 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the player ratings for Manchester United's one ever to one great performance, great performance by Evan and Oatafodd, with the very difficult circumstances, lots and lots of injuries and obviously difficult circumstances that we haven't been very, very good recently so Man United have been quite good recently but I think the first thing to say, the tactics were also quite good as well from Duncan Ferguson, women in 4-4-2 sort of caught them as well by making it think it was a five at the bath, at times in the first half we looked like we were pushing up just a little bit but then we quickly sorted that out. Man United maybe will tell me just get this to go forward so they can play on their counter-attack but I think the message got through to dropping so yeah, really pleased with that under the circumstances. John Pickford, I've given John Pickford a six, I thought he could have been stronger at times with his kicking was on and off, I actually think he could have done a little bit better with the goal, I don't think he moves his feet quick enough, I don't think he moves his feet to get over quick enough, listen loads of people will argue with me over this one no issue, I just thought that he could have got a little bit closer to, don't get me wrong it needs to go finish, I just don't think he got anywhere near it to be honest. So I've given him a six. Sheamus call my face, getting back for Sheamus after injury and being out of the side, I've given him eight, I thought he played really really well considering who he was up against, I thought he defended really really well. I thought he was disciplined, showed the leadership that we needed, never got caught too many times, a couple of times he got maybe the wrong side but he never really gave too many far's away either I don't think, not that I can remember. I was always in the right place, I thought he had a really good game considering it was his first game back so I've given him an eight. Look at Dean on the other side, I've given him a seven, obviously went off injured, thought he'd done alright up to them but obviously had to go off injured with the groin injury and now he's a major problem with two games in the week. I can't really see him making either game to be honest so that's disappointing. Yeah, he mean it was also his first game back as well. I've given him a seven and a half. I've actually given him an key, seven and a half. I thought he were both. I thought he both were always in the right place at the right time, never lost their position. Okay, first half, a couple of times I could just mention, maybe he got too high up the pitch and allowed to get behind them but he soon rectified that and they did really well and kept the shape and that's what it was all about today, keeping the shape. I'm not letting anyone get behind them. After a little spell in the first half I thought we settled down and I thought they did really, really well. Never really allowing anyone to get past them. I think Pickford has one save in the second half to make which was a good save but they made sure they were always putting blocks in and they were never getting dragged out to leave space in behind because that's what Man United wanted to do. There was a lot of discipline in there and they showed it really, really well. Into my field, making Hallgate a given, when I started I thought he was being considered, it was his first game at the centre of my field. I thought he was and again was in my positional sense, centre of my field is not an easy to position to go into and just play. You know if you're playing full back or whatever it's a lot easier, that's to do one thing, centre of my field you can get dragged all over the place. You've got to have a good football brain to play centre of my field to make sure you stay on your job and I thought he did that really, really well. It wasn't just like a stop at either, he showed some really nice touches and trying different things to just keep the ball and move the ball into space and get us up the pitch. So it wasn't just a case of being at another centre of my field, another centre defender in my field. He really showed some really nice technical touches as well to get us going. I thought he was excellent. Tom Davis, I've given him a 7, Tom obviously hampered by having that early booking which was silly rarely to do something so early in the game like that. There was another one where he did something just on the edge of the box which was a little bit, you know, it was only a far but you know what rest are like now. But I thought he had a really disciplined performance without doing anything major because he couldn't because but I thought there was a level of maturity to just keep the shape, get back, get behind the ball, not diving. And that can be, you know, that can be very tempting when everything's going well and when your manager's filling you loads of confidence. You know, there's a tendency for players to just go jumping in all over the pitch but he didn't do that so I've given him a 7. I liked a Wobie, I've given him a 6. I thought off the ball he did quite well, I thought on the ball he was, wasn't great. He put one good crossing in the first half. It was a little bit like last week, I just thought he'd give the ball up a little bit too cheaply. But off the ball I thought he did okay, I thought he again got back into shape. You can't imagine how important, well that's so important especially in the way games is just those first five yards getting back into the shape. It's huge, huge when you're trying to keep a disciplined performance. Every single player and it's the players like a Wobie and Bernard, you've got to do it more than anyone because they're not used to it. They go up the pitch and then have a tendency to just jog back. Duncan Figgs in his last oldest place to get back, get behind the ball, get a good shape so the opposition can't break you down. So I've given him a 6 and as I said off on the ball I just thought he was poor. I just thought he'd run into a few blind alleys, a bit like last week. I've given him more of the benefit out this week because he was away from home. Bernard on the other side quite similar, I've given him a 6.5. Quite similar, but he was trying to get the tackles in. I just don't think, probably just not fit enough. Not that many games of football recently come on sub last couple of games. So really difficult for him to probably have those fitness levels that he's required but he tried to get his foot in. He did the job he was asked to do again. It's going forward, not brilliant, nothing really outstanding from him. Maybe lost the ball too easily at times when it was better to just keep it. But again, it's that off the ball shape that I thought him and Nairobi did quite well today. With Charleston I've given a 7.5, always thought he was a threat, always thought he was dangerous. Actually now I'm going to give him a 8. I'm going to give him a 8. I thought on the ball and off the ball was always good for us. He got the tone early on when he went running back to break up. And I think he hit his ankle in the process to break up the play. And then on the ball just got started getting more intelligent. The link up to him and him and Dominic Arvillian is really, really good. He's got different strengths and I think you see that when they're on the pitch. Charleston wants to get the ball and Caledwell. The only disappointing thing I would say about him today was is that he tried to take one basacar on three times. And the end result was always the same. It was like a challenge that he couldn't help but go. Unless one basacar is really, really good. Well, he's probably one of the best in the Premier League for one-on-one defending. He always seems to time it right. And I just thought like once, twice yet, but the third time I was just thinking. Just put a ball in the box, but it was like this challenge I want to beat you. And that's good. I can understand that. You're a young player full of confidence you want to take people on. I just thought that maybe on the third time because they just smashed a ball across the box or something early. But I suppose it's about showing the players marking you no fail, is it? You know what I mean? One basacar reminds me of the young Tony Hibbers, if I'm perfectly honest. So he's got a great future ahead of him. So, yeah, with Charleston. And again, always a threat. And unlucky not to meet, you know, not to get on the end of a couple of crosses as well today. And Bob McAvelin, I've given eight and a half. Again, outstanding, got in the highest face for the goal. You know, could have been disallowed, I suppose. Just one and all, like a bull in a Chinese shop, if I'm perfectly honest. Duncan Feggson has shown him the red rag and he's bought into it. It's almost like he's needed someone to give him that license to go out and just be like a classic number nine. Like other managers might have said to him, no, no, do pressing. Like Duncan said to him, no, go out there and hit a few people. You know, leave a little bit on them. You know, they'll leave a bit on you, but that's the life of being a centre forward. He's running, he's working hard, he's closing down. He wants to be the other number nine. This is something I've always said about Dom. And I understand why other people haven't necessarily bought into it, because his performances haven't bought into it. But I always remember that man's city game, Cumin's second game. He just batted company oil game. And I don't think we'd ever quite seen the levels of it maybe a couple of times. And I just thought, that's the player that I know is in there. Maybe playing up front on his own. That's the suit of him. Confidence managers actually want to do different things. But I think in like two games under Duncan Fawkeshire, I think we've seen like a proper old fashion centre forward. And maybe the days of old fashion centre forwards are on their way out. But for me, I think that's what we've seen and he's been leading from the front. And you can understand why, you know, at the end of the match, Duncan Fawkeshire has put his arm round him and telling the fans to sing his name and not Duncan's name. And that confidence that Duncan will have given us, it must be absolutely huge. So I've given Dom a caffman an eight and a half. The Sub's Bains, I've given seven and a half. Obviously he played a lot of the game and I thought he did really, really well. Stuck to his task, he got forward as well. Still, you know, he's not a slouch, he still tries to get forward. Very disciplined. And to see him and Coleman on the pitch is amazing, isn't it? Absolutely amazing to see them both going. We started the decade and we ended the decade with them. Moise Keane. I've given Moise Keane a six. I'm not going to sit here and go, oh, it was terrible or all this. I don't know. Listen, I'm not the person who's given the instructions to tell him to go out and do that. I think Duncan Fawkeshire has come out and said he's told him to play on the right and he's not his position. So I don't know what the reason is he took him off. Duncan all gave different reasons and you can understand that. But I was giving him a six and he went on there and he wanted to impress. He didn't quite work. People saying he was blowing out of his arse and he didn't look fit and all those kinds of things. I mean, that'll happen if you're not playing. So I'm not going to have that go with that lad. I'm not, you know, I'm not the manager. The manager made a decision and he stuck by it and there's reasons behind it. A lot of people are calling Duncan for all kinds and he will. But he made a decision. He made a decision and that's football isn't it? That's football and whether people agree with it or not. He was 10 other players out in that pitch working their arses off to get a result there. So let's focus on the positives and not on one thing that happened in the match. And the arse I've given six as well. He run on, probably run around a little bit and done mad stuff because that's what he always does. Imagine if he'd got the winner. Oh my God. Oh my God. Imagine if he'd got the winner. That'll give him a six. So there you go. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. You agree, do you disagree? I don't think I've been overly harsh on anybody to be honest. I don't think I have. I think I've tried to be fair. But you know, you'll have people out there that have different views of the game. That's fine. That's fine. I've got no issue with that. So let me know your thoughts in the comments. Make sure to check out my match reaction video.
