Walton - very steady. No chance for the goal, and a couple of decent saves. He’ll keep his place.
Outtara - MOTM for me. Very impressed. Had Grealish in his pocket, tenacious, and full of energy to get forward too.
Diop and O’Shea - both pretty steady.
Davis - quite quiet for him but fine defensively.
Lukic and Palacios - both pretty steady.
Fatawu - looked very lively at times, but still doubts about the end product. And the dive for the red was a shocker.
Clarke - not as creative as usual. Ok.
Enciso - disappointing. Too many times he tries to beat too many when overrun, or go for a speculative shot. Needs to be more of a team player, although does work his socks off too.
Emersonn -quiet game for him but worked hard.
Maeda didn’t really get into it.
Philogene looked better than last week but not great. Other subs worked hard but struggling with 10.

Overall a didn’t battling performance. Looked happily up to the level for most of the game, other than a handful of opportunities that we give away from nowhere, which is a concern.

What the fook? Fatawu currently has the lowest vote of 4.4 presumably because he received two yellow cards.
Up until that point, apart from Ouattara, he’d been the best player on the pitch. He ran his socks off, and was closest to giving us the lead on at least three occasions.

Been saying for weeks now young Ouattara is going to be a big star much to the amusement of my mates who don't actually watch the game. Walton in goal was solid giving the defence confidence. Perhaps Scherpen was a bit unfortunate that he hadn't got O'shea in his rightful position in front of him. But for me Scherpen gets beaten far too easily with the shot across him it looks like he's wearing concrete boots he doesn't move his feet.

Some of the players ratings on here are bewildering i think it's a case of fans marking up their favourite players understandably i suppose. Personally i haven't got a favourite player when i was younger my favourite was Colin Viljoen i wouldn't have a word said against him and probably would give him 10 every week.

@positivelyportman - unfortunately whem you are a cheat and cost your team a chance at getting a result, 4.4 is very generous. He should be fined at least 2 weeks wages.

Linkboy13....it was John Wark for me.

And CPAZ97. I find it extremely frustrating to see a player throw their legs out to ensure contact. It happens all of the time and it's one of thosee instances where I wish VAR stepped in and has the ref go to a monitor so as to see it from different angles (but it all has to be shown at a normal speed).

The other occasion my head nearly exploded, and I was shouting at the TV, and telling my kids he should be fined two weeks wages, was when our player (pretty sure it was Akpom, who went on as a sub last season), despite being on the bench he wasn't even ready & kitted out to play.....had to borrow some socks off another player sat on the bench!!!! Incredible.
