I am away from home for a memorial service and will not be home to watch the game until Wednesday. Could someone please give me a run down on who played well and who did not?

Tbh it was a poor performance. Barry got a goal and VAR robbed him of a second so he got MOTM, otherwise I personally thought Armstrong was strong, Jack just Jack so dangerous. Brainthwaite made a block in injury time but I didn't think him & Tarks looked totally solid at back especially in air when they pumped it up.
I'm not a Myko fan but he was solid to be fair and Maitland Niles was too.

I thought Pickford had a solid game on the whole - made some decent saves. Kept us in the game and preserved our slender lead again.
Defence were found out a few times and we were lucky not to concede.
JB played as expected but looked uncomfortable in the last 20 - hope it's not another injury.
I'm not Myko's biggest fan but thought he did alright today - one of his better games. AMN looks like a good acquisition for £3m. Shame we didn't buy him 3 years ago.
Garner still looks like he's coming back from injury and not fully fit but him and Armstrong worked well together. Armstrong always seems to want to run towards their goal which is refreshing.
Jack was his usual tricky self but Johnson didn't have a great game. Spurned a sitter after some good footwork at the edge of the box but missed the entire goal when 1:1. Apart from that, I didn't feel he offered much.
Barry is Barry. Not up to speed with the Prem yet but he did really well to adjust his body and score. He remains our best option (well, only option) but still not the answer.
KDH is a worry. He had some dodgy moments and missed a sitter. Moyes needs to hook him around 65 mins if he played like that week in; week out. Why not give Alcaraz a run out?
Dibling played well which was promising. Crossed for KDH to miss his sitter.

Agree totally - I forgot to mention Dibling - thought he was immense on Wednesday and very good again today but only got 15 mins which is disappointing.

Dibling starting to look the part, Armstrong getting better each game, Pickers is still the best in the country, Myko seems to have turned it around, AMN looks a decent stop gap.
Jimmy needs managed game time, KDH not up to speed so far so maybe give Charlie more minutes, Johnson just isn't as good as McNeil, .

Many thanks everyone. Looking forward to watching the game. Great that Dibling is getting some time on the pitch, maybe we will see more of him in future games.
