Player ratings v Marquee Players United

Um, no I don't think I will. Too painful.

Phoenix - 1

for getting the kit on.

Thread closed.

Paston would get a rating, but the rest.......no

Paston ?  (didn't do much wrong but conceded 7 so I really don't know what to give him)

Lochhead 0

Sigmund 1 (Scored a goal)

Durante 0

Bertos 0

Invisible Midfield 0

Brockie 0

Huysegems 0

Whoever was the third forward 0

Ifill 6.5 (looked good when he came on, set up goal, hit the bar)

Totori 0 

Fenton 0

Paston 4 - conceded 7 goals

Bertos 5 - still not a right back

Durante 4 - not the most inspiring captain's performance

Sigmund 5 - got a goal

Lochhead 3 - was he playing?

Lia 3 - just rubbish

Smith 2 - useless

Sanchez 3 - a 'mare by his usual standards

Brockie 1 - lazy and casual performance IMO

Boyd 4 - tried hard but didn't do much

Huysegems 3 - missed too many chances

boyd my best - simply because he kept on trying til the end unlike some who didnt seem to try from the start.

ricki should try playing some midfielders.. oh wait

Zero for everyone except Ifill a 6 for an assist and hitting the bar. Paston a 6. He pulled off a couple of top saves again and there wasn't much he could do about most of those goals to be honest.

Extra half point for Ifill's volley on the fulltime whistle into the crowd. Great contact!

Paston 6.5 - Conceded 7 goals, but several good saves.  Questions about his organisation of defence, otherwise higher.

Bertos 4 - Still not a right back, got reamed by dP, but got little help or direction on the night.  Work in progress.  

Durante 4 - Failed to provide the leadership and direction for his back 5/6 and positionally poor a few times.  Not his best game.

Sigmund 3.5 - sure he got a goal but he was out of the line frequently, beaten badly by Griffiths, organisation and communication as bad as the rest of the back 5.  Mess.

Lochhead 3.5 - no impression on the game.  

Lia 2 - Sydney played thru and around him like he wasn't there on D, contributed little otherwise.

Smith 2 - several poor touches.  no impact. no defensive contribution.

Sanchez 3.5 - too many passes left short, don't recall him finding his front three with any significant pass.  Not his best.

Brockie 4 - got in position for a couple of chances, but his usual on again but mostly off again presence.

Boyd 4 - tried hard but didn't do much

Huysegems 4 - missed chances, but was at least there for them, no real presence in the second half.

Geez , some of these ratings imply getting 2 or 3 points simply for lacing up boots.

I guess it was because it was the defence I noticed more. Take 1 or 2 off each if you like, you won't get any argument from me! (For once)

For those that gave Lochhead the lowest mark of the back 4, why?  Bertos got schooled by ADP twice, and most of the goals from memory came up the middle.  Obviously Lochhead was as bad as anyone there, but what did he do that stood out as him being the worst?

 This.

Try Dura standing back admiring del Piero when someone needed to tackle him.

 I surprised noon has really been bagging the chances we blew last night. We had 13 chance to their 4 at one point in the first half.

IIRC a lot of our "chances" were ballooned long range shots. Stein did have a few sitters but on the whole I think the shots stats aren't entirely meaningful because they don't say where the shot was taken from, what other options were available to the player, and whether the shot itself even looked like testing the keeper. 

I dont think anyone deserves more than a 2
