Everyone forgot our sex choice GK
Gazziniga - 7
Been very solid when he's played and is definitely a good back.
Perhaps potential to be No1 - debatable.
I think everyone was under par with the exception of Sissoko.
Verts, Son and Lamela had good periods though.
If we'd had performed anything like we can, we'd have been well clear in 3rd place and may have kept up with Liverpool and City for a bit longer than we did.
Those who thought Son's red against Bournmouth was a dead cert, Progba and Zaha got away with yellows for worse today.
Bit harsh on Wanyama and Lamela who have hardly played. Lamela and Trippier were both excellent in the first game/s. Hard to average out ratings for the whole season. Son had some 10s, as did Moura against Ajax. As a team, would give them an 8. If they beat pool, does that change the ratings!?
The whole score thing is rather silly anyway. And takes no account of context usually.
At the risk of starting a bush fire, take Sissoko.
Which player performed at their absolute best: Sissoko = 10
Which player was the best performer in the team: Sissoko = 7
Cue 10 pages of argument and brick posting....
Lets be honest. The whole team, basically, underperformed. For a catalogue of reasons (fair ones at that). We have struggled and ground our way through the season never actually hitting anything resembling form.
And yet we have had a successful season.
Not much more to pick out of that IMHO.
As Ive said before (and regardless of the CL final result) I think this season has been a watershed.
To be so patently below par all season and achieve what we have? It begs the question of what happens when things go well for us...
The three weeks to the final can make all the difference, if we have everyone fit (expect Wanyama who I think is done and winks) then it's a tough call who to play.
We've never been in that situation this season. That could have made such a difference.
Son is the main man after Kane in terms of playing CF when Kane isnt available. Poch has played Moura off of Kane far more than I've seen Son play centrally off of Kane. Like I've said previously Son is still patchy, he had his hot streak and hes not on form right now so I see it more likely all things considered that Moura would be selected ahead of Son if it was one of our AMs playing centrally off of Kane....Thats just what I think Poch will do.
As well as Moura has done, Son is the main man after Kane isnt he?
Honestly its not the team Id go with at all, I just feel Poch will try and play it safe.
I much prefer the idea of taking it to them and posing more of a threat.
