Raya 7 - No chance with the pel, and was a bit of a silly arse near the end dribbling outside his own area but ultimately at that point, what matter


Timber 7 - Struggled a bit at times with Saibari and Lang but got the ball rolling so to speak


Saliba 8 - Couldn’t be got past


Gabriel 8 - Made Perisic his bitch


Lewis-Skelly 7 - Lucky not to get a second yellow (although the first one was harsh so balances out). Made sense to bring him off, although he did well in crowded penalty area to get the ball to Nwaneri


Partey 6.5 - Blotted his and our copybook somewhat by giving away a silly pel, but overall performance was full of energy


Rice 8 -Full of energy and running


Odegaard 9 - Plenty of space to operate in, but with some of his passing and movement saw something of the old Odegaard this evening


Nwaneri 9.5 - Utterly wrecked PSV


Trossard 7.5 - Combined hard work with a finish put on a plate for him by Calafiori


Merino 8 - Lovely finish albeit from horrible defending m



Subs


Calafiori 8.5 - Goal, assist and a pretty good defensive shift


Zinchenko 7 - No pressure on the ball, so seemed to enjoy himself out there


Tierney 7 - Doing the lap of honour prior to leaving in the summer


White 7 - Being reintegrated slowly


Sterling 4 - Oh dear



As stated in the match thread it was hard to appraise this performance, don’t think it was our best performance this season (I think that was the game against Sporting Lisbon) but it was a good one. Equally PSV are probably the worst team we’ve played in Europe (I can remember us putting 7 past Standard Liege in cup winners cup but don’t remember much about the game). Defensively that was the biggest act of self harm since Richey Edwards carved 4 real into his arm (and then insisted on stopping at a McDonald’s on the way to the hospital so his fellow band members could get something to eat)

But no reflection on us of course, I’m still mystified as how they got past Juventus over two legs
