And Its Smith Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Felt sick last ten minutes and could hardly watch. What a game of football. Max 6 - shot saving was a 9 and coming off like was a 3 ! Tough on him as he is so young but surely the main worry now Hunt 7 Pisano 6 Kalas 9 - absolute rock. Baker 8 - fair play to him. Not played much and clearly fourth choice centre back but he was excellent Dasilva 9 - please sign him Webster 10 - I thought today that what would massively improve us would be a top holding midfielder. Seems like we already had one. Enjoy him while you can. England centre back sooner or later Pack 8 - much better than recently a bit further forward Brownhill 7 Weimann 9 - tireless and incredible Elliason 8 - delivery amazing and very sharp Diedhiou 9 - nearly a 10 but didn’t score.

CityCiderEd Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Weirdly I felt more nervous at 3-0 but confident we would win at 3-2. I s##t myself everytime the ball was launched high into the box. Max 7 still frightens me but great shot stopping Hunt 7 looked good tonight Jay 8 outstanding unlucky not to score. Baker 8 the old Nathan was back. Kalas 9 superb Webster 9.5 a Rolls Royce of a player Pack 7 much better than Saturday Brownhill 7 great start but much quieter second half Weimann 8 such a clever player Eliasson 8 kept at it all night and gave Holgate the runaround Diedou 9 no goal but what a shift he put in. Pisano 6 got caught a few times second half when they were on top. Taylor 7 did exactly what he had to do. Kelly. Just a time filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Amazing to everyone but honourable mentions: Max - some vital vital saves, even if a bit nervy off his line. Kalas - amazing even by his standards. Jay - deserved MOTM. Sign please! Fammy - best run of games all season lately, ironically without scoring! Lee - game plan and shape stunned WBA.

firstdivision Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 8 for Eliasson? A bloke that misses three sitters, scuffs two crosses from great positions, gives the ball away in positions that leave us exposed to counter. Nice left foot but little nous and so wasteful. We really should have scored at least six against a team that can attack but not defend. I’m elated we won but please don’t get caught up in the emotion of it - an 8 for Eliasson. Hilarious.

UK0wnag3 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Won’t rate them all but don’t have a bad word to say about Max O’ Leary. Great shot stopping and bold off his line. Needs a bit more nous about his off the line adventures but that’s the risk/ reward of playing young players. Loved his passion at the end.

Crimson Crayola Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I thought they were all great, but I get so frustrated with Eliason at times. He borders on the selfish and whilst his crosses are generally very good, he will never go for the easy pass, often resulting in us losing possession.

sglosbcfc Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hunt got a cheap card for a pull on a player, the Baggies then proceeded to rugby tackle half a dozen of our players without the ref getting is card out once.

underhanded Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Confused with the criticism of Elliason. Yes he lacks consistency that often comes with young players, but his crossing ability gives city much needed cutting edge, something often lamented on otib. The way he feints and then puts those left footed crosses in from the right flank...It's one of those things some players do, where you know what he'll do, but if he pulls it off it essentially becomes impossible to defend. Certainly something I want in a City team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulls90 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Max - 7 - made a good save from Gayle in the first half. Flapped at a few crosses. Hunt - 7 - great header for the goal before coming off. Gave away some silly fouls. Kalas - 8 - class. Baker - 7 - had a good game against a tough pair of centre forwards. Dasilva - 9 - hope we sign him and gutted he didn't score. Webster - 8 - excellent AGAIN and looked more than comfortable in CM. Josh - 7 - much better than recent weeks from him tonight. Took his goal well. Pack - 7 - pressed well and won his share of 50/50s. Eliasson - 8 - constant threat and pressed so well. Really like this lad and arguably our most talented player. Weimann - 7 - ran himself into the ground again and good finish for his goal. Fam - 8 - excellent tonight like on Saturday. Looks really up for the fight. Gets a lot of criticism but our best striker and one we need for this scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Some brilliant individual performances tonight and an outstanding team performance. Special mentions to Fam, Webster, Da Silva and Kalas. Some of the best shifts I’ve seen in 50 odd years. Weimann was superb in the first half too. Got used to not winning easy now following City but thought the second half subs could have been made 10 minutes earlier to ease the pressure. Minor gripe though as we won. Exhausted.

He is such a frustrating player, and so easily knocked off the ball. Less lightweight, more flyweight! I would rather have Eliasson, especially for his crossing and always wanting to beat his man, although he needs to learn some composure around the goal. That thump across goal towards Row Z of the Dolman near the end, when a ball along the ground into the 6 yard box would have caused WBA all sorts of trouble, was just awful.

Admin Ian M Posted April 10, 2019 Admin Share Posted April 10, 2019 Despite the calls for Eliasson to get stronger, he contested 16 duels last night (equal 4th highest on the pitch) and won 9 of them. That's a decent showing for me. Incidentally another City player shared his record of contesting 16 duels and winning 9 last night and he's now being talked up to representing England. For the record, Fam contested the most at 24, winning 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
