Just got back from the game. Here are my ratings -
Davis - 6 - Some comfortable saves but fekt he was at fault for the first goal for rushing off his line
James - 5 - Not good enough (especially defensively). We are desperately missing Murty
Harding - 6 - had a good game to Williams came on but could not handle him
Jaidi -7- won nearly everything in the air
Trotman - 7 - See above
Melis - 6 - Had a good first half but went quiet in the second. Makes the wrong decisions at times
Hammond - 7 - whole hearted display gave his all
Schneiderlin - 8- Thought he was fantastic first half and at times in the second. However he goes missing at times. Did anyone notice we run out of ideas when he isnt actively searching for the ball.
Lallana - 7 - Liked the way he links up with Lambert. Still makes the wrong decisons sometimes. Great finish
Papa Waigo - 6 - Looks like he will be a hot/cold player. Was lukewarm tonight. Felt good to see someone running with the ball though.
Lambert - 6 - One a lot in the air. Might be me but thoughy he looked a little jaded
To sum it up it was an even game until they put their sub on who changed the game.
If we had made it 3-1 (we had a very good chance) we would have probably gone onto win.
Worrying that we didn't seem ready for the impact of Williams
