V Wycombe
Hart - 5.4 not much to do, but unconvincing in what he did do.
Japhet - Did ok in first half, not sure why he came off, but sticking Sissoko there was utterly pointless. Can only hope this wasn't a tactical move, if it was, it will hurt Japhet. - 6.5
Sanchez - Still got that one bad mistake every game in him, but looked fairly comfortable before and after the goal, where he should have done better - 6
Toby - struggled for long periods, looked well off his best and as the commentator kept saying should not have kept getting so close to who he was marking as it made it easy for him to use his strength and unnerve Toby. - 6
Davies - did ok, nothing outstanding, really looks one-dimensional now. - 5.5
Winks - playing alongside Sissoko is a mistake, but tried to create forward impetus, got little support for long periods, looked so much better when PH came on, took his goal well, really was the tempo making from midfield. - 8.0
Sissoko - he was once again Sisosososo - thought he'd been subbed in second half, waste of time energy and space - 5
Lamela - worked hard, but for little reward, his decision making still lets him down badly - 5.5
Moura - tried hard, to little effect most of the time, he is another whose decision making is pretty poor. We really need to move him on.
Bale - showed much better, looked fitter and showed he still can have a turn of foot, he clearly needs competitive minutes now to sharpen up, but I was encouraged he may yet step up and make a difference to our season - 7
Vini - the less said the better - 4
Subs:
Hojbjerg 7.5 - makes being a DM'er look easy
Ndombele 8.5 - simply a genius and our best hope for an AM who can score goals - I think he has the taste for them now.
Kane - 6, did ok
Son 7 - gave us that much-needed injection of pace that forced them back onto their heels.
Rodon - pointless sub, no idea what it achieved.
Jose - Got the subs right, but again don't understand why we aren't better prepared or why they all like like to strangers to each other in games like these. But we won comfortably in the end. - 6
