FINLEY SMITH SHARES HIS PLAYER RATINGS AND THOUGHTS FOLLOWING WOLVES 3-0 DEFEAT AT STAMFORD BRIDGE
Sam Johnstone — 3.5
Not his best. Made one or two good saves, but overall, not great.
Jackson Tchatchoua — 3.5
Did okay, but needs to do much better.
Ladislav Krejci — 3.5
Showed more fight than most, but still has to improve.
Santiago Bueno— 3.5
Similar to Krejci. Battled well, but must get tighter to his man, especially for the second goal.
Toti — 5 My MOTM.
Looked decent. Best I’ve seen from him this season. Cleared up mistakes and showed passion.
Hugo Bueno — 4
Not good enough overall. Needed to get tighter for their second goal. Not bad, not good, just mediocre.
Andre — 3.5
Not his best. Had moments, but should have done better.
Joao Gomes — 4.5
He has off nights, but mostly he’s good. Stood out for his quality. Could have been MOTM, but he can’t do it all alone.
Jean Ricner Bellegarde — 5
Did okay. Tried to carry the ball and pick passes. Can’t do it all by himself. Not bad.
Jorgen Strand Larsen — 2.5
I feel for him, our wingers lack quality. With two strong wingers, he could deliver. But he must make himself a nuisance, be more visible to defenders, and attack the box. Needs more service, and better work off the ball.
Hwang — 3.5
Not great. Offered little threat.
Performance rating — 3.5
MOTM — Toti Gomes
First half: we defended well in a back five and battled. Had one or two half-chances. Frustrating, as we never posed a real threat, but we defended well.
Second half: we fell apart. Sitting in a low block will get you in the end. We cannot keep doing this. You don’t see other sides doing it. We’re not Arsenal, and even the newly promoted teams (Sunderland, Burnley, Leeds) don’t sit that deep. Our attack can’t relieve pressure. No quality up front. Not a good half at all.
Are the players good enough? I think they are better than this. We have to hope the new manager, likely Rob Edwards, can sort it out. He has a massive job on his hands.
The problem lies with the owners. They sold our best players and replaced them with below-average options. This was coming. You cannot keep starting seasons like this. It’s disgraceful how they’ve let the club slide.
On to the next. Back the new manager. 🐺🧡
