Match Ratings Ratings vs West Ham

[parj]

You might not have mentioned him as a weakness, but your end of match rating for him implied it, when compared to the higher ratings you gave Dele, Lucas and Son, who all had poor games.

That's absolute garbage. If I go for a shit whilst watching a match does that imply I think Spurs are shit?

Doesn't that mean every player you give below average to means you have an agenda?

And if you read in the rest of the thread I actually said maybe i got excited cos we were playing attacking football.

Down rating a player doesn't equal agenda. It was my opinion.

Not enough credit is given to the fact that history tells us that however West Ham are playing and whatever position in the table they are they almost always turn up for the spurs match . For me not enough credit is given for this victory against players that were giving their all but were ultimately not good enough or more likely we were better than given credit for and thus made them look worse than they actually are .

Yeah because their fans see this as the biggest game of the year and their support inside the stadium always lifts the side in games against us. How many of their actual players see this at the same level as the supporters do? I'd say playing in an empty stadium helped us a bit to be honest.

Very true

Lamela - if only you had a right foot you would be awesome- make sure you are fit for the goons.

But he does have a right foot, but which is not as strong as the left. You could compare him to Dele who has a left foot, but not as strong as his right. Yet you have people harping on about Lamela foot limitations but not Dele's!

I thought it was a good composed performance. You can see that Jose is starting my structurally making us better defensively, I’m sure the attacking play will come.

Lloris - 6 - I thought he was very good against united but was disappointed with his flapping from corners today.

Davies 7 first twenty minutes I feared the worse, missed a few back post headers and was outmuscled. Jose seemed to have a word at first drinks break and he became more aggressive. Great cross to Lucas first half.
Sanchez- 6 looked fine but was beat a little too often in the air. Disappointed with his distribution, he gives away possession too often with poor long balls.
Dier 8 dominant performance and contained Antonio very well. Wins everything in the air and drives the team. Love him stepping out if defence to up the tempo as with his shot.!future captain.
Aurier 7 gives us an outlet and gets into great positions but final ball needs to improve. Defensively was solid but still managed one brain fart which is frustrating.

sissoko 6 clumsy in possession first half and I feel West Ham played to let him be the receiver knowing his limitations. As ever once the game became stretched he improved with string running and interceptions.
Lo celso 8.5 after a quiet 20 mins where he looked a little rusty, he dictated the game. As soon as he moved with the ball and started committing West Ham defenders we looked far better in the front foot. Impressive.
Son 6.5 I actually thought he was laboured and kept coming back inside first half. He made very poor runs which hindered kane and Alli as they had no option. Not fit. However he gets a 7 as he was instrumental when the game stretched and the contributions he made were a disallowed goal and a great assist.
Lucas 6.5 looked for the ball early in and had a vicious shot tipped over. Very poor miss on strike of half time and visibly tired second half.

Alli 6.5 he made some great runs and showed for the ball in good positions. Was let down by the lack of movement by kane and Son. Getting some harsh ratings on here, when a team plays a low block like West Ham there isn’t much space but thought he played well. Tired second half but was involved in 2 good breaks before withdrawn.

kane 7 - wasteful in possession first half but was visibly growing into the game building confidence. Looked hungry second half and more like the Kane of old. Great finish.

Lamela - 7 changed the whole tempo of the game when he came on and was exactly what we were lacking. Was tenacious and won the ball in good positions. Final ball is off still but otherwise a great cameo. Did fantastically for second goal.

Bergwyn - 6.5 good cameo which showed his quality on the ball and intelligence with his runs. When fully fit he has great potential.

This assessment is spot on except for you do not give Sanchez enough credit and you give Dele too much! My opinion of course
