PLAYER RATINGS V AFCB

Sunderland lost their fourth Premier League game in a row yesterday, at the hands of Bournemouth. An early goal from Marcus Tavernier and a red card for Kevin Danso set the tone for the afternoon, before Evanilson finished any chance of a draw off a few minutes into the second half.

ROBIN ROEFS: 7/10

Not at fault for either goal and made a few good saves. One or two nervy moments but he’s one of a few who can’t be ashamed about his display.

NORDI MUKIELE: 7/10

Carried on after picking up a knock and made a few key interventions. Like Roefs, had his worrying bits but was mostly good.

KEVIN DANSO: 1/10

A large factor in the first goal and got himself sent off under poor circumstances.

OMAR ALDERETE: 1/10

Played a role in both goals, especially the second with an awful pass back to Roefs.

REINILDO: 4/10

Didn’t cover himself in any glory particularly but was nowhere near as bad as some.

GRANIT XHAKA: 3.5/10

Lethargic and didn’t seem to have his head in it.

NOAH SADIKI: 4/10

Some of his midfield work was at least passable but very poor going forward.

TRAI HUME: 4/10

Defensively, alright. On the wing, awful.

CHRIS RIGG: 4.5/10

Had a few bright moments but was clearly forced into doing too much and couldn’t cope.

ENZO LE FEE: 4.5/10

Similar to Rigg really, didn’t have anyone to provide stuff to reliably.

TIMUR TUTIEROV: 3/10

Feels cruel but he was clearly out of his depth and is nothing like a lone striker. Hopefully he doesn’t think about this one too much.

SUBS:

LUKE O’NIEN: 6.5/10

He was far better than either of the other centre backs.

HABIB DIARRA: 6.5/10

Almost set up a goal but no one could get to his ball.

JULES AHOKA: 6.5/10

Looked bright, worth a start on Thursday.

THE MANAGER: 2/10

Team selection and setup awful, even before going down to 10. Substitutes were the correct ones to make but we needed a couple of others to come on.
