No chance of going up with the weak as water Nyland in goal. The lad is just rubbish.
he is just dreadful, soft as shit for that "goal" at end. take man ball and all ffs
we miss Johnstone something awful to be honest
was thinking at 2-1 up, we had made them look very average, the only moments of danger were Chester's brainfart and that throw in that bounced twice in our box
Abraham missed enough to win 2 games, keep that performance level up and we will easily make play offs
Nyland 4 - not good enough, far too soft, needs replacing urgently
Hutton 7 - unlucky for first goal, made some excellent blocks and did well on left
Tuanzebe 8 - used ball very well and stepped out of the back well all night
Chester 7 - one of his best performances of late, but then a mad moment near end coming for a header and ball bounced over him
Taylor 6 (Elmo 7), Bar a stupid free kick before half time Taylor was solid again until injury, Elmo was very good when he came on at right back and is having a fine season
El Ghazi 8 - mixed in first half but brilliant in second half with an outstanding goal
Hourihane 7 - solid performance again, has started passing the ball with his right foot which is positive
McGinn 9 - outstanding throughout, best player on park by a distance I thought
Grealish 7 (Whelan 6) - quiet in first half but improved in second, good that we arent as completely reliant on him, Whelan competed fine when he came in
Bolasie 7 (Kodjia 5) - similar to Grealish improved after half time, put a goal on a plate for Abraham that should have finished the game, Kodjia was lively when he came on I thought but failing to make an effort to track run at end was crucial, drifting out of contention
Abraham 6 - cant fault his hold up play or movement tonight, its vastly improved, had a shocker in front of goal unfortunately
