Match Ratings Ratings vs West Ham

[Bulletspur]

Who else remember those heady days when we were top of the table for a few weeks? Those days where the media had us down for the title? Those days where other than the 3 goal comeback, West Ham were never a threat. Those days where we could go to any ground and come away with three points, playing as a well drilled unit? Those were the days

Now we are fighting hard to remain in the top 10, where going by our recent performances in the league, would be an achievement!

Gareth Bale my MOTM, no more to see here

[EDIT] Unless we get a corner, Dier should not be allowed to pass the halfway line or take any free kicks and Dele should be banned from his "flicks and tricks"

 

[Erm33]

Bale MOTM

The rest, not good enough.

 

[EastLondonYid]

Bale.

Shouldn't have lost,but if you start the game wrong you end up chasing, first half set up no way good enough.

 

[mattdefoe]

I will start with the 0/10s

Sanchez 0/10 how is he getting games ahead of Toby. Disgustingly bad

Dier 0/10 as per above

Doherty 0/10 I have tried to give this guy the benefit of the doubt but wow he looked exhausted as soon as he came on ffs.

Lloris 0/10 ok he didn’t make any significant errors but I feel no confidence with him in goal anymore

Son 0/10 yes son gets a 0 , placid and just dancing around doing nothing

Dele 0/10 lazy passenger of a footballer

The above 0/10s

Kane 6/10 missed the target a few to many times but was better than most

Bale 8/10 lively , sharp and game changing .

Lucas 6.5/10 lively at times , nice goal and some good runs

Lamela 6.5/10 also lively

Everyone else who isn’t mentioned 1/10

 

[Bulletspur]

Bale.

Shouldn't have lost,but if you start the game wrong you end up chasing, first half set up no way good enough.

And that is where I have a problem with Mourinho. We have the personnel to beat any team in the league, but his coaching (we do not see to be able to shield and pass accurately), game management and selection have been really suspect

 

[SlotBadger]

Bale was great, Lamela was good. Excellent header by Lucas.

Defence was poor and Doherty was... fascinating.

 

[spids]

Lloris - 5 - Just does not dominate his area and is too often glued to his line. That first goal he needs to come and take the ball and anything that gets in the way. At one point Sanchez had to concede a corner as Lloris let a throw on bounce into our 6-yard box and was glued to his line. It is ironic as when we signed him he we couldn't keep him in his penalty area and now we cannot get him off his line!
Tanganga - 6 - Tough being a young kid in such a shaky defence
Sanchez - 6 - Played largely as I expected.
Dier - 4 - Not good enough.
Reguilon - 6 - Below his usual standard.
Højbjerg - 5 - Another was below his usual standard and looked off the pace and was sluggish from the first minute. Got better second half.
Ndombele - 6 - Played within himself, especially first half.
Lamela - 6 - One nice run first half, but is too slow to play as a WF.
Moura - 6 - Nice goal, but he is not a #10. We need to get him into 1 on 1's with opponents in the last third, not coming to collect the ball of Højbjerg with his back to goal.
Son - 6 - Didn't really get going today. A couple of nice crosses.
Kane - 6 - Like the majority of the team he didn't seem up for it first half. Second half he looked class.

Doherty - 6 - Got forward well, but his crossing was very poor.
Bale - 8 - He simply has to start as he did more in the first 10 mins he was on than our entire team did first half. Shame we were 2-0 down by then.
Dele - 6 - Too many flicks that did not work, he really needs to cut that out as we need him.

Mourino - 4 - I am just so annoyed that we did not play the way we could, and should, have been playing all season until we were 2-0 down. Too little too late. This was a must win game so I am in favour of sacking him now and getting a decent manager who is not living on past glories in the summer. How the hell can he not get a tune out of Bale, Dele, Kane, Son, Ndombele, Reguilon, Lo Celso, etc. ?

 

[JackTheYid]

The toxic combination of defensive errors and not taking our chances yet again leads to a defeat...who'd have thought it?!

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

Different game after Bale got going, needs to play more.

This. I have always said that he was busted and did not want him. Why is it no other club went for him? Not counting the the other Managers in the "Big 6", there are several Managers in the league that are currently better than Jose.

Can't argue with much of that in fairness.
Probably would have dropped Dier to a 3 just for being Dier.

 

[Dannyspur]

Bale and Lamela were the best players today,
Lucas scored a good goal and ran around a lot, but his passing and shooting were awful
Hugo has to deal with the first goal, Dier could have cleared as well.
Kane and Son well off what we expect from them.
Reggie obviously not fit yet
Dele and Doherty were a waste of space - Doherty had plenty of chances to put in telling crosses but didn't, also gave up chasing the ball in dangerous situations.

Doris - 4.5

==========
Balio - 7.5
Doc - 4.9
Bami - 5.3

So I have Balio Coolio as my Spurs player of the match and the Chuckle Sisters fighting it out for Joker of the match.

Thanks Bullet man for the thread and those (jonny/cooper/spids/matt for bothering to post ratings rather than just sniping at other's)

 

[SlotBadger]

I love PEH, but no way was he a 7 today.

And Lamela worse than 6 and the same as Son?

 

[daveduvet]

I love PEH, but no way was he a 7 today.

Gave the ball away too much. Reminded me a bit of the opening game v everton

 

[HodisGawd]

Doherty looked terrible. He looked like a pub player, he really did.

We have bought a dud, fellas. This guy is out of his depth even in a poor team.

 

[JimmyG2]

Lloris..................5+......His mistake again for the first. Still putting his Perrier water in the back of the net
Tanga.................6+.....Sound performance again
Sanchez............5........Think he needs some career advice.
Dier.....................5.......-Not the man he used to be, if indeed he ever was
Reguilón...........6.........Too early Kick Off time for him. Almost siesta time
Hojbjerg............6.........Caught whatever the rest were suffering from.
Ndombele........6.........Languid verging on catatonic
Lamela...............7+......Punished for playing well by being subbed. That'll teach him
Moura.................6.........Good goal which doesn't make up for his first half performance.
Son.......................6.........Going through the motions.
Kane.....................6.........Surprisingly wasteful.

Bale......................8........ MOM. Vintage stuff his presence intimidates the opposition.
Doherty..............4........Forgotten why we signed him. Him and me.
Dele 5..................5.......Takes up intelligent positions but flimsy on the ball.

Mourinho..............2........and at that he's still overrated.
