I don't think anyone had a very poor game today. I just think collectively we are poor for the above reasons.
I would rate all players a 5 today, the manager and formation a 1.
I didn't think Ralls was our worst player but we are expecting him and the rest of the team to do something that the system and their own ability won't allow. Mick had the opportunity in this transfer window to inject some pace, passing and creativity with a few signings and that would have helped the whole team. He didn't and we are suffering for it.
So I stick by my point that I think it IS unfair to pick on individuals for today's performance. There will be of course other games where that would be appropriate, but today highlighted collective weaknesses.
