Going against the grain here, I thought Wober was easily our most composed defender in the first-half with Rothwell overall our best player, supplying some lovely deliveries from set-pieces, also put in a workmanlike display.
6 Darlow - made three decent saves.
5 Byram - no real clangers from Sam.
2 Rodon - should have done better for all three goals.
6 Wober - our best defender on the night, made one great tackle & two good blocks in our box.
2 Firpo - missed our only chance on target, one of many responsible for at least one of the goals.
5 Ampadu - why is he playing as a 3rd CB?
6 Aaronson - busy.
5 Piroe - the usual in & out of the game from Joel.
2 Gelhardt - headless chicken comes to mind.
1 Bamford - difficult to give Paddy a point, he provided us with nothing
subs
6 Gnonto - our most lively sub
5 Rutter - if only his thunderous shot had gone in off the post, would have been a fitting finale!
4 Struijk - got done for the third goal.
3 Gruev - quiet
Bielsa did it with KP, Busquets at Barcelona etc.
Problem is without good coaching, work on the training ground, movement drilled into the players to create space and passing lanes, and the player having the freedom to be brave with his passes its a waste of time.
And passes just go side to side
