Taylor - 7 Parnaby - 7 Martin Taylor - 7 Ridgewell - 6 Murphy - 8 Larsson - 6 Carsley - 9 Nafti - 9 McSheffrey 7 Bent - 7 McFadden - 6 SUBS - Jerome - 7 Phillips - 8 O'Connor - 8 I felt McFadden was very dissapointing - achieved almost nothing. Carsley MOM in my book, Nafti also very good. Also McSheff looked much better, put some great balls in. Not sure why he is getting so much stick tbh . . |

I think McFadden showed his class. Gave them all sorts of trouble with quick break aways and bursts of skill. Needs to know when to pass though. He was closely marked all game and bullied off the ball by their big CB's. He will be a massive player for us this season. |

That is also extremely close to what I would have put except for Nafti - I did not see him have the 'fantastic' game others have said - it really is weird that a lot of views differ when we were all sat in the same stadium watching!!! |

Quite confused with people's views on McFadden. Until he was put on the wing he hardly had any impact on the game. Kept losing the ball and falling over. Once on the wing he looked a different class. |

I agree dan. Looked like he tried to do too much at times - but there's no doubting his ability. |

I think McFadden is going to be somewhat of an enigma. Kind of Bendtner was he will frustrate fans but obviously has talent. He probably is the most gifted player in this league, you could see with his first touches the ability he has. Today he maybe tried to do too much and whilst some of his touches were neat but I don't think his teammates expected some of them. Sheff Utd are one of the better teams in this league and McFadden took on one or two with ease at times, but he will soon get used to this league and start getting a bit more success with his play. |

Taylor 7 - flawless but not much to do, preventing him from a 10, quick off his line which was good Parnaby 6 solid at both going forward and defending. Taylor 5 average, didn't seem to have much to do but won the ball when it came his way Ridgewell 5, same as Taylor Murphy 8, always looked to get on the ball and pass it, always won the ball back, only negative too many long balls Larsson 5, wasn't noticeable Nafti 7 won the ball, passed well and kept the ball, good in his respective role but wasn't happy to see 2 defensive mids Carsley 7 same as Nafti McSheffrey 5, average, put a few teasing balls in Bent, 4 poorly controlled the ball when near him McFadden 5, tried to take on the whole team and kept losing the ball, play for the team, we know you have quality.. who are you trying to prove yourself to? tried silly little flicks also when he didn't know where his man was, ridiculous. Phillips 10 did something McFadden and Bent couldn't do, calmed down the play, kept the ball instead of lashing shots in anger, brilliant goal Jerome 8, got involved and made a lot of runs O'Connor 8, looked dangerous, quick, aggressive, made runs, good passing No one in the team played bad today. It was hard to get the ball down and play. However, I think McFadden and Larsson need to up their game. |

You raise a good point about Ridgewell Wisel, he does get pushed off the ball very easily, it happened a lot last season, he needs to up his upper body strength IMO. |

taylor - 7 - looked comfortable in goal, two neat saves, one even better. no mistakes. nice long ball at the end, when phillips scored. parnaby - 6/7 - average performace. some crosses into the box, and long balls. did what he was asked. taylor - 7 - injured most of the game, a slight limp, but did well against the striker. ridgewell - 8 - great clearances and long balls. made a mistake that almost cost us, but looked strong back in defence. murphy - 8 - nice pushing forward, helping mcsheffrey. larsson - 6 - should have done better with the free kick, in a good position. one or two crosses. looked like an off day for him. carsley - 7 - nice tackles and getting back. nafti - 9 - in my opinion, man of the match. assisting the strikers with long and short balls into the box. a great block when ?gary speed? took a free kick. looked comfortable with the ball and kept possesion well. nice passing too. mcsheffrey - 7 - nothing special. had a few blocked shots, but delivered a really good cross that just needed a touch to be in the back of the net. did ok, but never really saw much of the wide men today. bent - 7 - wasn't really much in the action, because sheffield utd's defence were rock solid today. but looked lively. also a nice header from a sheffield utd corner that he headed away. good defending that. mcfadden - 7 - nice skill. when upfront, had one run in the box. did some nice passing and lay-offs. later on the left wing, he was really good with his runs and assisting. phillips - 9 - goal taken well. before that, only had about 1 or 2 touches, but not much he can do with a good defence like sheffield utd's. o'connor - 6 - nice touches, and had a shot on goal. jerome - 6 - one nice run accross the field, not very long, but did what he had to do. |

The more he plays like that this month the better chance we've got of keeping him **thumbup If he doesnt up his game in september then it will be an issue |

Actually i think you were watching a different game, yes he did make his usual customery couple of mistakes but on the whole he played well and handled thier foward (henderson was it?) well who was probably 6 inches taller than him. You are wrong sir **thumbup |

Are you being serious? How can you write 2lines about Phillips 10/10 performace, he only had one touch. 10/10 for the way he took it though sorry but i dont agree with any of your ratings |

Seb played like a man who was voted as player of the season by all the polls and is told he won't be sold because he a key player and finds he's been put onto half pay. How would you feel? |

I think we could see a mcfadden/o connor partnership in the next game, bent for me was good he won some good headers and will score a lot in this division as all our strikers will. I think phillips still might be used as a sub for a couple of games yet as he can do what he did today. I believe though GOC and faddy would be the way to go at the moment. |

if i were put on half pay at a club i loved playing for... but was still on £4000 a week (hardly a small sum of money to get by on...) i wouldn't care to be honest, i would know the situation the club is in, and would try my hardest to get the club back up... that way my pay would go up again aswell ! As for what chris langs said about PA nomore i agree completely with chris, his ratings in my eyes dont make sense and are as though was watching a different game, expect for maik taylor - his performance was great this game, improved over last year, first save was stunning! |

As my mate said when leaving the ground, they have to tell Ridgwell about studs, he would be a much better player with them. |

interesting to read different views and opinions but how you can give Mcsheffrey a higher mark than Mcfadden is beyond me. Thought Mcsheff continued where he left off last season - no where! whereas McFadden will be too good for most players in this league :banner: |

A good win against a very solid team today, thought McSheffrey was poor considering his place is under serious threat, Bent was also poor, he was playing against a team who's strength lies in the air and he didn't compete well enough. Defence looked pretty good, Carsley, Larsson, McFadden and Phillips looked a step above as you'd expect, and what a goal, Super Kev. |

wouldn't say Bent was terrible, he had some good efforts and was close to a goal once or twice, but i think he will be replaced come the next matches, we have better forwards to try |

Thats because people have their own favourites/least favourites/scape goats so they will always look at different players in a different light. Some can do no right, the others are world beaters. |

I dont understand what was so good about Murphy. So what he got the ball alot. what did he do that was worthwhile? not much at all me and my dad counted on telly how many times his crosses or passes were either underhit, over hit or inaccurate. we got upt to 9 and that was after half time! And Parnaby foul throws :unsure: |
