Amazed Wolves, the saviours of football, are ranked lower than Man Utd, who were dirge. 

[Fox92]

Evans wasn't that bad. First half hour, yes, but he grew into the game.

[Jaspa]

Chilwell & Kasper underrated. Wolves overrated.

Agree with the rest though, you don't expect someone experienced as Jonny Evans to be that shakey in the first 20minutes; still he figured it out and finished solidly

[kingfox]

Wilf only 5th with 7.07

When you consider Morgan got 5.50 last weekend, the Evans rating is generous. He was much worse than Morgan was last weekend who didn't really make any mistakes. Certainly not gifting the opposition  several chances as Evans did early on.

In the first half Evans was all over the shop but in the second he didn't put a foot wrong.

But the ratings are over 90 minutes. He made more than enough chance-gifting mistakes than should be acceptable from any defender in the first 20 minutes.

 

The only reason we were 3-0 down by 20mins due do Evans mistakes were solely down to poor finishing from Wolves and a superb goal line block from Chilwell.

 

If that performamce had been Morgan, Simpson or Amartay they'd have had much, much lower ratings.

 

Evans' rating is very, very kind considering what Morgan and Amartay got rated against ManUtd.

Evans rating was generous, he was diabolical 

 

Do agree with the manager confidence though - he puts in a better job than last week, more people want him gone than last week

Yeah like you said, the ratings are over 90 minutes.

Once we and he settled into the game he was absolutely fine and didn't give their striker an inch.

I think i'd have given him a 4 for the first half an hour and then a 7 or 7.5 for the rest. I think 5.05 is a fair reflection of the game.

 

I think it's more that people over criticised Morgan and Amartey than under criticised Evans.

Am I missing something with all these Wolves 'chances'? Aside from the Chilwell block on the line, weren't all of their other shots (all of the ones which hit the woodwork, anyway) from outside the box?

Yeah they only really had one genuine goalscoring chance.

Absolutely. Some great long range efforts, but people are carrying on like they missed a bunch of sitters.

Love these polls. Democracy at work. From the only people who matter. And normally spot on.

Forget all other newspaper and website player ratings. These are the business. Just a shame we have to wait so long for the results.

[The_77]

Not sure that Wolves’ average rating should be below ours.

Think you’re being hard on @DB11 who does this in his own time voluntarily. Besides, people have to be given time to vote.

What about the Morgan wayward pass that could have cost us a goal and got Amartey a yellow??

Don't mean to be hard on the good fellow at all. Quite the contrary. As I said, these polls are great. It would just be nice to have the results sooner while the game is still fresh in the memory. I mean, how long do you need to cast your vote (before you've forgotten what you've seen)? I always do mine within 24 hours of the thread appearing.

Not everyone logs on daily though, so giving it a week is enough time for everyone to get in their votes, which in turn will give a clearer reflection of how FT members vote.

To be fair, a bit more luck, they would have been a coupe up before we even woke up.

 Wolves are no Saviours but a decent side, who on another day could have beaten us comfortably.

 We are not firing anywhere near what we are capable of, but we need to solve the problem like wolves, be more clinical in front of goal, and find that final clinical pass, as we are sloppy at ties.

 Again not slating us, if this team clicks like it looks like it could, we just might have a good season.

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

Evans stank the place out for 45 minutes, how is 5/10 underrating him? He looked like a deer in headlights on numerous occasions

It is useful to garner voting from those who actually went to the match rather than who saw/heard it broadcast. The matchgoers get a different and better view of "off the ball" play, positioning, fitness and tactics, and are unbiased by commentators and pundits.

I was at the Wolves match and broadly agree with the scores. We need more cutting edge, and I hope that Puel brings in a new striker in January, one who suits his style of play.
