Our main pass combinations were down the left wing with very little coming from partnerships down the right.
Anderson was top of our attacking stats but overall they were poor.
Only 1 chance was created and no shots on target.
Zabaleta showed our best defensive stats including 8 clearances.
Centre backs should take the lead on clearances, just 4 clearances by Ogbonna. How we miss Balbuena and his clearances.
And no defensive stats from Noble which is not good enough from a central midfielder.
Some views on individual stats
Zabaleta – The best of our defenders, low pass completion.
Ogbonna – Not good enough from a centre back when the opposition have the better of possession.
Diop – Slightly better than Ogbonna but still not good enough, needs Balbuena back as his partner to take command of clearances.
Masuaku – OK Stats if others in the defence were better, Passing stats better than a lot of team mates.
Noble – Good passing stats as always, didn’t give the ball away as i have read in reviews, but he has no defensive stats which is not acceptable from a central midfielder.
Rice – 93.7% pass completion, our highest and most completed passes. 10 Ball recoveries.
Anderson – Had our highest attacking stats but nothing to shout about. Passing was poor.
Snodgrass – Nothing to speak of.
Antonio – Ok ish but with no shots etc then no attacking player deserves any credit.
Arnautovic – Complete waste of time, lowest pass completion.
Subs – Nothing to note.
