It's been ages since I started a thread and so disillusioned after last nights ineptness that I though I would post ratings up to this point in the season. Think these are fairly accurate and if you disagree, you are wrong..................!!
Sanchez 5. Very average keeper who takes too many risks. Not sure why we signed him – out of desperation it seems. Responsible for us not beating Arsenal which still annoys me.
Petrovic 8. He isn’t Cech or Courtois but until we find another keeper of that calibre, he will do. I like what I’ve seen up to now.
James 0. Another season to write off. Not sure why he was made captain. Even the minutes he has played, he looks a shadow of what he once was.
Chilwell 3. See James, but I have a little more hope that he will return to something like the player he was.
Cucurella 3. Pointless signing. Has had one or two, decent performances but far outweighed by all the poor ones.
Disasi 3. Another questionable signing. Not a great defender and very uncomfortable on the ball – we need better than this fella.
Badiashile 4. I do rate him but another treatment table specialist and when he has played has made bad errors. Can only hope he returns to form when fully fit.
Colwill 6. I am certain he will be the answer at CB, so have taken the fact he is being played out of position in his mark.
Silva 8. Yes, time is catching up with him but he is still far and away our best defender and is probably as surprised as anyone that he is playing as many minutes at 39. He’s different class and I’m tempted to give him a 10 for that alone.
Fofana 0. See James, although I still have hopes that he can overcome injuries as he looks quality when 100% fit.
Gusto 6. Has been decent if a bit erratic at times but only 20 and will hopefully get better and better.
Gilchrist 6. Very little playing time but already showing why he is being likened to JT. One for the future.
Gallagher 6. Pick of the midfielders IMO, which granted, isn’t saying much. Pluses are his energy, determination and ground he covers but lacking in goals and assits and needs to curb some of the silly tackles.
Enzo 3. This guy seems to have gone backwards. When he first played I thought what a massive upgrade on Jorginho. Now he looks like Jorginho mark 2. Thought he would be bossing the midfield and playing killer passes but he has been a massive disappointment only outweighed by……
Caicedo 2. I just don’t see it. We have been well and truly mugged by Brighton and some.
Ugochukwu 0. Haven’t seen enough of him but not impressed with what I have seen.
Lavia 0. Have hopes for him but needs to get fit.
Chukwuemeka 6. Promising start to season only for the injury curse to strike but definitely a player to persevere with.
Palmer 9. The one bright note of the season so far. The lad is quality and our season would be a write off without him.
Mudryk 4. Can he come good? Every time you see little signs, they evaporate next match when he just runs into players and falls over. Would persevere with him but his is at Gronkjaer levels.
Madueke 7. I like him and think he has been hard done by to only get limited playing time. Still raw and at times looks clumsy but would much rather see him start games than…….
Sterling 2. Sorry, one good game in 5 is nowhere near enough. The team looks better when he isn’t in it.
Broja 4. Think his best role is coming off the bench as he doesn’t look good enough to start or play 90 minutes.
Jackson 3. He’s no striker. We clearly need a LOT better.
Nkunku – can’t really mark him as we all know he IS a player but has hardly figured. Have high hopes for him IF he can stay injury free.
Pochettino. Score would change on a weekly basis but overall and with the Boro shambles fresh in my mind 3. I want to see improvement. I want to see us playing with a style and identity and I want him to be up remonstrating when things aren’t going well, not sat on his arse with his cronies. MUST DO BETTER and quickly.
Feel better for getting that of my chest, but what a sh*t show we have been.
