I've concluded that I don't understand how the marks work. If zero is the lowest and ten the highest, an average performance would be worth 5.5. How can anyone in a team (apart from the keeper maybe) playing at home that loses 0-3, has only 37% possession, with two shots on target and only two corners in the entire match possibly get anything over, say, a four?
It is all down to your (and other people's) opinion, but as a guide, I put this forward earlier in the season -
1- Absolutely useless; couple of gifted goals given away, and no passes to colleagues all game 2- Awful, awful game. No effort, passion, skill; liability on pitch and cause of a defeat 3- Very poor game, gifting passes to oppo and gave at least one goal away 4- Poor game; badly off form, and not worth his place in the team 5- Barely average game; some OK passing but not enough effort 6- Average game; some good work but nothing that stood out 7- Good game; nice contribution and contributed to the team 8 - Excellent game, with maybe a goal, great save, or vital tackle or two. 9- Brilliant game; more than one goal or assist, or fantastic passes/tackles/saves and basically the reason that we won 10- I don't think I've ever given a ten, but think Mendonca at Wembley, or Deano at B'rum, or Jorge Costa at Man Utd.
Henderson 7 Solly 6 Fox 6 Johnson 4 no pace Ben Haim 1 contemptible Gudmundsson 1 his agent must have had a word at halftime cos he couldn't get a game with my pub team based on his first 45 minutes of hiding, bottling challenges and giving the ball away, ran around a bit 2nd half but the closest he's gonna get to the PL is playing FIFA on h is playstation Diarra 6 honest but nothing special Buyens 1 always pulls his punches never gives us his best Sordell levels of cynicism. Adieu Yoni et ne retourne jamias, conasse! Bulot 6 quieter game Watt 6 Vetokele not fair to rate a player who was clearly too injured to start Church 5 runs around with commitment but he doesn't have the tools at this level
Gomez n/a mystifying why he didn't start - clearly not a full back Eagles n/a no discernible interest or effort
Using that French c word to describe Buyens is horrendous. Shame on you
Henderson - 6 not much to score on. Solly - 4 playing him too much? At fault for third. Fox - 5.5 distribution is improving, up against a class player today. Johnson - 6 some good blocks, put in effort, would do better with Gomez next to him. Ben Haim - 5 don't remember much apart from his ball to Buyens Gudmundsson - 6 much better second half but struggled with players around him. Diarra - 6.5 solid performance Buyens - 4 game passed him by and at fault for second. Bulot - 6 some good touches but no end product today Watt - 5.5 some good touches but needs to simplify things. Should have came off earlier. Vetokele - 4 hope he comes back fully fit next year! Church - 4 effort but difficult to have an impact at 2/3 down and 1 up top.

Church more than Watt? Did he get an extra point for his moment of comedy gold?
