Veltman 8
Webster 9
Dunk 9 - brilliant today after the shambles that was his Wednesday
Estupinan 9

Welbeck 9 - bad miss though (!)

Veltman

Gross will go right back

Gilmour has played his way into our team in my view

Very likely solution, particularly with Veltman seemingly injured. Groß is ace at RB, still gets forward all the time.
