Phillips: 6 Solly: 6 Bauer: 5.5 Pearce: 6 Page: 6 Marshall: 6.5 Aribo: 7 Pratley: 6.5 Lapslie: 6 (old head on young shoulders and technically very astute. Given match time, this lad is going to become an exceptional player). Taylor: 6.5 Grant: 7
Phillips: 6. My instinct was that he should have done better with the goal. Whatever the case, he didn’t need a questionable situation on his debut as he seeks to win us over. Apart from that he was solid.
Solly: 7 - more like the old Solly.
Bauer: 6 - im marking the entire left and central defenders down a mark for both goals which were disgraceful to concede
Pearce: 6 see Bauer
Page 6 see Bauer
Marshall: 7 Grafted hard. Why on earth was he not in the play offs?
Aribo: 7.5. MOM
Pratley: 7. Not far behind Aribo but clearly knackered after an hour.
Lapslie: 5. Looked out of his depth to me but never gave up. Not sure what his natural position is.
Taylor: 6.5. Brilliant first half, invisible second. Possibly due to rustiness but hope he’s not one of those who is ok when he’s winning but goes missing when he isn’t.
Grant: 6.5 looked like a new player first half. Didn’t see him in the second.
What spirit! Made me very proud, cant go below 7 on any player.
Phillips: 7 (One soft goal, a couple of really good saves) Solly: 8,5 (Please stay healthy!) Bauer: 7 (Stood off to much before 1-1) Pearce: 7,5 (A couple of bad challenges, but mostly very good ones) Page: 7 (Asked to do too much, should never have played all nearly 100 minutes) Marshall: 8 (Despite set pieces, great preformance) Aribo: 8,5 (Clearly the best player on the pitch for 60 min, faded a bit) Pratley: 8,5 (Not fit?) Lapslie: 9,5 MOM (Unbelievable running defensively, give him the ball more often on the attack!) Taylor: 7,5 (Work on your left foot!) Grant: 7,5 (Great 1st half)
Are you Lapslie's Dad?
Thought I put 9,0, but I`ll stick with that, with all the 5- and 6-marks he is getting. He certainley did not fade, as Aribo did and Pratley fell to deep. Oh, not his dad, no.
Phillips: 5.5 Solly: 6 Bauer: 6 Pearce: 5.5 lost count number of times Bauer was covering on left Page: 5.5 Marshall: 6 Aribo: 7 (8 1st 6 2nd) Pratley: 7 Lapslie: 6.5 looked quick over the ground Taylor: 7 promising Grant: 6.5
Phillips: 6.5 - Very harsh to blame him for the goal, he was unsighted but still makes it look like he could do better. I will let him off, other then that he did nothing wrong. Solly: 7 Thought he worked hard and got himself about well, going forward needs to be more of a threat Bauer: 6 - Not dominant enough for me, didnt stand out for me. Pearce: 7 - Put his heart on the line and proper captain Page: 6.5 - Looked decent going forward in the first half, worried he was injured anytime he goes down. 2nd half didn't really notice him. Marshall: 7 looked a threat early doors and playing with a bit of confidence, tracked back well Aribo: 7 - looks composed on the ball and effortless, some touch of class about him. Still think he needs to work harder and without the ball Pratley: 7 - Solid performance, tired towards the end. Looks like a seasoned pro, knows what he is doing Lapslie: 6.5- First half seemed to get in the right areas and do all the right stuff, worked hard Taylor: 7- Looks like a proper striker, works hard and clever with the ball. Hope he doesn't drop off too much as he should be playing up top not behind Grant:7.5- Very good game, direct, tricky and pacy. Will cause opposition a few problems this season, very impressed if he can kick on from this.
Phillips: 5 . Felt he was at fault with the first goal which is why he loses a point Solly: 7 . Battled well Bauer: 6 Pearce: 7 Page: 6 Marshall: 5 Loses a point for the terrible dead ball deliveries Aribo: 7 Pratley: 7 Lapslie: 7 Taylor: 7 Grant: 6
Phillips: 6.5 at fault for the 1st maybe, but not helped buy his defence backing off. A couple of important saves and punches Solly: 7 worked his nuts off and battled to the end Bauer: 6 solid enough, but got caught ball watching too often Pearce: 7.5 a full blooded performance. Doubt we’d have conceded had he not be crocked Page: 6 an effective performance. Was targeted with fouls from the 1st minute but battled on. Marshall: 6 worked hard but his final delivery was poor. Aribo: 7.5 dominant in the first half, went wandering a bit in the 2nd Pratley: 8 this lad is exactly what we need in the middle of the park. Impressed Lapslie: 7 looked a little lost at times but this boy has quality and a good work rate. The pass to pick out Taylor, who’d strayed just offside, in the 1st half was excellent. Maybe should have scored his chance but I’m looking forward to seeing more of him Taylor: 8 very impressed by this fella. Looks a constant threat. Fast, powerful, a decent touch and always looking to bring others into the game. Dropped way to deep in the 2nd half, which negated his threat going forward, but with no subs we were always gonna be struggling late on Grant: 7.5 excellent in the first half, him and Taylor ran their defence ragged. starved of service in the 2nd half but still worked hard
Sunderland fans - 0 for booing Pearce while being treated for an injury caused by a shocking challenge. No class, but not entirely surprised by that tbf
