Charlton v LFC player ratings

[Guest AnfieldGrass]

Dudek Nervous. Wasn't a pen. 2nd goal typical Dudek. 5

Finnan Solid as usual. 7

Carra Carra 7

Hyppia Solid but looked tired. 6

Traore Good. 6

Cisse Usual self. One or two good runs, mostly ineffective. 5

Sissoko Sloppy. But tried. 6

Alonso Out of sorts. Decent 2nd half 7

Kewell Good. 8

Morientes s****. Invisible, poor vision. 4

Crouch so so for him 6

 

subs:

Fowler Intelligent positioning as expected, not fit 7

Riise Looked sharp, reinforced his place in the starting 11 7

Kromkamp Solution to the RW problem??? 7

 

Overall:

 

s****. No passion. No finishing (obvously) 6

 

Ref:

 

Typical performance from a modern day ref. 5

[anfieldgaz]

thought Cisse had plenty of running and energy to be honest.

[redjersey]

No one worth more than a 6, apart from a 7 for Cisse who skinned Spector time afte time and got a good proportion of his crosses in.

 

5 for Xabi - worst I've seen him play this season.

think momo was one of the better players tonight and did what he was asked to do -- breaking up play, retaining possession, tackles after tackles. poor contribution, true, but that's xabi's job. and i don't think xabi had a good game. his second half performance was slightly better, but average.

[Tones]

Cisse was probably our best player. No more than a 5 or 6 to be honest. Morientes was really poor. One shot and nothing else all game. Finnan has been our best player over recent games and was solid enough again tonight. No more than 5s for anyone else.

[Guest Syfer]

ref kept giving you a bunch of easy freekicks, sissoko should stop diving. cisse was one of your best players tonight, plenty of running and crosses

Like I said, his usual self.

 

 

Cisse MOM? far from it sorry. Krom got in more crosses in the last 15 minutes than Djib managed the whole game.

Poor distribution you mean? Don;t get your point, you saying Momo is not meant to be an effective distributor of the ball? He was ok, but just as many sloppy plays as good ones, his energy levels were ok I guess and for as many good tackles he conceded as many fouls and was on the ground a lot.

That's the worst appreciation of the iambic pentameter i've ever seen.

Not at all, watch the full match replay, how many effective crosses does Cisse actually effect? not many. For a 14 million pound footballer, Cisse looked about 3 million. As usual.

There's no way I'm going to watch that again. Once was too often.

 

But Kromkamp got in more crosses than Cisse? Like I said, nonsense.

[Guest Syfer]

ref did keep giving you easy freekicks = true

sissoko should stop diving = true

cisse was one of your best players = true

 

whats the problem

[4411]

Dudek 6, its obvious defenders are not confident having him behind them.

Finnan 7, good game as usual

Traore 6, ok

Carra 6, decent

Hyypiä 5, exposed and cost us the 2nd goal for lack of pace

Kewell 8, had an excellent game

Cissé 7, he's a good athlete but not a footballer but he did his best on the flanks

Alonso 8, his set pieces were inconsistent but his overall play was excellent

Sissoko 7, worked hard as usual but poor distribution let him down and he should spend more hours practicing his shot

Morientes 5, worked hard but that doesn?t really matter because he didn?t score

Crouch 4, his finishing is a joke! So what though he holds the ball up here and there, he doesn?t score goals

 

subs:

Fowler 7, He comes on and our midfield gets tired and doesn?t create anything. He got himself in some excellent positions and created a good opportunity for Kromkamp. He should start the next game, doesn?t matter if he only lasts 45 min. at least we're pretty much guaranteed a goal from him ever 2 opportunities.

Riise 6, did ok for the short period of time he was on

Kromkamp 6, same as Riise

his contribution was poor when driving the team forward -- i don't blame him for that as i think that should be xabi's and harry's jobs. imo xabi was having one of his worst games in the league. harry was fine and showed up when the team ran out of idea.

Alonso 8??? Thought he was poor by his standards. And although Crouch was poor, he still did more than Morientes.

His free kicks were perhaps a joke but his overall contribution to the game was vg and he created a brilliant chance for Crouch only for Crouch's instinct not to let him score.

[Guz]

No one merited a 7. Especially the subs, what did they do. It was great to see Fowler again but he did f*** all except one moment where he held up the ball and laid it off to Riise, apart from that very very little. I'm not having ago at him in particular but I hope he doesnt get hailed as someone kind of saviour because it'll take more than that.

 

We couldnt string passes together tonight, again. Our players have lost touch of doing the basic things right. I think their goalie had about one save to make in the 90 minutes. Cisse and Kewell got the ball often but did nothing with it, ditto Xabi and Momo. And of course two defensive errors led to the 2 goals. Very poor display.

 

edit ; actually thinking about it again, for about 30 mins in the first half we played decent but lacked any incisiveness or cutting edge in the final third. After they scored we went to pot.

to be honest i wouldnt mind him being 'lazy' for 90 mins (lazy to last 90mins due to lack of fitness) because i'm sure with his positioning, over 90 mins a few runs into goalscoring positions would end up as goals and he'd prob offer the same if not twice as much more as the current crop

[Guest Aussie_Red]

I thought Cisse was very good actually, about one of the only players doing anything. I would be excited to see him start as a right winger again and he should get crossing training from the staff, not that his crosses are that bad. I thought Sissoko did a great job too?
