Mannone 7- made a couple of decent saves but apart from that wasn't really tested Rosenoir 7 - Brilliant again just needs to hold men off better Chester 8 - solid performance Hobbs 8 - solid performance Dawson 8 - great going forward thought he should have taken corners Stewart 7 - had a quiet game TBH Evans - 8 - very good game Mc Kenna 7 - Ran the midfield well Koren - 8 great goal but apart from that didn't do much Mc Lean 9 - Ran his socks off best player on the pitch by far Fryatt 6 - ran a bit but thats all is very lazy Dudgeon - 6 when came on looked sharp Brady 3 - really don't rate him Cairney 4 - wasn't on for long but did enough in a small space of time Still think we need a striker after it has been comfirmed Josh King has signed on loan until the end of the season
Thought Brady did well when he came on. Cracking effort that came off the inside of the post. Ridiculous to give him a 3 and less than Cairney. Stewart did okay, had his full back on toast first half so was disappointed that he didn't do more of that in the 2nd. Evans was at least a 9, best game in a City shirt for him. McKenna was as quietly efficient as always, deserved an 8. Disagree with "best player on the pitch by far" for McLean. Thought he did fine today, definitely wasn't better than Evans though and as always passed a couple of balls straight out of play. Had a good game though. The whole Chester not being as good since Pearson left can lie now, he was outstanding today.
stewart frustrates me a lot, has the potentail to be absolutely brilliant, like when he absolutey skinned there left full back in the second half but why doesnt he run down the line when a full back or a central midfielder has the ball, instead of going to stand next to them almost holding there hand? also think you are harsh on brady, he put an absolute top class cross across the 6 yard line. which any striker worth his salt would have been on the end of tapping in.
thought the introduction of brady and dudgeon gave us much more urgency and mclean was with evans outstanding
This. Ridiculously hard on Brady when he came on, hit the post and put in the only cross of top quality the game saw. The young man doesn't seem to have a lot of fans. Guessing those that slate him weren't at the cup game last week either.
How do you define Mclean as outstanding? The one clear cut chance of the game fell to him and he blazed it over the bar. Koren cant keep coming up with wonder strikes to hide our deficiencies.
personal opinion, every player has pluses and minuses, his energy,workrate and teamwork were outstanding to critise one miss is harsh, but thats my opinion
In addition to that, when he is so good at getting to the byline and making goals (look at the goals he's been involved in, all almost identical) why doesn't he do it more often? Lately he seems fascinated by the wonders of cutting inside, ffs if it ain't broke don't fix it. Take the man on, leave him in a heap looking a twat and make some goals! Agree with that, he's one of those unpopular players but unlike with McLean, Gulacsi and others, I can't understand how he became so unpopular. Mannone - 9 - Could have been 3-0 down inside 10 minutes Chester - 8 - See above, 1 mark down because of the mistimed header that let Sinclair in the first time Hobbs - 8 - Solid Rosenior - 7 - Good as always Dawson - 6 - He's just not Dudgeon Evans - 9 - Covered every blade of grass McKenna - 6 - Not his usual self today IMO, wasted possession a few times McLean - 8 - Much better when he went up front but also decent on the wing, made the run that created the goal Koren - 8 - Just for the winner Stewart - 7 - Good but needs to get back to running at fullbacks round the outside, when he does it it's devestating Fryatt - 6 - Hardly noticed him. He's decent with his back to goal but in the current system he hardly gets the ball playing up front on his own. Dudgeon - 7 - Why don't we use him? Brady - 8 - Great talent, god knows how that shot stayed out Cairney - 6 - Wasn't on long, didn't do much.
I though Stewart was better yesterday than he has been in the last few games, but I'd agree he can still be frustrating. I also thought Brady did well when came on, he definitely seems to prefer a more central role, he definitely wasn't a 3.
if stewart new how to cross a ball after getting past the defender (which he never fails to do) he's be devastating. Anyone know how brady's shot that missed the post didn't go in?
