Lloris gets 8 after his fumble leads to their second?
Lloris gets 8 after his fumble leads to their second?
Lloris 8
Walker 4
Daws 6
Caulker 6
Naughton 6.5 good game
Livermore 5
Carroll 5 looked out his depth
Falque 7.5 where has he been hiding? Much needed creativity
Siggy 5
Bale 7.5 some class moments. Head and shoulders above anyone on the pitch
Dempsey 5 ineffective
Hudd 4 looks completely lost in midfield when we don't have the ball. Always about ten yards from where he should be.
A loss was not a fair reflection of the game as they were kept down to a minimum of chances. Conceeding two goals from set pieces in the last ten minutes is just unacceptable.
Lloris - 7 - Looks very good, hope he'll soon be our first choice.
Naughton - 6,5 - Decent performance, showed again he can make som good forward passes.
Caulker - 7 - Looked solid
Dawson - 7 - Nice composed effort
Walker - 6 - Obviously lacks confidence, but no major mistakes.
Bale - 7,5 - MOM and always looked a threat.
Sigurdsson - 5,5 - A few good passes in the second half but other than that, he was far too anonymous.
Carroll - 6 - Reminds me a bit of Joe Allen, excellent at ball retention and always seeking to receive the ball, but you wish he'd try a few more through balls.
Livermore - 6 - Good defensively, didn't contribute with much else.
Falque - 7 - Looked promising, although not everything he tried was succesful. Constantly tried to be involved and create something.
Demspey - 5 - Played out of position, but was very poor other than that including a missed pen.
Sub: Huddlestone - 6,5 - Decent performance
AVB - 6 - Bar Dempsey up top he made the right selection. Although I hate that we alway drop so deep whenever we're a goal up. Just kill the game with a second goal for GHod sake.
Just out of curiosity - what exactly is his position? I har people talk about positions quite a lot but what are his or Sigs positions for that matter?

Dempsey apparently plays best just off the striker. Personally i've always thought he was an overrated footballer that offers slightly more in terms of general play than kevin Nolan and tim cahill. All 3 offer little to nothing but have the ability to pick really good attacking positions and score goals.
Sigurddson? oh he's great. He can play off the striker, a deeper cm position, could even do a good job on the wing (highlighted by the Chelski game). Man he's gonna be some signing.
Sig wasn't sarcasm.
