Anderson and Gibbs White had very little influence on the game when compared to Rogers, who seems to be getting all sorts of stick.

Rogers seems to be getting blame for some here for their goal. He certainly was sloppy retaining possession on a couple of occasions in the lead up to their goal, didn't help but unfair to blame him for goal being conceded on other side a few plays later. If anything McGinn didn't cover himself in glory trying to block that shot. First half, Rogers delivered a lot of quality with three cracking plays. That's levels above what he has shown for weeks. Second half was poor though and that miss was incredible.

Completely forgot MGW was on the pitch.Anonymous.

Onana was good but I thought McGinn was the difference. That nous and physicality, perfect against their big lads.

Onana wasn't great during the bad run, but since SJM returned he's played really well. Having to carry the midfield alone is too much for him but alongside SJM and the likes of Kamara, he's great.

A word for Onana who I thought was excellent yesterday, won the battle vs Anderson and Sangare quite easily, his progressive passing was also good which was needed, given Youri didn't have his best game. He's a cheat code defensively - makes so many interceptions, tackles and covers ground so well.

Agreed, he was everywhere yesterday.

Agreed - I thought he went missing a bit during the Great Midfield Injury Crisis but has been much better the few game

Agree with that wrt their goal. tThere was a long gap after Rogers losing possession as it went across the pitch, and McGinn could have been much closer to him. I thought Watkins late miss was far worse than Morgan's, as the latter had a defender sliding across to try and block it as he shot, whereas Ollie was straight through on goal.
