Peter H Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Morgan in the first half but gave it to Martina. Looked great tonight, hope he keeps it up. Could have given it to Keane, Pickford, Baines, Lookman, Mirallas or Gana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Martina still looked like a headless chicken from where I was stood. Gave it to Gana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Given it to Lookman, great attacking threat in the first half, worked well with Martina and was our most dangerous player. He gave us real impetus. He was not as effective when he switched to the right, and looked a little bit rusty, but gave a massive challenge to the manager to leave him out. Thought Gana, Morgan, Klassen, well everyone else played really well. Klassen is looking sharper and better with every game. We tired in the second half, and went to sleep again. Nice to see Besic come on and do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Nobody an obvious choice this time. Gave it to Pickford, because he did everything he needed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Gana. I thought it was one of his best all round games yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Could have been most players tonight. Gone with Gana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Keane, with Morgan very close, loved the way that they sent those 30 yard passes out to the wings. Keane always looks very composed in the games we've had so far, going to a great buy for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Tough one this, for positive reasons! I went Gana for his all round game over a full 90 minutes. I thought he had a solid game. One of those where you think there is more than one if him on the pitch at times. Lookman was ace in the first half but faded unsurprisingly in the 2nd with his lack of game time. The entire back line was solid too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Pickford when required always top class, going to take something very special to get past him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Gana. Could have given it to Pickford, Keane, Baines, as well.same for me, throwing Lookman into the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Gana. Whole backline played well. Starting to trust martina - Pickford's kick in the 72nd minute though was class. Made some good strong saves, got the well out of danger which is positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Keane was a lot better in this game that his clumsy first showings. Likewise Cuco looked like a footballer this game. Got forward well but I wouldn't risk him against a team with decent wingers. If Klaassen is given that much space we're gonna score a lot of goals this season. Him and Rooney link up so much better than Barkley and Lukaku, we could see some great fight football in front of goal similar to Arsenal/City when they are on form. Lookman was very frustrating. Kept trying to do one trick too many. Need a bit more maturity before he's playing 90 minutes. Pickford pass of the day ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Gana - excellent again. Special mentions to Pickford and Keane for once again solid performances. Lookman was very good for an hour then went missing completely - really encouraging performances in patches though. Final mention to Cuco the not so much of a clown today... played quite well actually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Gana. Absolute class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Gana for me , can't believe Coco ( no that's not a spelling mistake) is getting a mention in this thread . Thought his defending was woeful again tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Based on the first half, the best players were Martina, Lookman, Gueye, and Baines. The weak links were Mirallas and (despite his contribution to the second goal) Klaassen. I'm sure the latter will improve over time, but I'm quite disappointed with Mirallas: It's not that he's a weak player, but too often he makes the wrong decision and can be sloppy. But for MotM, I choose Lookman. Not everything he tried came off, but he's a real live wire. Edited August 18, 2017 by Cornish Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for MotM, I choose Lookman. Not everything he tried came off, but he's a real live wire. I just think Mirallas is getting noticably slower these days. Didn't mind his decision making mostly (think he's better at this than Lookman for sure), but he just doesn't carry that threat on the ball that he used too. He either needs to develop a good partnership with Baines when played on the left, or get games up front playing with someone pacer like Sandro or DCL.
