Bamadona and Dorigo

I gave Roberts 5 and that was generous.

Hes a striker. Not a ten

Poveda was our worst player today.

Considering how long he was on the amount of times he ran into a dead end or didn't release the ball early enough.

Came across far too much as wanting to impress and out for himself rather than the team

On today's showing, we will be playing City at a good time. Presume there is no clause in his contract that prevents JH from playing.

Harrison won't be playing, is my understanding.

Koch - excellent, really liking this kid
Phillips - after another poor 20 mins, thought he really played well
Roberts - never got into game, never got decent ball either
Rodrigo - thought some of his balls were really poor, but for first time since he’s been here , i saw something in him. And I really liked it.
Proveda - thought he was threat, but have a nagging feeling about him.

Overall thought we was excellent today

Meslier 9
Ayling 8
Koch 7
Cooper 7
Dallas 8
Phillips 7
Klich 7
Roberts 5
Harrison 7
Costa 6.5
Bamford 6.5


Rodrigo 7
Poveda 6

If Poveda sorted his decision making he'd be more effective. Still a young lad, and has raw qualities that can, hopefully, be honed.

Thought Poveda looked excellent, a huge threat who forced Sheff Utd players to stay back when they might have been wanting to attack, although he needs to mix things up. I love seeing a winger take people on though.

Koch made zero mistakes, and some brilliant stuff. I place him higher than Ben White, and works so well with Coops, Mes and Ayling.

Klich was absolutely superb running the midfield - although Dallas ran him very very close.

Dorigo is going to be amazing. His touch is phenomenal, his movement to give us the ability to play the ball in to someone on the edge of the box, his control and strength, his heading ability, his vision. He has everything - he is going to be phenomenal for us and I think we will see him and Bamford as a 10 and 9 and they will just get better and better and better.

Poveda looked far from excellent, everytime he ran you could see exactly where he would end up. He telegraphed every run into nothing.

Sheff united defenders were not concerned about him at all, let alone scared of him.

I think he can be a talent, but today he kept hold of the ball for too long and was more bothered about trying to get a goal than he was aiding the team.
