Player ratings for the first preseason match vs Birmingham. (not doing 3rd group)
First group:
Guzan (6): didn't really have much to do, was good under pressure.
Ronald Hernandez (6): played pretty good as a LB, he combined well with Xande
Williams (6.5): very good with the ball, i liked seeing him being vocal
Gregersen (7 (bias idc)): is scary fast as a 6’4 CB, very good on set pieces and seemed to pair well with Williams
McFadden (5): didn’t look too good with Brennan, was kinda invisible
Armas (7.8): so good with the ball at his feet, made a lot of great passes, good crosser too. (rated higher because i didn't expect him to show out like that)
Muyumba (7): average Muyumba performance
Firmino (7.7): very good performance in his 10 role. WE MIGHT BE COMPETENT WITHOUT ALMADA NOW!!
Brennan (5): like McFadden, seemed invisible for the entire 30 minutes. needs more time
Xande (6.7): played well but couldn't get past the first man at certain times, which is fine its the first preseason game
Giak (7): good goal and did everything he needed to do
Second group:
Cohen (7.5): excellent distribution and saves. Was so close to saving that first goal (not his fault)
Russo (4): definitely was the worst player of the day BUT that's to be expected. Winger turned full back, I didn't expect him to play well in the first place. First preseason game with the new club, I hope to see him vs Memphis.
Abram (6): not gonna lie i do not remember anything he did…
Cobb (7.9): probably my MOTM, he didn’t put a foot wrong all match.
Lennon (7): did Lennon things
Jay Fortune (7): was good, I really like his game as an 8. Super calm under pressure, makes everything look easy
Dax McCarty (5): super rusty, made a bad play that led to a goal. First preseason game so it doesn't really matter as much but we need to not do that
Wolff (5): like Brennan, invisible
Etienne (5): thought he would play better as a 10… boy was i wrong
Saba (7): should’ve scored, created tons of problems for the Legion defense.
Thiare (6): was visibly frustrated after he got subbed off. He got no service for the entire 30 minutes it seemed.
the 2nd group seemed like they haven’t played with each other in like 3 months… oh wait. I think they’ll look better vs Memphis.
