One other poor away day for Eddie Howe’s Mags, as poor defending and a very lacklustre second half noticed us lose 4-2 at Brentford on Saturday afternoon.
Right here’s our marks out of 10 and feedback all gamers concerned in yesterday’s defeat:
Pope (5) – Conceded 4 and practically embarrassed for a fifth in damage time as Mbeumo robbed him of the ball. Robust situations for a keeper however might be upset.
Livramento (6) – Some good reads in defence and carried the ball properly, breaking ahead with tempo. Decided to tug out of the sort out on Schade for the decisive fourth objective which might’ve been a penalty and pink card. Solely concern is his restricted technical high quality, which generally impacts his capability to create.
Schar (3) – A bit far and wide. Struggled within the situations, as evidenced by dropping the flight of the ball for his or her third objective, however was additionally performed by Mbeumo for his or her 4th . Sloppy in possession at occasions too, inviting stress with a number of poor giveaways.
Burn (5.5) – May’ve been a much bigger rating line if not for some essential challenges and a goal-line clearance, however positioning was poor for his or her fourth objective and he struggled with their tempo in assault.
Corridor (5) – Allowed Mbeumo to come back onto his favoured left foot far too simply. Robust week defensively for the teenager, however his deliveries into the field are enhancing and he performed a beautiful ball in behind for Barnes within the first half. In possession he confirmed high quality, however need to mark him down for defensive frailties.
Longstaff (4) – Huge alternative beginning forward of Tonali however sadly didn’t capitalise. Rattled the bar early however after that provided nothing in possession and was unusually poor off the ball too.
Guimaraes (5) – Uncharacteristically sloppy in possession at occasions and positively nowhere close to as influential as in opposition to Liverpool. Time to persist as a quantity 8 fairly than quantity 6?
Joelinton (5) – Strong with out providing something tangible in possession. Virtually half means by way of the season and he’s began each recreation, but appears he hasn’t fairly discovered his greatest type.
Murphy (7) – Feast or famine. Two first half assists confirmed what he’s able to but in addition fades out of video games simply as shortly. Improve desperately wanted, though he was one of many final gamers accountable for right this moment’s defeat.
Barnes (6) – At fault for Brentford’s second objective with a poor giveaway then redeemed himself with the equaliser. Was the most important menace within the first half and created an opportunity Murphy headed over.
Isak (6) – Received his customary objective however butchered an opportunity to place us 2-1 up when he rounded the keeper however waited too lengthy and was dispossessed by Flekken. Couldn’t get into the sport within the second half.
Subs:
Tonali (5) – Failed so as to add a lot off the bench. Howe would’ve been hoping for way more.
Gordon (5.5) – Got here on in his favoured left wing place and supplied loads of power. Had one alternative however ballooned it over the bar.
Wilson (5) – Fairly nameless. Depends on service into the field and acquired none. Appears to be like a good distance off his greatest type, though this may occur after so lengthy out and an absence of pre-season.
Almiron (4) – Did nothing to persuade anybody he shouldn’t be the primary one offered in January. Uncommon alternative however wasteful when in good positions, firing one respectable probability properly over. Perspective can’t be questioned but it surely may very well be his last recreation for us.
Trippier (5) – First contact was a free kick in a harmful place which didn’t beat the primary man. Didn’t get significantly better both.
