Match Player Ratings

[Strawberry Avenger]

All agreed there. Sadly Msr Lamouchi would only score 6 for me as his substitutions unsettled us unnecessarily. Again he is caught when giving his bench players a run out. Pointless and disruptive.

I think on the whole Lamouchi's subs have been very good this season but you make a fair point Ciscokid. Last night his subs did seem to be unnecessary and disruptive.

Disagree. Ameobi was flagging (cant understand why he's incapable of playing a full 90 minutes), Silva faded badly and taking off a holding midfielder (Yates) for an attacking winger (Adomah) was a failed attempt to turn the tide and snatch a goal. 

I was suggesting in the first half that playing the two holding midfielders against a 5-5-0 / 4-5-1 formation was pointless. But as has been said on the other threads, we have no attacking players to bring in apart from the ones who were on the pitch.

I thought Yates broke forward really well as an 8. Scored one and nearly got on the end of others. I sort of agree re subs, but felt we ended up with a really unbalanced 11 on the pitch.

What I like about Yates?  His will to win.  (A characteristic of confidence that Worrall and Cash have also...)  But in Yates he utterly embodies it.

He's the future.

SA.
