Trafford 6 Could do now't with the goal but his distribution was woeful Pires 6 Still not sure but he was improved from his last performance Esteve 8 Thought he was top class Worral 7 won all his duel in the air looks slow on distribution but like a lot in the team today was linking with players he ...

Some one has probably already asked the question, but here goes. If our players are so much in demand, and worth so much to so many other teams, how the hell did we manage to finish the season 19th.

Trafford 5 did not too much wrong but distribution was poor Assignon 4 does not look any better than Roberts and not as good as Vitinho O Shea 4 Not his best game but was under constant pressure and playing with partners that were hopeless Esteve 3 Looked clueless today Delcroix 3 I have to give him...

Trafford 5 Worlds best shot stopper dose not make a good goalkeeper. At fault with two goals today, admittedly the second should also have been cleared from left back and the defence should have stepped up to leave Liverpool offside. Assignon 6 made some good forward runs and was solid enough O'Shea...

When we signed Trafford I was pleased , He was over priced probably but with tremendous potential and will make a world class goalkeeper one day probably. However I expected us to send him out on loan to a championship team to continue learning I did not for a moment expect him to be No1 keeper in t...

Trafford 4 Absolutely top shot stopper unfortunately he is not a yet a top goalkeeper , he is weak and lacks physical presence, positioning and distribution is not PL he and the goalkeeping coaches are just not learning, no progress is being achieved as the same mistakes are occurring each week. Vit...

Trafford 5 Distribution was dire Vitinho 5 O Shea 5 Ekdal 7 Taylor 6 Brownhill 7 BrunLarsen 7 ( Then 4 after he was switched position to accomodate Gudmonson) Berge 5 Koleosho 7 ( our only hope it seems of creativity) Amdouni 6 Rodriguez 6 ( Some ratings are very harsh giving him3 for example, he sp...

I think we'll be unchanged, but I'd like to see Ekdal come in for O'Shea

Normally I would agree but with Sheff Utd style of play a Championship type of player may suit better the situation so O Shea may fit the bill better for this match than Ekdal even though Ekdal is a far better footballer

Trafford 5 Not really to blame for the goals, but has no presence, is slow at distribution and looks like a les mature version of BPF Vitinho 4 He is a good bench player an old fashioned utility player but should not be starting Al-Dakhil 5 OG not his fault, however he is not Premier League YET. Del...

I think he probably realises like the rest of us that he is not a left back, or even a defender of any sort, as proved last year. His future lies further forwards in the Chelsea or any other team he chooses. He was probably of the opinion that if he signed for Burnley he would be put at LB or LWB wh...

Any one who can give Berge 7 must be watching a different game to the one I saw. 33 touches and no tackles. If he was not fit then why did he play. I assume Kompany was using this game as an extension of his friendlies before we start the real season in two weeks trying a few new things out at the b...

The pitches that the Clarets played on at home last season were the best in the division. You might think considering that the staff won awards for best ground staff in the division that they might have had a bonus for their efforts considering the generous pay-outs to the players and the amount of ...

BPF 6 Did all he could on 5 of the goals made some good saves . Roberts 6 Thought he did well enough against tough opponents. Foden did him for one of the goals. Beyer 6 Made some good forward runs did not look out of place at this level. Al- Dakhil 5 Bullied by Haaland ,physical mis-match Maatsen 3...

BPF 6 Nothing to do. Vithino 7 Gave width options but the balls played to him weer ponderous and slow. Al Dakhil 7 Solid Beyer 7 Class player Taylor 6 Too slow in distributing the ball looked like he had fallen out with Zaroury Cullen 7 Lots of effort and industry, over acted in the sending off. Bro...

Muric 3 If there was a 2 he would get it. His distribution was appalling, apart from gifting a goal his whole game was just not anywhere near what is required and it affected the whole team in the first half. If as reported he was ill then he can be excused. Roberts 7 Thought he did as well as anyon...

I think the elite refs have become so reliant on VAR that they are finding it difficult to ref without it. The main problem last night was the refs positioning, he was often too far from the action and was not positioned well to see many of the key moments like the push on Taylor and Brownhill. the ...

Muric- 7 Some early distribution errors but otherwise reasonable. Roberts-7 Quiet game but solid in his defensive work. Maatsen-5 Thought he was wrong side of attackers on several occasions, and a yard off the pace. Beyer -7 A wobble or two but otherwise sound. He could have moved and re cycled the ...
