Krul - 6 - Had **** all to do
Simpson - 4.5 - Played ok until the 70th minute, then ****e
Williamson - 6 - Little to do, unlukcy with the og
Perch - 6.5 - Better than expected
Santon - 5.5 - Quite poor defensively, average attacking
Cabaye - 6 - Played quite well
Guthrie - 6 - Played quite well
Gutierrez - 5.5 - Didn't create much
Ben Arfa - 6 - Couple of moments, but struggled to impose himself on the game
Best - 5 - Offered very little
Shola - 5.5 - Better than Best, but still poor

Others not on long enough to rate, but Ferguson looked promising

 

I'd agree with that. Says a lot when Perch is the best player.

 

Krul - 7
Simpson - 6
Williamson - 6 - Little to do, unlucky with the og
Perch - 7 (MOM)
Santon - 6
Cabaye - 6 - Played quite well
Guthrie - 6 - Played quite well
Gutierrez - 6
Ben Arfa - 5
Best - 6
Shola - 5

 

Knock a point each off Best and Shola then I'd say its about right.

 

I want to point out one thing..If you guys watch the replay of that goal they scored, Look at Willo. He was late in covering, if it was Colo the goal would never have happened. I think Willo played a very poor game.

 

Guthrie and Perch were stand out, no-one was good!

 

Colo makes plenty of mistakes too - You guys just like to overlook them cause he's got a stupid haircut. I think it was against West Brom when he was at fault for at least two of the goals but on here you were all blaming Perch.

 

This. Guthrie MotM, Perch a close second.

 

Are we a 1 man team? I think so at the moment.

 

No. We're a 1 striker team. What is the matter with Krul, Tiote, Cabaye, Gutierrez, Guthrie, Coloccini etc.?

 

Krul - 6 - Did have anything to do.
Simpson - 2 - Got forward well but he was a ****ing coward for the goal. Disgraceful.
Williamson - 6 - Unlucky with the own goal.
Perch - 8 - MOM. Solid, absolute quality. The only player on the pitch that looked like they are 6th in the Premiership.
Santon - 6 - Average.
Cabaye - 6 - See above.
Guthrie - 6 - See above.
Gutierrez - 5 - Not as good as normal.
Ben Arfa - 5 - See above.
Best - 4 - Don't know why he even bothered to turn up she didn't really contribute anything. In fairness though he never has been and never will be a left winger so why we were playing him there was beyond me.
Shola - 6.5 - Held the ball up well and his like up play was quite good.

 

Krul is very good but he makes mistakes as does Colo. Cabaye at the moment looks shot of confidence, Guthrie only gets a string of games, Tiote goes missing in games occansionally and Jonas works hard but gives us **** all going forward.

 

Krul - 6 - Did OK really
Simpson - 4 - Got booked and then chickened out of the challenge which led to the goal
Williamson - 4 - Own goal and some occasionally poor defending
Perch - 6 - Did quite well
Santon - 4 - Good at attacking but he let players get through with ease on various occasions
Cabaye - 5 - Played some decent football but he could well end up getting banned for a while now
Guthrie - 5 - Did OK
Gutierrez - 5 - OK
Ben Arfa - 5 - One of the better attackers but didn't do much
Best - 4 - Had a decent shot or two
Shola - 3 - ****e as usual

Don't know where the 6's and 7's are coming from in some peoples ratings. We lost to a Championship side and didn't even manage to score a single goal despite putting out an almost full strength side. It was fairly dire, but all credit to Brighton as they played well.

 

You put in a few 6's yourself you know.

 

Anyone who thinks Shola was better than Best today needs to get off the ****ing pills!

 

Best showed a couple of nice touches, but missed two good chances, both created by Shola

 

They were both poor. So was Ben Arfa. People need to stop being so biased.
