Looks like there isn’t going to be a BFTG thread so here are my ratings:
Rafael 7 - one good save but largely untroubled.
Holmes 8 - deserved a goal. Lost his man for the aforementioned save but his attacking movement is really coming along, he looks very composed on the ball, and his commitment to win that header was immense. Even had some good shimmies.
Morrison 8 - another committed performance, gets a mark for his goal
Moore 7.5 - defended very well, didn’t give them a sniff
Richards 9 - Sky put up some stats showing he was 1st in the league for tackles, 1st for winning the ball, and 3rd for successful crosses. I assume that’s for full backs. Immense either way, great movement, and his delivery has come on immensely. Six crosses today.
Rinomhota 8 - solid, not quite at his fearless best but hard to fault all the same.
Laurent 9 - his best game in a Reading shirt, seven tackles! Plus three key passes, the most passes of anyone on our team by far (96), and 96% pass completion. An immense performance that would probably have warranted a 10 if he hadn’t been shown up by...
Olise 10 - god he’s good. Doesn’t have the sheer impact that Gylfi did but no mistake about it, he has the same talent. His vision and technique are incredible, he sees and executes passes that other players won’t, he’s supremely confident on the ball and carries it well, he has many different ways to take a player on, and he had a huge role in both goals.
Meite 7 - not his best game, but did show a few flashes of brilliance and could have had two goals with a little bit more luck/composure. We’re lucky to have him.
Ejaria 8 - magic feet. Becoming such an intelligent player. Brilliant to see so many players surrounding him and doubtless that contributes to the success that Olise and Meite can enjoy.
Joao 7 - relatively quiet with only three shots, but he won’t mind because he got that goal.
