Plater Ratings v BB

[craigmcfc]

Sorry, there is a problem with Johnson.
Excellent positioning for Yaya's pinpoint crossfield passes, and great control. Then almost always made the wrong decision, or the right one too late. Zabaleta overlapped a few times and was never used.
[highlight]Having said that, it was AJ who supplied Balotelli for the first[/highlight], but from the left wing on a break.
Either he's not the quality we need to win European Cups, or he might do better on the left.
Can we at least try it Sir Bob?

As for Nige, excellent performance. 6? You're having a f. laugh there mate.

I'm afraid to say that was Kolarov, who had an excellent game and deserved the MoTM. Nige and Zaba, for me, ran him close though.

I think he is referring to the 1st chance after 1 minute

I doubt it, that was from the right wing

Hart was shit - did nothing all game

[dick dastardley]

Hart - 7- nothin to do
Zab-8- pure city player
Lesc-8- steady eddy
Komp-8- top as usual
Kol-8- wasnt askd to defend but distribution was good
Johnson-6- weak show again
De Jong-6- getting worse i dunno why
Silva-9- magic
Yaya-8- tour de force
Kun- 8- carried us through roufh spot
Balo- 8- busy even ran back to defend

Subs- 7
Mancin-8- looked relaxed for a change
Support- 9 - top notch

You have to be winding us up with the de jong assumption he was outstanding. Him or lescott mom yesterday!!!

I was caned last night - thought it was AJ. Oh well, lots of endeavour with no end product (again) - had players like that before haven't we?

Agreed on Hart - waste of time. Do we have to start with a keeper?

[Avalon]

I'm still drooling over that Kolarov cross for Dzeko... what a wonderful cross!

De Jong and AJ were great today. Overall, the team performed amazing. We had like 80%+ posession... how often have we seen that? Even for Barcelona's standard that is considered impressive. Sure, it was against BB, but to keep the ball this well was a joy to behold.

[Tokyo Blue]

Very happy with every player on Saturday. Twelve more games like that and it will be all over.

Kolarov MOM, did actually look like a footballer that day.
