Match Ratings Ratings vs Fulham

[daveduvet]

Can’t rate anyone.. I actually slept through the last 80 minutes

Luckily I havent seen any of the debacle. I followed the match on a very fine SC thread for 20 mins and realised we were playing AM instead of the Fools so gave up hoping I was wrong, and the final score was actually 3-0.
So I have no right to put up personal ratings but lifting them from other Internet sources here is my hybrid version:-

Lloris 6.0
Aurier 5.4
Sanchez 5.0
Dire 5.4
Reg 6.8
Hoj 6.1
W*nks 5.0
Sissy 4.8
Ndomb 5.9
Son 5.2
Kane 6.2
=========
Dele 5.9
=========
Mourinho 3.9

We need two new central defenders. Dier is simply not good enough.

Seems logical

Only when you take a defensive midfielder off. Jose took off both of our creative midfielders in Winks and Ndombele, our only chance of creativity between defence and attack was lumping it upfield.

1-1 at home to Fulham. We finish the game with four defenders and Sissoko/Pierre screening them. We have Bale/Alli/Moura all on the bench with one sub going unused.

Despite what Jose may say to the press, his actions speak louder than his words.

Let's be frank, we've been so heavily reliant on Kane and Son to score, that we were always due a game where they spaffed most of their chances.

Some interesting points in this thread.

Some people have Sanchez as playing ok. Thought he was a liability as usual. People want to blame Dier for the goal but, if you've played football, you know it is hard running backwards to jump compared to someone who has the run on you. And don't try and tell me the couple of inches difference matters in that kind of situation.

The issue comes from the cross. Firstly Sissoko and Aurier both try to hand the runner over to each other meaning he is left. In turn, Sanchez has to come over but is once again slow to read the situation.

Here in lies the problem....Sissoko, Sanchez (and Winks) are simply not good enough for a team wanting to push on. And you can't expect to win games, regardless of the managers poor tactics, with only 8 players that are good enough.

We desperately need a CB (Milenkovic/Skriniar), an out and out CM (Bissouma) to slot in alongside Hojbjerg and another attacking option (Sabitzer).

However we all know none of them will happen any Time soon, if at all.

We have some of the world best forwards in our team, yet where do I constantly see them? In our own box. Kane should be leading the line, not having to constantly come back to collect the ball!

Winks creative ??

Winks creative ??

That comment is well out of order. How much more creative can one player be then to make himself disappear in the middle of a freshly cut field in front of millions??

fulham have powerful players who were fully charged as they hadn't had a prem game since boxing day.
Winks was bouncing off them and was lucky not to get hurt.
Sissoko should have been withdrawn from this unsuited attacking role and slotted next to hojbjerg where he could have covered for his mate aurier.
Alternatively moved Dier into midfield and brought on Tanganga.
We needed to get height and power into our core. It wasn't a game for Alli, Bale or Moura, so mourinho got that much right.

motm was that fat bloke fulham brought on at the end, as he gives us all hope.
But as he's not on the list, then reg for the pass of the game for kane's goal.

The defence was not the problem in this match. The offensive set up was.
