Match Ratings

[Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot]

Given 6 - Wasn't really troubled that much, distribution terrible as usual STOP KICKING THE BALL UP FIELD

Zabaleta 6 - Gave away silly free-kicks and was picked out of possition a few times

Toure 7 - Strong made a few vital challenges, clearing needs alot of work in training

Kompany 7 - Along Toure and Lescott this season is starting to look like how Distin was at us

Garrido 6 - Closed the ball down but gave the winger far too much space

Shaun Wright-Phillips 5 - Awfull just awfull for someone who is fighting for £100,000 a week

De Jong 7 - Strong and got stuck in from kick-off

Viera 4 - How he stayed on the pitch for the full 90 baffles me still

Johnson 8 - I hope Capello is watching this kid, great bit of skill when he skinned 4 or 5 wigan players

Tevez 10 - Ran the wigan defence raggid and fully deserved his hat-trick and his third goal was the pick of the lot

Adebayour 7 - Held up the ball well and picked out some good passes which caused a threat to wigan

Bellamy 8 - Came on for Shauny and made the difference in the second half made Wigan very nervy

Onouha 6 - Not much to do but run down the clock

Sylvinho 6 - Same as Nedum didn't have much to do but see the game out

Given - 6 - Pulled of a nice save, but his long balls upfield baffle me.
Zab - 6 - You've got to give it to him for his work rate, but I can't help but think we should be looking to bring in better during the summer.
Toure - 6 - Just solid.
Kompany - 6 - Fairly cool and rarely troubled. Don't really see the class in him but he'll do for now.
Garrido - 6 - See Zabaleta.
Vieira - 5 - A tough night. Seems to chase his tail for long periods.
De Jong - 5 - Sits too deep for me. I understand he's there top break up attacks, but for me he has to protect the back line, rather than become part of it.
SWP - 6 - I actually thought he was lively tonight. That said, I'm kinda getting sick of screaming 'You can't run through him!'
Johnson - 7 - Like SWP, very lively, but unlike SWP slightly effective too.
Adebayor - 5 - Looked rusty tonight. I thought his first touch constantly knocked the ball too far away from him, allowing the defenders to nip in.
Tevez - 9 - Dragged the rest of the boys over the line kicking and screaming. After being unsure when we signed him, he still surprises me with his ability even now.

Bellamy - 7 - Did ok and was certainly busier and more aggressive than the man he replaced.
Sylvinho - Too late to mark.
Neds - Too late to mark.

People are giving Tevez a 9??

what more does a player have to do to get a 10 from a match.

Tevez...10

Garrido deserves more, in my opinion he's on pair with Bridge, none of them are specially good at defending but alright going forward.

PV actually tried to pass the ball forward not sideways like Barry and De jong. He's the only creativity we have except from Ireland who we al knows are way off form. I rather see PV in the middle with De jong or Barry than De jong and Barry together.

Oh, Teves - 10, what more can you ask for? get a grip guys.
