[JoeDenver]

Meslier - 6 - should’ve done more on their goal. Somewhat redeemed with a couple of other stops
Gray - 7 - looked a little sharper than most of his teammates
Rodon - 6.5 - not your typical game from Rodon. Bad giveaway led to the goal
Cooper - 6 - nice save on the line to redeem himself, but super sluggish on the goal
Firpo - 5.5 - quiet and “bland”
Ampadu - 7 - decent game, but clearly wasn’t as sharp as his usual self.
Kamara - 7.5 - was our second best player on the day. Have no clue as to why Farke took him off. We lost something when he came off
Summerville - 8.5 - great goal and was pretty much our only creative spark for the match. Loved his hustle win back balls.
James - 5 - He looked extremely tired. Was he out painting the town last night? Looked way off. I would’ve subbed for Gnonto at HT.
Piroe - 6 - decent, but wasteful with his chances. Looked off, but he didn’t have international duty so not sure what his excuse is.
Rutter - 6 - off night for Georginio. Definitely looked like he might be nursing an injury.

Gnonto - 7 - was a nice spark off the bench. Could’ve used him earlier as James was way off the pace.
Anthony - 6 - see Firpo. Although he had a nicely taken goal which was unlucky, but otherwise was pretty quiet.
Bamford - 5.5 - pretty quiet performance. And I think was unlucky to have the offsides call go against him. But them’s the breaks.
Struijk- 7 - looked better than Coops right away. Side became more settled when he came on. I would’ve preferred him coming on as part of the 70th minute switch.
Poveda - 6.5 - decent spark, but was a bit wasteful. Looked better than James in his fewer minutes, though.

[1964white]

There won't be many high scores from me, I thought we were distinctly average for large periods of the game.

After 30 minutes, we'd had 75% possession, but only one shot on target.

Meslier - 6.5 Bit slow reacting to the goal but steady enough
Gray - 6.5 Again not a fan of playing him at RB, need Spence fit
Rodon - 7 Very average game
Cooper - 6.5 Good in the air & great clearance but his legs have gone
Firpo - 2 Liability, no passion for the club, never want to see him again
Ampadu - 7 Tried his best all night but had nothing to work with
Kamara - 7 Looked good again but spent too much time covering for Firpo
Summerville 8.5. Far & away the best player on the pitch & great finish
James - 5.5 Looked lethargic all night
Piroe - 6 Something missing, confidence, wrong position, fitness ??
Rutter - 7 Tried hard but looked out of sorts. Niggle ??


Gnonto - 7 Should have been brought on earlier, looked good.

Should thrive in this league if he has any ability but I had to check a few times was he actually still on the pitch

I’m not sure it’s his ability but his whole demeanour that annoys me, looked as if he was hiding on the touch line hoping nobody would pass to him instead of looking for the ball, didn’t even try to track back for the goal. I’ll back anyone at the club that gives their all for the shirt but he doesn’t so doesn’t deserve to be wearing that shirt.

[CUSSIE01]

When I watch that Firpo performance last night & compare it to someone like Stuarty Dallas who gave 110% every single game and would probably give his and his mothers eye teeth to pull on the shirt again it makes me mad

[Leeds1000]

Can't add anymore really. The Internationals played there part i'm sure about that. If it was a couple of weeks ago we smash them by 4
or 5. We passed ourselves to sleep first half and never woke up from the slumber. Sideways, backwards, it was like stars were in their eyes and they thought they were Citeh for the night. I thought Klopp was Farke's inspiration.

Bamford costs us more points and i didn't see it during the game but one of our old players (what reception did he get) Lee Peltier should have been sent off and a defo pen. Don't worry tho Bamford would have missed it. 2 Points thrown away but plenty still to play for.

Meslier 6: His positioning did seem a bit off, but i don't think he was expecting the calamity defending.
Gray 6: Decent going forward a few times. Asleep with big Joe for the goal.
Rodon 6: They were feeling very sleepy as they watch the pendulum swing side to side and backwards. Controlled up until the goal.
Cooper 6: Solid in the air turned afew times with Firpo nowhere to be seen.
Firpo 5: I will be as say he's just coming back from injury and leave it at that.
Ampadu 6: Solid and dependable.
Kamara 6: Controlled first half needs a goal.
Summerville 8: Best player on the park by a mile.
James 7: Blasted one over the bar but put some good crosses in.
Piroe 4: Where's his head at. Some cracking touches first half but he's missing more than he should be for me infront of goal.
Rutter 5: A couple of good thru balls but this kid makes us tick along with Jimmy. Get well soon Georginio.

Some players been away doing different things under many coaches knocking us out of rhythm. Farke was right. Rotherham are a league one side in waiting.

Meslier - 6 - should’ve done more on their goal.
Gray - 5 - He is NOT a right back
Rodon - 6. - Has played a lot better
Cooper -4 - He is past his best. He is just too slow

Ampadu - 7 - decent game,
Kamara - 7 - decent game BUT missed a sitter
Summerville - 8.5 - great goal and was pretty much our only creative spark for the match.
James - 5.5 - He looked extremely tired. A couple of decent crosses .
Piroe - 5.5 - Not in the game enough. Missed a couple of good chances
Rutter - 5- Worst game this season.

Gnonto - 5 - Hope we sell him for £20 Million in Jan. Waste of time.
Anthony - 6 - OK
Bamford - 5.5 -OK.
Struijk- 7 - looked better than Coops right away.
Poveda - 6.5 - decent spark, but was a bit wasteful. Looked better than James in his fewer minutes, though.

[John in Louisiana]

Meslier - 7.5 - Can't really be faulted for the goal, did other things pretty well
Gray - 7.5 - One of the few lively performance
Rodon - 6.5 - Least impressive performance so far for reasons not entirely his fault
Cooper - 7.5 - Gets an extra point for that save off the line
Firpo - 6 - Watched on more than one occasion how he lost possession going forward and didn't work hard to get back.
Ampadu - 8 - He and Kamara bossed the midfield
Kamara - 8 - See Ampadu
Summerville - 9 - Clearly the best player in the league right now
James - 6 -
Piroe - 7
Rutter - 7 - Seemed a little tired
Gnonto - 7.5 -
Anthony 7.5
Bamford - 6
Struijk- 7
