Gunn 7, did nothing wrong.
Collins 7, struggled the last 20. Souttar 8, another good perfornance. Batth 8, I like him! Fox 8, very solid after being out for so long.
Allen 6, a bit too invisible. Mikel 8.5, MOM! Clucas 7, not bad after such long time out of the team.
Clarke 8, good game! Fletcher 6, too anonymous! McClean 7, not bad, but should have scored.
Cousins 7, did what was asked of him + a decent finish. Brown 3, useless!

Gunn - 7 - Good hands on a wet day.
Collins - 7 - would be much better at centre half.
Souttar - 8 - another good perfornance.
Batth - 1 - just for kicking the ball out when under no pressure at all.
Fox - 7 - solid enough.
Allen - 7 - his best position is pressing in a 3 Mikel - 7 - good first half. Clucas - 6 - did Okay.
Clarke - 7 - looks threat.
Fletcher - 6 - isolated and it showed. McClean - 6 - should have scored.
Brown - 0 - truly useless!

A few apps have better ratings, reading were really poor according to their criteria, mostly 5 and 6s, we were mostly 6s and a few 7s.

Gunn 6, his distribution is awful.
Collins 7, another solid performance. Souttar 7, he was far better today than recently. Batth 6, a no frills stopper who is very slow and can't pass a ball to save his life Fox 7, did very well today.
Allen 5, I really don't know what he does well apart from run around very slowly. Mikel 9, best player on the pitch by a country mile Clucas 6, did ok, hence the 6 mark.
Clarke 6, flatters to deceive to be honest, he's got bags of ability but seems a bit of a wuss. Needs to impose himself more and demand the ball more Fletcher 8, I thought he was very good, held up play and won balls in the air but totally isolated McClean 5, usual brainless contribution and usual nonstop running.
Cousins 6. not on long enough to give a true mark Brown 6, thought he didn't do too bad to be honest, put himself about and was involved in one of our better passages of play towards the end.

Gunn - 6 - good punches had fuck all else to do
Collins 6 - got forward ok
Souttar - 7 - very solid
Batth - 5 - would have been a 6 but I can’t not dock a mark for that pass at the end
Fox -6 - solid
Mikel - 7 - MOM got forward well
Allen - 5 - was ok but didn’t offer much
Clucas - 6 - a lot better than he has been
Clarke - 6 - very good first half, not so much in the second
McClean - 3 - everything broke down when it reached him
Fletcher - 5 - didn’t do much really
Subs - n/a - all too late

Gunn 6 - a couple of dodgy punches
Collins 7 - Solid performance Souttar 8 - totally commanding and good at bringing the ball out of defence Batth 6 - OK Fox 6 - OK
Allen 6 - Made some good passes but he is not the same Allen he was before injury. Clucas 6 - OK Mikel 8 - Played very well, good tackles, good distribution
Clarke 8 - Promising. At least he can beat a man. Fletcher 6 - Needs Powell alongside him. Held up the ball well, unlucky for the disallowed goal. McLean 5 - No threat Cousins - not on long enough Vokes-not on long enough Brown 4 - it didn't help when he fell over ball.

I thought Fletcher had a good game, tired a bit second half but a lot of our better stuff went through him first half.

Post by Veritas on Feb 6, 2021 18:18:03 GMT
Gunn 6 Dealt with two vicious crosses early on not much else to do
Collins 7 linked well with Clarke, under a bit of pressure late on but dealt with it OK
Souttar 8 Calm and assured throughout
Baath 6 The strange pass into touch aside was ok but you always feel a clanger is just waiting to happen
Fox 7 Solid performance particularly given first game back after injury
Allen 6 The game passed him by for the first 20 but got into it and did ok, great run and cross but Fletcher and McClean both came near post.
Mikel 8 MOM easily his best game for us strong both going forward and covering if only JMc had converted that glorious chance
Clucas 5 Drifted in and out of the game
Clarke 7 I like the look of him what an upgrade on Ince. Too much to expect to get him permanently but if he carries on like this Spurs might sanction another loan next season
Fletcher 6 Worked hard, some great link up play and very unlucky with the ruled out goal but too isolated needs Powell to link up with
McClean 4 Put a shift in as usual but quality was below even his normal inconsistent standard and he should have buried that chance
Brown 4 Just doesn't look up to it
Cousins 6 Did ok
Vokes 5 Didn't really have time to do anything but at least no howlers.

Gunn - 6, until the last 15 minutes, didn't really have much to do!!!
Collins - 6, bit like Gunn, but once Reading moved up a gear, he tended to lose his man a lot!!!
Souttar - 8, good solid performance!!!
Batth - 7, did his job well
Fox - 7, good game after such a long time out!!!
Allen - 6, did okay!!!
Mikel - 8 (MotM) cracking display in midfield, one of his best for Stoke!!!
Clucas - 6, better from Clucas, did okay!!!
Clarke - 7, good game from the young lad, looked lively out wide, but not much help to Fletcher, when we attacked from the left hand side!!!
McClean - 6, did okay, but once he starts to run, and his head drops, where he's going then is anyone's guess???
Fletcher - 6, having no support is killing his game!!!
Subs.....
Brown - 4, he'd have got more if he'd have stayed on the bench!!!
Cousins - 6, did really well when he came on, came closest to a goal for us, unlucky!!!
Vokes - 5, didn't have much time on the pitch to make a mark on the game...... Not that I think he would have!!!

Post by Deleted on Feb 6, 2021 18:33:46 GMT
Gunn - 6 - very little to do.
Collins - 7 - good player...not a Right Back though
Souttar - 8 - very good. Faultless.
Batth - 4 - guaranteed one bad error per game. Today we saw three. I think he's a bit thick.
Fox - 7 - decent.
Allen - 5 - I just don't get him. Better than last week, but that's not saying a lot.
Mikel - 8 - insane first half. Quieter second.
Clucas - 6 - didn't really notice him. Meh.
Clarke - 7 - cracking first half. Looks like the wide player we need.
Fletcher - 6 - intelligent. Isolated.
McClean - 4 - brain dead. Technically inept.
Brown - 3 - fell over the ball. The end.

Gunn 7, solid. His kicking was decent too.
Collins 7, did ok Souttar 7.5 defended well. Looks great going forward. Batth 7, decent game though his distribution could be better. Fox 7.5, very good. I like him.
Allen 6, some nice passing but gets bullied. Mikel 8, I’ve been critical recently but today he was class. Clucas 7, did ok.
Clarke 7.5. Looks a class player. Fletcher 6, not one of his better games McClean 5, committed but woeful where it mattered
Cousins 7, had an impact Brown 4, calamitous. Tries hard though

How were Gunn’s punches dodgy? agree here, and his kicking, not once did I think bloody hell Gunn what you doing? Unlike Baath.............solid game for Gunn who before getting injured was beginning to look the part.

Compared to Mikel, everyone else apart from Souttar and Collins was a 1.
Mikel was a colossus. Absolutely outstanding today. Souttar and Collins could be classed as outstanding but when surrounded by the awesomeness of Mikel, they were made to look ordinary.

Brown reminds me of a young Rahim Sterling when he first emerged at Liverpool .....can kick a ball and run fast with no positional sense or awareness. If he develops into only half the player Sterling is he'll have done well.

Gunn 6.5 hadn't much to do Collins 7 assured both at the back and going forward Souttar 7.5 back to form, good with head and on the ball Fox 6.5 OK Allen 6.5 no better than middling but part of a midfield that was dominant for large parts of the game Mikel 8 best game l can remember him playing for us Clucas 6.5 see Allen Clarke 7 still promising but take on your man more, man! Fletch 7 good hold up play, looked a good goal, faded MacLean 6 you're going to be able to pass the ball if you want to be a footballer. Useful covering off the ball down the left.

I like Clarke but just hope O’Neill encourages him to take his man on...glided past a bloke at one point with an old school “round the back” ....he’s decent. Mikel was Nnzonziesque today (ish) at times,Fletcher looked slightly sharper,Collins and Harry immense. We’ve got the showings of a decent team.

I thought we played well today and with a bit of luck and/or better finishing could have won. The midfield as a unit was much improved and Mikel was the player I hoped we'd signed.
Gunn 6 collins 6 defended well and had one good run into the box souttar 8 defended well, cool on the ball and some good long passes. Baath 6 defended well Fox 7 Defended well and got forward Allen 6 Quiet first half, improved 2nd Clucas 6 steady Mikel MOTM 8 best display yet. Didn't tire after 60 this time Clarke 7 Some good touches Fletcher 7 led the line well McClean 5 Not his day

Gunn 7 Not much to do but dealt with what he had to.
Collins 7 Didn't look comfortable when that winger was running at him, but played well otherwise. Souttar 8 Love how he strides out of defence with the ball. Batth 7 Defended well, but God he's awful with the ball. Fox 7 Good return to the side
Allen 6 Some decent passes but looks off the pace. Mikel 8* Best performance for ages. Clucas 7 steady enough
Clarke 8 Our best attacking outlet by a mile Fletcher 7 Unlucky with the offside- did some good work first half. McClean 6 worked hard, zero quality.
subs:
Brown 6 Did alright i thought, apart from treading on the ball! 🤣 Cousins 6 OK, but not on for long. Vokes N/a Only on for 2 mins.

Gunn 7, nice to have a commanding keeper who can kick well.
Collins 7, did well enough, lovely little burst into their box first half. Souttar 8 did nothing wrong, again I love his bursts forward. Batth 7, solid enough, but his passing is always sketchy. Fox 8, very good game considering he's been out for a while. Would like to see how he gets on with Matondo.
Allen 7, plenty of energy and nearly got an assist, looked better than the last few showings. Mikel 8.5, MoM, looked classy. I think no midweek game has benefitted him. Midweek games should be given to Cousins in future. Clucas 7.5, we just look better with Sam in the team. If McClean was on form I think Clucas would have done better.
Clarke 8, I like him. Not scared to take on his man and has a lovely cross on him. Do we have an option to buy? Fletcher 7, looked sharp and held the ball up well. McClean 4, a lot of huff and puff as usual, no end product today. Crossing was dog and he just looked a step behind. Needs dropping for next game.
Cousins 7, steady as usual. Needs to play midweek games to give Mikel a bit of a break. Brown 4, I feel for the lad, a lot of endeavour but his poor ball control is outrageous.
