SUN STAR MAN - RAFAEL VAN DER VAART (Spurs)
Spurs: Gomes 6, Hutton 7, Kaboul 5, Gallas 5, Assou-Ekotto 7, Bentley 6, Huddlestone 6, Modric 6, Bale 7, Van der Vaart 8, Pavlyuchenko 5 (Crouch 6). Subs Not Used: Cudicini, Jenas, Palacios, Bassong, Kranjcar, Corluka. Booked: Bentley, Gomes.
Looking at the match ratings regarding SC when it comes to Modric, they never seem to match pundits ratings systems.
People in the Sunderland rating threads were giving Modric 7 or 8 on average and gave him the MOTM in a landslide via the poll.
One forumite, out of all of the ratings gave Modric a 6. So only one agreed with the Sun rating of Modric.
All the rest were 7's and 8's. Most gave him MOTM. And words like "Cracking game", "All heart", "Ran the show" etc being used.
My question is this: In general, is SC overdoing the Modric ratings?
Serious question, not a wind up, because I may be guilty of going in the opposite direction. I know the MOTM is biased because it has to be a Spurs player, and not the op in the SC polls, but still: In reality media, pundits, opta, motm awards, prem player of the month awards never reflect the SC polls. Why is this? Is every single football journo, player commentator, opta rating index etc that lazy/clueless? All of them?
