GET CARTER – 7/10 – After a ropey start babysitting Liam, the Yankee finally got to grips with the Yankees and dominated them. Two glorious headers at either end signalled the big mhan had had enough and was taking charge. With the right partner today (*cough* the Pole! *cough*) he’d have snuffed their threat completely.

CALMAC – 6.5/10 – With Arne fading and Reo ethereal, Calmac was left to dig and scrap and agitate. Which he’s great at. Trouble is, while he’s doing the dirty deeds there’s nobody to conduct the orchestra and the churning crucible of our midfield delivers no golden overtures. When he did finish with railing Raskinstiltskin and got space and snatches of time on the ball to create, he opened them up. But too little, and finally too late. Operation protect The Skipper must become a priority or we don’t function anywhere close to capacity.
THE TERMINATOR -5.5/10 – Almost his season encapsulated here; looked class and instrumental for the opening half hour, then came the young player affliction of falling out of proceedings and losing the pace and flow of the game. Not far, though, from that adjustment and having him run the show for the duration. Yes, naysayers, wait and see.
HAKUNA HATATE – 6/10 – Like a memory of a dream that eludes you minutes after waking, Reo drifted in and out of the game’s dreamscape, lurking, almost there but not quite, until his last waking act nearly won it all with the interception to put Daizen through.

I think Idah was rather part of the problem yesterday, in spite of his goal. It’s not that he hadn’t tried, but many of his actions (for example, his pass into Forrest after a counterattack) came so delayed that they weren’t really dangerous anymore. Ironically, the only situation I recall when he didn’t think but just acted was the goal … (Still, by no means I’m implying he’s not good enough, or we should get rid of him. But he appears to be overthinking things recently.)
You are implying he’s not good enough, maybe your over analysing things
with this game over and the league well and truly won, Brendan should look at a different set up with JOTA and KUHN OUT, maybe 3 5 2 ? IDAH up front with MAEDA PLAYING OFF HIM ,Vicars, Trusty and Scales at the back {extra height required} two extra in the middle to HELP Calum ?
Idah is the problem, the team is too static with him in it as they wait for him to move. He needs to be sold as soon as anyone falls for brendan’s incredible “minutes to goals” ratio nonsense that he spouted
