Ya weird one to rate playersTorp man of the match.
Can't even rank it, mve had a poor game but 2 assists.
Bta and emc had spells but both got goals.
Thomas shocker but a goal.
EMC was brilliantGenuinely think it’s impossible to rate most of the team. Apart from Torp. Best player on the pitch by a country mile.
Thomas shocking at the back but nearly scored two.
MVE honking in defence then two assists.
Kitching bullied by Morris then plays a world class pass for a goal.
Be Messi level6.5 for EMC?
What does he have to do to please some people?
7 seems a bit low after scoring 5 goals...Defending 0

It's not just the CBs tbf, if Brau is any good that'll make a huge difference as the LB position is pure wank. MvE had one of his off days defensively on the other side too.Rushworth 5
MVE 6.5 - Some suspect defending but the cross for EMC was a peach
Thomas 6 - Rescued by his "goal"

Overall a really really odd game.
A couple of peaches in the Torp and EMC goal, good work by EMC to win the penalty.
Defensive frailties and mistakes still there. Thought all 3 goals could have been avoided.
We clearly need another CB, but will it cut conceding so many out? Not sure, Lampard clearly likes playing high risk high reward footbal, lots of 2v2's against a team that didnt necessarily have much quality attacking wise.
Created a lot of chances, but they didnt low block like expected and actually tried to go toe to toe with us.
Im really surprised Brau or Bidwell didn't come on. JDS was struggling near the end.It's not just the CBs tbf, if Brau is any good that'll make a huge difference as the LB position is pure wank. MvE had one of his off days defensively on the other side too.

He's neat, tidy in possession but gets woefully exposed.He is not good enough in a back four
I do wonder if we will at times go to a back 5, play MVE as a RCB and Bidwell as LCB.Didn’t see any point in bringing Raphael on with 30 seconds left and I’d have predicted he’d start on the right if it was common knowledge that Tats would be out. I don’t think he rates Simms and he obviously favours BTA looking at game time he gets.
The confusing parts is MVE/KKH situation and LB. We have 3 LBs!
