Thought Davies COULD have done better on both their goals but that’s being harsh. 6 Smith had another below par game 5 Collins was steady enough 6 Souttar stood out again, good performance 7.5 Chester shouldn’t be starting 5 Mikel was good for 60 mins 6 Thompson was unspectacular, like his set pieces though 6 McClean looked like he had a point to prove, worked hard and direct 7 Campbell is starting to look like he’s brimming with confidence, good goal and all round play 8 Fletcher as always led the line well, shrewd signing 6 Brown is a good pacy outlet but needs to add more to his game 5.5
Didn’t see the subs apart from Tymons suicidal back pass

I agree with Bayern apart from Thompson - you were too generous there Davies - 6 - didn’t do owt really Smith - 5 - Lost position too often but did work hard Collins - 6 - steady Souttar - 7 - commanding again Chester - 5 pretty average McClean - 8 - really good today and a vital part of the attacking play. Mikel - 7 - Really improving every game Thompson - 1 - Dog awful game. Will never make a championship level player, he looks shit scared on the ball and cant event tackle Brown - 6 - Worked hard Fletcher - 8 - Clever link up Campbell - 10 MoM- A perfect performance. He was simply the reason we won today. Do you really think Thomson was 1/10? As in seriously? Actually... don’t answer that as I don’t need to read your reply. Against a very good side you gave him a 1? I really don’t know why I’m responding to such drivel.... crack on youth

Haha can’t remember but he puts a decent dead ball in, it’s his all round play I’m more worried about. Anything else you disagree with there?

Anything else you disagree with there? He has done but they’ve been poor these last two games. Which is crazy given we’ve got a fucking giraffe to aim at. Only Davies for the goals really. First one just a good hit. Second he’s totally killed by the pass. You could argue if he stays he’s got a better angle but no keeper there doesn’t go for it like he did.

Just felt maybe a bit rooted for the first as good a goal as it was then went a bit half arsed for the second but I don’t attach any blame for either really just an observation

I thought Thompson was disciplined but does need to develop a bit more of a presence to be effective in this league. Disappointing that one of our centre mids made 0 tackles or interceptions. Would give him a 6.
Whilst they targeted Smith a lot, I thought he was reasonable and made Henry work hard to get the balls in that he did. I thought we could’ve given Smith a bit more support. Again, another 6.
Chester again didn’t impress. He made a few decent interceptions, but stepped out of the backline AND got the wrong side of the man in midfield which gave Forss oceans of space to score the first. Seemed pretty similar to his gaff in midweek which led to a goal. He gifted them a great chance early in the first half because of his reluctance to stick his left foot through it too. Not sure there’s a better option to play on the left of the 3, although I wouldn’t have signed him after his loan and kept Bruno instead. Probably a 5 or 6.
The rest of them get 7s or above from me. Brown’s energy and pressing helped us a lot and he seemed to win quite a lot of ball and keep it in some tight situations too. Think he’ll turn out to be a more pacy Walters sort of player who’s found wanting a little when it comes to finishing.

And tbh he does push him really quite wide. I’d fancy at least half of our team missing from that angle. Genuinely.

No it’s because you haven’t got an argument and hide behind that nonsense. Laughable.

As in contributing positively to our good play in a period where we scored three goals, not directly. God you can't wait to pile on him. So nothing he did directly? What? 😂 No, I just see people saying he played well and did stuff then actually can’t back it up. Bayern I've been here too long for you to successfully wind me up lad You've watched more footy than most on here, and you know full well the impact a player can have on a team without directly scoring or assisting.

Yes defensively. Or if they make a good run to make space etc. I just didn’t see any of that today from Thompson. Indeed the defence of him is like the one of Geoff Cameron’s crossing. He did one good cross against Newcastle and it was being used 3 years later as proof he could cross. Gillingham is that moment for Thompson.

Playing below par fair enough. 6. Possibly 5. But four players at that level? When beating a decent side? And a 3. It’s attention seeking and you know it. No. 5 is average. That’s the starting point. Thompson and Smith were below average. 5 isn’t average. Ratings were defined in a panel in Shoot and Match magazines throughout the 1980s and 90s. 10: out of this world 9: outstanding 8: excellent 7: good 6: average 5: below par 4: poor 3: stinker In my opinion, the only Stoke player to ever score a 10 was Scott Barrett in the 1-0 win over Swindon in 1988. Two players have scored 3: Kofi Nyamah in the home defeat to Portsmouth in 1998, Jason Kavanagh a year later in the home defeat to Reading. I haven’t seen anyone else reach either of those extremes since then.
