PLAYER RATINGS: WOLVES V PALACE

SA. 6.5

Decent performance for Sa. Some comfortable saves in the first half but was unlucky with the first goal as Larsen took it off him. But overall not much he could’ve done for the second it was just poor marking once again.

RAYAN AIT NOURI.  6 

RAN was not himself today. Getting the ball in some good position but it was so frustrating when he just wouldn’t pass the ball and he ended up giving it away when we had a chance to create a good opportunity.

TOTI.   6.5

Toti was good in the first half, defended well, won lots of headers and was calm on the ball. He carried that on into the second half but was substituted at 63 minutes after the Palace goal.

DAWSON.  6.5

Typical Dawson performance assured on the ball and gets his body in front of absolutely everything. I thought he dealt with Mateta relatively well for most of the game.

S.BUENO. 7

Another good game for Santi a really aggressive defender who loves to tackle, another centre back that is very comfortable on the ball.

Santi has been a big part of some of our goals in the last couple of games a great switch of play to find Cunha who assisted Larsen for the first goal. Overalls solid Santi Bueno performance.

SEMEDO.  6.5

Captain for tonight, had a decent game. In the first half we kept giving him the ball but there was no one in front to pass to so it was frustrating watching him pass it back every time we could break. Defended well again something he has really developed over the years.

DOYLE.  7

A great midfielder, he is good in tight spaces and can pass a ball very well. I thought he had a good game today made everything tick in the middle of the park and helped out in his defensive duties as well.

J.GOMES👑⚽️.     8.5

My MOTM, I thought he was great today. He was everywhere. From tackling to driving with the ball to scoring a brilliant goal, he is a very consistent performer for us and he is key to the way we are trying to play. 

SARABIA.  5 

On his day he is wonderful to watch, but today he got his big chance in the team and blew it. Two massive chances to put us ahead in each half and wasted both of them. He picks up some great positions but I felt he was drifting too far centrally which meant we had not width on the right hand side which hindered us at points in the game.

CUNHA🅰️.  7

Some people might say he’s lazy but when he gets the ball he is hard to stop. The assist for Larsen was inch perfect and the driving runs he provides are fantastic. Another solid performance from Cunha.

LARSEN⚽️.  7 

I really like Larsen, I thought he did well today. Held the ball up well again and had some nice interchanges with Cunha and Sarabia. However I’m still not sure what he was thinking for the first Palace goal, Sa clearly shouts to claim it and Larsen completely ignores it and heads it into danger. Although he made a mistake and put it right with a composed finish to put us level.

LEMINA. 7.5

Did very well when he came on, contributed towards the second goal and his overall play was great. He’s not looked himself for the majority of the season but he was back to his best tonight.

GUEDES🅰️.  6

I thought Guedes played well, got an assist the Gomes goal and his overall play was good. He makes some wonderful runs but rarely gets the ball played to him. I would like to see him start next week. He also need to get some new boots as he was slipping over every 5 minutes.

BELLEGARDE.  6

Bellegarde did ok when he came on for Toti. 

He put a good cross into the box for Larsen whose header was comfortably saved by Henderson, he did well supporting RAN defensively as well.
