I start with a baseline 6, that's my not done much right, not done much wrong score. Then the good and bad gets factored.
I think you are giving ratings for effort not for how many goals we score, did we over power the other team, clean sheet, MOTM etc
Based upon the LOSS away we did not meet any of the above.

Maybe BUT WE LOST
Its still possible for players to play well in a losing team. You must have played in a match that despite your team losing you feel like you have had a good game personally? Similarly its possible to play absolutely terrible and scrape a win.
Altho our results are similar Chelski have far better individual players so we were always going to be a struggle. I'm surprised anybody thought any different tbh. Similarly i think we have better players than Southampton and we scraped bye with a scuffed shot. We haven't won many games as you know so are you suggesting with give marks of 3's across the board everytime we lose a game? I went for 3-1 to Leeds because of the hope rather than expectation.

a 6/10 baseline is starting at above average ?
6 is baseline average...but you can play well and lose you know, one or two players can have outstanding games in a big defeat. Your rating the team, you should be rating individual performance... It's what's asked for.

Defensively we were excellent, our failings were up top apart from Summerville & late flurry from Gnonto. Sam Greenwood gave us more creativity when on the ball.
If Gracia wanted a good look at the whole Gnonto or Harrison debate it should have been well and truly answered. I rate Jack but Wilfrid is just better atm. Gnonto could play the 10 and maybe should have done for Aaronson
I think our back 7 picks itself (Roca or Adams as the DMF is the one main question, love Adams dynamism but Roca seems better suited for the KP role) it's just the injuries and fluctuations of selection issues causing a few problems in the front 4. When fit one would assume (left to right)
Gnonto - Rodrigo - Sinisterra and Summerville all start with Harrison - Bamford - Aaronson - Rutter as direct back ups atm.
I'd like to see that for a few games but with Rodri out and Bamford struggling for form because of fitness I think I'd start Joseph

reading the replies to my comments i must be almost alone in ratings for the players and when i see rating of 9 for forward players that have not scored or provided and assists it makes me laugh.

9 ???? for Summerville, how many goals did he score, how many assists did he perform
Crysencio did so many things right, more or less playing on his own in an attacking sense, so much so the Chelsea defenders targeted Summerville as they knew he was our dangerous forward.
Good
5 dribbles
5 runs with the ball (so good, Crysencio was crudely fouled four times)
2 decent passes
1 tackle
Meslier 7
Ayling 6.5 (was a 6, but the sprint at the end to win the corner added a .5 for redemption)
Koch 7
Wober 7
Firpo 7
Adams 6 (tempted to drop to 5.5, but keeping it at 6, maybe because of that shot of his)
McKennie 7 (our best offensive threat outside of Summerville)
Aaronson 6.5 (solid first half, but faded in second)
Harrison 4 (this is getting old)
Summerville 8
Rutter 6 (likely offered more than Paddy, but still young and getting acclimated…he’s “thinking” a lot out there and so doesn’t look natural yet)
Joseph 6
Gnonto 6 (I think he’s being figured out by defenders to some degree, but I think he’s also being experimented with as a strike partner up front…saw some glimpses of that)
Greenwood 6.5 (extra .5 for his free kicks)

I think Javi is maybe protecting Gnonto personally, keeping him fresh and on point. It would be interesting to see him play 10 i'm not sure he will be creative enough but until you try and all that.
