Krul 6 - Not much to do
Simmo 4 - Looked a bit dodgy
Raylor 5 - Poor delivery's
Colo 6 1/2 - Did a good shift apart from losing balance for Gabby goal
Taylor 7 - A good shift
Obertan 0 - Not sure I want to see him in the black 'n' white again
Jonas 5 - Did ok defensively but no end product as per usual
Tiote 8 - Getting back to least seasons form
Cabaye 8 - He looks a gem
Best 8 - Grabbed a goal from lackluster service
Ba 7 - Tried to go deep to influence and did what he could

Sammy 6 - Made runs with little support
Marveaux 6 - Made runs and got in good positions
Shola 3 - Can't believe he's related to Sammy

 

Obertan was a lot better than Jonas

 

This.

 

Jonas didn't stall half as much tbf.

 

Really? I thought Obertan was struggling with his end-product, while Jonas was putting some good crosses/balls into the box. Also was dropping a fair bit as well

Krul - 7 What he had to do he did well, and he scream swhen the ball comes near him so the defence know exactly what' going on. A few good punches aswell.
Simmo - 5 A little dodgy but not too bad
Colla - 7 Bit poor for the goal but otherwise solid
Saylor - 7 Solid as per, despite a mistake that almost let Bent in
Raylor - 4, poor and destroys jonas game
Obertan -5 for goodness sake witha little confidence he could be great, but he slows us down so much by being too scared to have a run at people
Cabaye- 9 sensational performance, could and should of had 2 goals minimum, perhaps a hat trick
Tiote - 9 one or two sloppy passes, otherwise back to his majestic self
Gutierrez - 8 offers little going forward now but is doing a sensational job of molly coddling raylor
Best - 8 in and out of the game but his goalscoring record speaks for itself
Ba - 7 looked decent on the ball in flashes, should of come off before Best though

Shola - 6 not his worst performance by any means but still can't justify a place on the pitch
maveaux - 7 looked skillful and clipped in a nice ball that cabaye should have converted for the winner
Sammy - 6 had little to do, scored one great goal that was disallowed although given had already vacated the goal haha

Last 10 minutes Obertan looked half decent. Other than that he was poor as he has been this entire season. Marveaux to start with Obertan coming on in future

 

This, Obertan had a decent game. Also Tiote was ****e again and S Taylor was all over the shop.

 

If we'd been that bad we wouldnt have drawn and dominated for long periods.

Tiote interupted a few Villa attacks and assisted Best's goal ****e isn't the word I would use to describe that contribution

 

For me it's just about him having no end product. I think Obertan reminds me a lot of how Jonas was for a long time. Today we saw Obertan skinning several men down his flank and then doing nothing with it. He's very hot and cold too, gave the ball away easily right after some nice dribbling.

 

He gave the ball away nearly every time he touched it. Not good enough.

 

Krul 7 - Did what was needed. Bad luck being nutmegged for Aghbonlahor's goal
Simmo 6 - Ok going forward as support, a bit average in defence mind.
Raylor 5 - Pretty poor balls into the box.
Colo 7 - Apart from ending up on his arse for Aghbonlahor's shot, was pretty rock-solid.
Taylor 7 - Defended well, apart from the rare cock-up. Otherwise good too.
Obertan 5 - Apart from skinning Warnock a few times, looked pretty poor. Rubbish end-product, no confidence.
Jonas 7 - Looked a pretty constant threat and tracked back well. Made some decent runs
Tiote 8 - Back to his brilliant self - passing well, making tackles.
Cabaye 9 - Man of the match. Bossed the midfield and looks to be a great bit of business.
Best 7 - Showed his usual poacher's instinct. Hope he keeps this form.
Ba 7 - Good hold up play, kept coming deep from the ball with Best as the target man. Looked promising.

Sammy 6 - Looking quite good. He'll do well.
Marveaux 7 - Really needs a starting berth, he looks quality and should be in the first 11; no question.
Shola 5 - Didn't have a shocker, but was... same old Shola.

Read Marveaux's performance 'analysis'

 

Keeping possession wasn't one of his better contributions today but he didn't lose it as much as he did in the first few games.

 

Absolute bullshit. Fail to see how Agbhonlahor is MoM either. Was threatening, but nout compared to Cabaye.

 

Obertan was better than Jonas, Simmo wasn't crap at all, just not a stand out day.

Krul - 7
Simmo - 6
Colo - 7
Saylor - 8
Raylor - 6
Obertan - 6
Tiote - 8
Cabaye - 9
Jonas - 5 (looks really unfit)
Best - 7
Ba - 8 - he played better than Best as a whole, but Best grabs the headlines

Marveaux - 6
Sammeobi -6
Shola - 5

 

Flop of the Match...wtf!!
