Lush Vlad Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I feel like I am one of his biggest critics on here. But then that is more my perception of his attitude this season and just my personal preference for a different playing style. All that said. I think he is a nailed on B, if we are talking in this country. Are there many better left wingers than him in the Prem? I’m not so sure. He has been inconsistent this season, mind. Bar that 9-10 game stretch. But you can say that about most of our players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Gordon’s a straight B. Don’t think he can ever be an A as he doesn’t have enough to his game but I think he’ll be a B for years to come even though his level for us this season has been below a B often Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Very straight down the line B, albeit an out of form B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I've swung between a B and a C a bit here. Last season a definite B, but I think he has been too inconsistent this year and on this year alone I'd have him as a high C. At Everton he played a bit at right wing but he obviously doesn't favour that now to the point where Murphy is a better option. On the left he has pace and directness and is a definite asset. Forget him as a back up striker. He also does seem to fluctuate a bit based on his confidence and attitude. The England snub obviously affected him, so he seems to need to be in the right place mentally. And that's before his daft sending off which will affect the whole team in a cup final. On balance, just about still a B. But he's now one of our better players that I wouldn't be as devastated to see leaving if we got a good offer.

The Prophet Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Despite not being at his best this sesson, he still has 9 goals and 6 assists in all competitions. Pretty good going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Yeah, and I might be being a bit harsh there as the whole team has been a bit inconsistent. I still have him as a B, just a bit more replaceable now if we do have a squad refresh in the summer. All that said, I wouldn't much fancy playing against him either, so there's that.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Talk of him leaving is surely ridiculous. A summer where we have to buy starting wingers for both sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Hes a B. He could absolutely be doing better this season like, but he's still a B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I don’t think it’s attitude problem, mental strength instead. He badly needs fans support Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 A B who will be a lot better when there is attacking threat on the right flank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 B, but very close to A IMO. Only thing stopping him from being that is more goals in final third which the elite world class wingers bring. He gets downplayed far too much by our fans. Guys output against the top sides is bloody great, it’s just about getting it consistent across the season which I don’t think is far off.

midds Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Pretty solid B but he's probably closer to a C than an A in all honesty. He can be brilliant but hasn't produced it enough this season really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cf Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 1 hour ago, Shays Given Tim Flowers said: A B who will be a lot better when there is attacking threat on the right flank. This is probably true of quite a few in our team to be fair. For Murphy's strengths he's an obvious weak link which allows teams to focus their efforts elsewhere.

Cf Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Updated my vote to a B. I still have my reservations but agree with lots of the posts here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) B too. Missed the earlier votes. Broadly agree with the polls. I'd upgrade Lascelles to a D, unless we're assuming he'll be worse after this injury. Wilson I find hard to grade at all til we've seen more of him since his return (poor so far, but it's not been many minutes). Tonali I'd drop to B.

GEFAFWISP Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 C. He is a good PL player in a team that isn't challenging the top places and contributes to it. Think he's probably topped out potential-wise but game intelligence / savvy may improve with age even if his physical attributes start to decline. His injury record has been very good for us which is a big boon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedder Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 He's a B. Still one of the best in the league but his decision making and end product are frustrating at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
