Maybe worst performance of season. Rotten really in the second half particularly but maybe our most important win of the season. Dirty rotten beautiful win especially with Palmer missing from a yard out last night.
Martinez 9 - peak of his powers again. One outstanding save but dominant throughout in our box.
Bogarde 6 - very tough spell just after half time but got through it, not a right back
Konsa 8 - quiet night really but calm and composed as usual
Mings 6 - defended fine but distribution a massive problem for the team
Maatsen 6 - ok and nothing more. Never really threatened to get in behind them
Onana 3 - never like seeing him facing our goal under pressure but thought he was pathetic tonight. Newcastle performance seems an age ago
Luiz 5 - strong first half I thought but gassed quickly after half time and stayed on too long
Sancho 5 - decent first half but appalling after the break, time nearly up
Buendia 4 - one shot but anonymous apart from that, bit flat lately
Rogers 5 - got Baleba booked early but seemed leggy tonight. Loads of poor decisions on the ball
Watkins 4 - main problems were elsewhere but increasingly apparent his best days are behind him
Barkley had some nice touches but can't run in midfield, Bailey meh enough but nice corner for the goal, Tammy didn't improve things one iota, Alysson was ok on his debut, Lindelof should have come on way sooner
Emery 6 - down 4 certain starters fair enough but didn't like our team selection. Made a bit of a mess of the subs I thought but three points.
