We usually like to reserve our glances at WhoScored‘s stats page for after a win, but in this case we just had to see who had been judged to have suffered most in our stunning 2-5 defeat to West Brom.
They had Edouard Mendy as our bottom rated player with 5.1, which does make sense to a degree – if you’re a keeper and let in 5, you’ve probably not done well.
On the other hand, it’s hard to pick out a particular error the goalie made, he was just left dreadfully exposed by the defending ahead of him.
No wonder then that the other two lowest rated players were Thiago Silva – who got a 5.2 for his half an hour before a second yellow, and Kurt Zouma, who got a 5.8.
We would have had Jorginho a lot lower than his 6.1, but overall this was such a collective defeat. The team’s structure just crumbled, and that was the issue more than any individual failings.
