Palace Player ratings and reaction

[mandela8]

Any win is a good win but made that harder than it had to be. Looked a little toothless in attack, other than a couple of decent spells.

Ramsdale - 6
Invited unnecessary pressure at times but made the saves he needed to and should've made.

Zinchenko - 5
Ok. But sloppy at times and looked pretty weak defensively at times.
Gabriel - 7
Solid overall. Can be a little panicky in possession.
Saliba - 8.5
Pretty fuckin impressive. Solid, good positioning mostly and neat on the ball.
White - 5
He wasn't very good. Zaha is a tough opponent though but White just never fills me with confidence.

Partey - 7.5
Very good. Slows entire attacks of theirs down at times. Good with the ball trying to play through the lines, occasionally.
Xhaka - 5
He's just not very good. Nothing egregious and any other player doesn't get booked for that dive.
Odegaard - 6
Never really got into the game.

Martinelli - 5
Missed an absolute sitter and other than his goal that he barely squeezed in was pretty shite.
Jesus - 6
Fine. Worked hard, which is the minimum requirement. Made a couple of good runs that weren't found.
Saka - 3
Standard Saka performance. Where chances went to die. So slow to get the ball away. Gave it away almost constantly and even the OG came from his abysmal crossing not even beating the first man.


Very strange no subs were made until so late.

Eddie - Hench/10
The utter fuck?
