Meslier - 7 - solid if unspectacular
Bogle - 7 - only for the simple fact that he was often open and no one found him.
Firpo - 7 - solid if unspectacular, although he occasionally fills the ten spot in attack, which I attribute his international duty causing
Ampadu - 8 MOTM for me. Was everywhere and even made some nice runs and passes in the final third.
Rodon - 6.5 - not bad from Joe, but still not up to last year’s standard
Struijk - 7.5 - another dependable performance albeit the rating is tempered by his penalty miss
Ramazani - 8 - took his goal well. Here’s to many more from him.
Gruev - 5 - the talents of he and Amps on the same field are wasted, yet Farke won’t adjust/fix it
Joseph - 6.5 - thought he had a solid game. Would’ve been higher had he scored, but he will have these games.
Aaronson - 7 - looked lively and pressed well. Some wonderful through balls again. Keep it up
Gnonto - 7- decent outing from Willy. Won’t go as high as some, but had a nice outing.

sub
Piroe - 7.5 - I’m not his biggest fan in this system, but he took his chance well. Credit where credit is due. Nice job.

You also thought Gruev was average/poor by far, Joe.

That's you, Cat & myself having the same opinion on Ilia's display.

He’s a good player if a bit tidy and overly risk averse. Can’t help but conclude that it’s redundant for our sake. I can understand using he and Ampadu in certain tactical matchups, but Cardiff wasn’t going to threaten our goal so we could use a bit more ingenuity going forward alongside Amps.
