Howard-8-Only thing that saved us today.
Coleman-6-Pretty useless today, does he know how to slide tackle someone? Amount of times he just backs off and let's the winger in to the box.
Stones-7-Pretty solid, had Kane quiet bar that one massive mess up from him and Jags. Why were Tottenham fans booing him? Because they are strange strange people.
Jagielka-7-Same as Stones, no idea what on earth he was doing for Kane's chance.
Oviedo-7-Did his job, seen him outpace Jordan Ibe, Antonio Valencia and Oxladw Chamberlain yet struggled to keep up with Ryan Mason. Still did well though.
McCarthy-6.5-Meh.
Barry-4-I loved him 2 seasons ago, was brilliant, now? He just gives it away, gets outmuscled and outpaced by everyone, get Besic in there.
Kone-7-Held it up well, good first touch and kept the ball when needed, unlucky with his header, did everything Lukaku SHOULD of been doing.
Barkley-5-Awful set pieces, how hard can it be to kick a ball in to the box, never beat the first man. Don't even get me started on his shots, has no left foot, scored a good goal against Norwich but bar that his shots with it are beyond awful. Gave it away too much and was all round terrible.
Cleverley-6.5-Unlucky with his shot and actually offered something, hope his injury is not serious. Done well.
Lukaku-5.5-Yeah, don't know why we took him off but he was pretty bad.
Mirallas-6-Hi Kev.
Naismith-6-Riled them up, that's about it.
Deulofeu-6-Should if started.
Wow, like, wow, god was that bad, how did we not lose? Even Moyes would say that was too negative. No shape, the formation looked like a 4-6-0. Kone, Barkley, Lukaku and Cleverley all on the wing. Played for a point and got it so I suppose I shouldn't complain, we were awful still, hope Cleverley recovers soon, just please get Barry out the team.

Barkley just looks class mate ffs get off his back!

Agree with those ratings, Swan. Especially McCarthy. You summed him up exactly as I would. He's been out of sorts for all the games so far I think. Speaking of which, A few weeks ago I Drank some crazy Turkish spirit on holiday, neat, when it was supposed to be mixed with water. then woke up to find that Howard, Cleverly and Kone are now our best players. Tell me, is this Narnia?

Woburnblue-He was far from 'class' today mate, he was terrible, I am not 'on his back', I am saying he was awful today which he was.

For me strongest team
Howard
Coleman stones jagielka oviedo
Besic mccarthy
Mirallas barkley deulofeu
Lukaku

Oviedo 7 don't have a laugh gave the ball away numerous times coming inside and couldn't keep with the play defensively guess he's one you favour unlike Ross

mikedeblue-Barry, Coleman, McCarthy and Lukaku are some of my favourite players. Did Walker or Dembele go past him? Not that I can remember. I am not biased towards players mate, everyone knows I cannot stand Tim Howard and look at that rating. Ross either scores a wonder goal or hits it out the stadium, on his left foot 90% of the time it lands in my back yard. If you don't like the ratings then fair enough but to accuse me of being biased on a player who is one of my 'favs' when my other 'favs' were terrible and my 'non favs' like Howard and Cleverley did well makes no sense mate.

love Oviedo but he's awful take your blue glasses off its embarrasing

How is it embarrassing? My points have clearly gone over your head and you have clearly ignored what I said. Instead of telling me how I am biased you say exactly the sane as your original reply just with a bit more oomph. If I had blue tinted glasses on everyone would be praised. No, I rate players based on their performance from the match in question, not based on how they are my 'favs'. You think Oviedo was awful against Spurs for some strange reason, no mention of Coleman then? Oviedo definitely had a better game than him, is Coleman awful now too?. Unless you are going to construct a reasonable reply as to why Oviedo is now awful without just spouting nonsense. This debate is over. Thank. God. My behaviour has improved on this site, the ratings are my opinion, you disagree and that's fine but you then go on to call me biased with no basis for it. Maybe on another topic things will be better.

Right, mike, before things go any further, let's just leave it, agree to disagree. Closed.
