Brentford v Wolverhampton Wanderers Participant Rankings

Brentford v Wolverhampton Wanderers Participant Rankings

Johnstone 6 – conceded 5 however arduous responsible him for any and he made plenty of good saves. Maybe given the whole absence of any form of aerial presence within the defence he ought to have left his line and tried to assist on crosses however deserved much better than he received from his defence.

Semedo 4 – Forbs did not assist however he was torn to shreds. Okay on the ball, (as to be honest many of the facet have been all through the sport) however a significant a part of the wholly insufficient defensive effort.

Dawson 4 – Is it a season too far? Had no reply to Brentford’s aerial energy though not helped by the truth that we now have so many quick gamers within the group and Brentford had quite a lot of giants who seemingly needed it a lot extra!

Toti 3 – Oh expensive. A very hopeless first half efficiency. Obtained higher within the second half however is weak within the air and poor on the bottom each with and with out the ball. He’s fast and powerful however simply not ok in the meanwhile. Disgrace as final 12 months with a youthful fitter Dawson and Kilman holding his arms he appeared okay. Cannot be dropped although as we now have no practical alternate options – Bueno and Dawson are each far too gradual to play in a 4!

RAN 8 – I concern we could have an issue as certainly his agent can be in Jeff’s workplace on Monday demanding a transfer this January. Regarded distraught on the finish – head in arms and shirt pulled as much as disguise his tears? Went straight down the tunnel and needed to be persuaded to go over to the followers on the finish!
Did okay defensively however was very good going forwards – a category act amongst the wreckage!

Andre 5 – Exhausting to mark the remainder of the facet as no home can stand with out foundations and the again 4 have been abject! Okay, however no higher, on the ball however clearly unable to guard a again 4 from balls crossed 2 toes above his head!

Gomes 5 – Labored arduous however was a bit ragged at occasions and like one or two others appeared v pissed off at occasions – who can blame him- and infrequently, notably within the second half after we may need received again into the sport with a bit bit extra composure, misplaced his cool and self-discipline!

Lemina 5 – Better of a modest midfield 3 however taking one mark off for the third objective when he handed straight to a Brentford participant unmarked 8 yards out when he had on a regular basis on the planet to clear. Nonetheless regardless of enjoying 20 minutes or in order a ten i.e. out of place, (GON why oh why waste considered one of your finest gamers enjoying him out of place!) he labored his socks off and led by instance. One other one wanting removed from completely satisfied on the finish!

Forbs 4 – Was good for the primary 10 minutes or so going ahead, (even then did not work arduous sufficient to assist Semedo), however received completely misplaced thereafter within the maelstrom flying round him. Is likely to be okay in a greater group however in the meanwhile does not do sufficient going ahead to compensate for his lack of defence. Suspect he isn’t one for the trenches we’re in now – though discovering 11 match gamers which are could be an issue after yet one more disastrous summer season switch window.

Larsen 6 Works arduous and actually tries to hyperlink play. Nonetheless a yard or 3 too gradual to play on the break as certainly we can be going forwards? Our lack of competent defenders signifies that sadly we have to play extra of them and play deeper and with much more positional self-discipline and organisation – can GON instill this can he be given the time to take action? Obtained his objective so arduous to be too important. Should do extra on defence from corners as he’s considered one of our few gamers over 6ft!

Cunha 7 One other elegant participant who seems completely fed up however in his case not simply with group mates. Picked up the ball and ran at defenders, linked play and labored tirelessly. He did not need to be on the dropping facet. Nonetheless his ire additionally fed by two occasions that the ref did not see or if he did did not deem enough to take motion.
Firstly taken out off the ball by Collins with a forearm smash to move that may have been a pink if the ref had seen it, (what does VAR really do?) and secondly would have gotten a pen if he was Salah at Anfield when introduced down after a protracted mazy run that noticed him knocked off the ball as he was in on objective – by no means going to be given to an away group from the decrease reaches of the league sadly however that’s the recreation!

Subs:

Hwang 3 – barely touched the ball and appears hoplessly out of his depth.

Guedes 5 – light-weight and must work more durable however has nice contact and is clearly a participant however like Forbs most likely not fitted to the blood and grit we’ll want going forwards

Bellegard 5 – Was much better than I anticipated though that could be a low bar. Labored arduous and did okay in his cameo position

Ref 6 – did okay however Collins was a v fortunate boy to get away with a cynical block on Cunha and their pen was definitely no clearer than the one he did not give us.

GON 1 – Okay, he has been dealt a v unhealthy hand with a very unbalanced squad, albeit one which most likely has as a lot expertise in it as final 12 months’s one and def has extra depth – though not in the fitting locations! However the facet after 7 video games goes backwards and lacks even the appearance of of an organised defence. This can not proceed!

Solutons are very arduous to search out given the paucity ( effectively it seems with Dawson probably “completed” that we now have none!) of competent premier league high quality CBs. Perhaps strive considered one of Andre or Lemina at CB alongside Dawson and Bueno? Semedo, Toti as FBs 2DMs and Cunha and RAN enjoying off Larsen. All concepts nonetheless are tinged with insanity and desperation as we merely do not have a CB worthy of a spot not to mention 2 or 3!
