Give hojberg week off
Good to see more flexible tactics in a tricky (on paper) tie. Enjoyed it,
but both teams sloppy passing so not high quality. Could have scored more.
Lloris..........7.........Never really tested but always in the right place.
Doherty....5.........Not really an upgrade on what we had before or what we've got. Silly red card.
Toby...........8.........Solid in defence, Amazon level distribution and a goal to boot(head)
Dier.............6+......Patchy passing at times. Could be so much better if he concentrated.
Davies........7.........Much better when he is only asked to defend.
Winks........7..........Sound, nothing negative, although even that assessment is a tad negative.
Hojbjerg...8..........My mom sorry, sorry Freudian slip. Strong and focused as usual.
Bergwijn...6..........Puts in the effort but finishing for a front man is very average.
Son.............7+ Great movement and finish for his goal. Literally breathless performance.
HK...............8.........Good game all round. Quality assist. Dribbling new baby standard.
Mouriho got the tactics right, showed a bit of flexibility and didn't invite Leeds on too much
Sorry will edit.You are literally correctTanguy's rating off the chart?
Pretty much spot on apart from the 7 you gave Moura, thought he was pretty poor to be honest. Much as I wanted Doherty to be the answer at RB he just looks poor.I thought Davies was our best defender, and Hojbjerg our best midfielder, and Kane scored and assisted, but Son - with his goal and his work rate just edges my vote for MOM.
Lloris - 7
Doherty - 5
Alderweireld - 7
Dier - 6
Davies - 8
Winks - 7.5
Hojbjerg - 8
Ndombele - 7
Bergwijn - 7
Son - 8
Kane - 8
Sissoko - 7
Moura - 7
Vinicius - not enough time to judge him
Mourinho - 7 - Tactics spot on - much better balance between attack and defence, but thought he left the changes far too late.
Other thoughts...
Doherty looks well below the standard we need at RB. Surely Tanganga is a better back up for Aurier?
Dier was very sloppy first half and needs to buck his ideas up.
I've been critical of Davies, but he was superb today. MOTM for me.
