Ratings -VS- Derby

[General Levy]

Cerny - 7 Not much to do. Some good catching and he commanding his area well - Robbo take note.

Hutton - 6 Looked average today.

Huddlestone - 7 played well against rubbish.

Dawson - 6 went off injured after 10 minutes

Chimbonda - 6 played ok

Lennon 8 - Brilliant and a thorn in Derby's side all game/

Boateng 5 - Wayward passing and no drive - subbed at half time.

Jenas 7.5 - Played some great passes and made some good runs.

Malbranque 7.5 - Played great again, his run and shot made Keanes goal

Bent 6 - Ran the channels but wasn't found often enough. He is our Anelka and you have to play to his strengths.

Keane 7 - Good shot in the 1st half. The minute Berbs came on his game changed - easy goal.

Subs:

O'hara 6.5 - Came on and looked better than KPB

Kaboul 7.5 - Assured, commanding and un-Kaboul like. Scored a great goal

Berbatov 8 - It looked like we might draw/lose until he came on. Great penalty.

 

[Marty]

Good to see Kaboul doing well.

Disappointed with Boateng, and I agree, we have to play to Bent's strengths for him to be useful.

Good 3-0 win, but I was very nervous when we went so long before the first goal.

 

[paxtonyiddo]

Cerny made himself look big at times very good display from him again.
Disappointin Bent never scored today but he didnt have a bad game to be fair.

COYS!!

 

[parklane_n17]

boatengs performance was in the top 5 worst performances of all time in a spurs shirt those two passes at the end were so bad it was unreal even ramos had a smirk on his face. at least he smashed savage one bonus i guess

 

[$herringham]

Sort of disappointed that we scored all 3 goals after berbs came on..

My MOTM: Steed

 

[EmperorKabir]

we were not good, they were worse

 

[don1]

im going to give it to jenas to finish of a good week for him

 

[KeaneIsKeane]

Yeah, it is worrying how much better we look with Berbatov up front. He really is looking irreplaceable. Our midfield isn't creative enough to play with striker like Bent.

 

[Berbati]

As I already informed you, I'm in a clinic. There are already positive results from my treatment. :lol: I saw that Malbranque and Keane are more influential than Berbatov. It's a pure coincidence that the result was only 0:0 before Berbatov came in. He was a lucky passanger. Don't succumb to the myth his presence can change a game. It's a mentally dangerous thought.

MOTM - Malbranque :up:

 

[Yid-ol]

you are right berbati, Berabtov changed the game today

still doesnt make him player of the season so far.... its becomeing an obbsesion for you this player of the season lark isnt it?

Guys,

Don't want to sound like a knob, but this is a match ratings thread. The mods will lock it if you do not post your ratings - so please do!

Thanks

 

[stemark44]

Jenas was man of the match by a mile,superb midfield performance.
Boateng is he even a footballer,must have an identical twin somewhere who can play because the guy we have can't!

 

[Teemu]

I'm going to start calling Boateng 'KP Nuts'. Because he is absolute balls.

 

[EmperorKabir]

Guys,

Thanks

....you sure? Surely by voting in the poll we are contributing to individual ratings by voting, and do we really have to create a seperate thread to discuss the team performance in general?

 

[Marty]

which numpty voted for Boateng?

 

[PaulL]

Cerny - 6 - Commanded the box well but his kicking was poor

Hutton - 6 - Got himself into good positions but poor finishing ball. Good example was when he shot instead of squaring it.

Dawson - N/A - Not on field long enough

Hudd - 7 - After a few nervous moments, played well and held the back 4 together

Kabul - 6 - Well taken goal but still seemed vulnerable at the back, gave the ball away quite a few times also but pointless long balls.

Chimbonda - 6- Got a silly booking, didn't do much else.

Lennon - 8 - My man of the match, the amount of running he does is impressive, his crossing has improved and kept working for the whole game.

Jenas - 7 - Missing in the first half, but played well in the second. When playing with Boateang he seems to drop too deep and doesn't do what he is good at which is breaking forward and attacking the space.

Boateang - 4- Shocking first half, every game he plays he seems to give away stupid freekicks in dangerous places. Didn't even do the simple things right today and lost possession on several occasions.

Malbranque - 7 - Good game, made the first goal.

Bent - 5 - One good run but didn't do much else, good that he got match practice though.

Keane - 6 - Only started playing in the second half, easy goal but like always he was in the right position for the simple finish.

Berbs - 7 - The team looked better once he was on, didn't do anything spectacular himself but made the space and held the ball for others

O'hara - 7 - Gave our midfield a better shape in the 2nd half.


fans - 10 - could hear you singing all match, can't ask more than that!

 

[bugsdad]

Cerny 7 did everthing right looked confident
Chimbonda 6 Cant pass but defensively sound
Hutton 7 loooked safe wanted to see him come forward more
Dawson 6 Not on long enough to judge
Kaboul 8 Best game he has played for us for a long time
Huddlestone 7 Looking Better and better
Steed 7 worked hard but loses the ball too often and his passing is not great if he could improve in these areas he would be a great player.
Jenas 8 Superb second half .Im not his greatest admirer but he is improving by leaps and bounds.MOM
Boetang 4 Shame very poor half .hoping for so much from him but he continues to dissapoint.
OHara 6 Played well but he is limited ,still he always gives his all.
Lennon 8 dont know what Ramos is feeding him but again he looks a different player since he came.
Keane 6 There again for the goal but not much else.
Bent 5 Hardly showed but then again not give a decent ball from the mid field.
Berbatov 7 Oozess class we are so much better when he is on the pitch ....irreplaceable

 

[truespur]

Boeteng -1 I pray we get rid of this useless piece of shit in the summer. i was furious with his performance.

o'hara showed him how to play a controlled game

 

[DJS]

Keane - 6 - Only started playing in the second half, easy goal but like always he was in the right position for the simple finish.

Or could be down to his fantastic reading of the game and well timed runs! :up:

Cerny - 8. Very solid

Hutton - 6. A major step down from the MU game - hope this is temporary.

Huddlestone - 7. Did a reasonable job, though with some errors that went unpunished by the poor opposition.

Dawson - 6. Too little time. What was this discussion with Ramos and Poyet all about?

Chimbonda - 6. Wasn't tested really - made some ridiculous decision at the end.

Lennon - 7. Worked hard, but quite inefficient agains a poor Derby side.

Boateng - 2. Disaster and disgrace.

Jenas - 7. Worked hard to cover every hole in midfield. Didn't offer enough in attack.

Malbranque - 7. Same as Lennon.

Bent - 6. Unfortunately, it is looking more and more likely that Bent simply does not fit to our style of play.

Keane - 8. Another important goal.

Subs:

O'hara - 7. A huge improvement to KPB - good squad player and should get better under Ramos.

Kaboul - 8. Very solid in defence. Superb goal for a defender. Finally he played like the French under 21 captain should be expected to.

Berbatov 8 - It is quite worrying how dependent the team is on this guy. We were crap and didn't threaten at all before he came on. It is great that his presence lifts up the other players (Keane notably) - we definitely at least one more player of his caliber - best in midfield as a partner to JJ.
