    Player ratings

    Worth wasting a couple of minutes on this to put your own scores in. Interesting to see what other fans think of how well our players have done so far.

    How did Yedlin not get a higher rating? Injury? I think he's been class and will only improve from now. Doubt he will stay here for more than two years from now.

    Depends on takeover I reckon.

    Because he'll only improve under Rafa, adding in a solid defensive aspect to his attacking forward and i agree he'll like become a very saleable asset.

    yedlin wont progress under rafa as quick as he would under many other managers ,because a major part of his game is attacking
    and rafa holds him back
    the last game of the season him and atsu tore them apart playing attacking footy

    they got round the back more times than a mackem scout teacher

    this season they seem to have been held back

    I do agree Yedlin seems to have been held back and whilst I'd rather see him being allowed to get at teams, Rafa's style is what it is and I'd rather have Rafa than not so defensive organisation over attacking flair is what we have to accept.

    As for Yedlin not progressing as an attacker-his main job is as a defender and he's still a wee bit shaky positionally at times and his decision making can be a bit wonky too so if Rafa is reigning in his attacking instincts to concentrate on his defensive duties then surely that's a good thing.

    Yedlin´s doing well but he needs to work on his crossing.
