Toja is MOTM every game and Yi/Rhime aren't always our worst defenders. We all need to open our eyes and minds to what's really going each week. Smark,

I agree we all label guys and forget to watch everyone with the same critial eye and it’s unfair. Toja is MOTM every game and Yi/Rhime aren’t always our worst defenders. We all need to open our eyes and minds to what’s really going each week.

I thought Wags did a good job of getting into the attack, getting the ball forward (should have had at least one assist - Carlos - shoot the ball!) and yet you give him a 4. Don't get it... Much of the grading seems to be based on preconceived opinions, not based on watching the game. "Favorites" are scored higher than deserved and the current "whipping boy" whoever is currently being picked on gets the lower grade. How do you give a grade for someone in for about 8 minutes?

With Moor out, Rhine takes over at RB (8 years). Serioux played 2 years with English Championship side Millwall and then with Dynamo last year, Goodson in his 4th year and Captain Gbandi in his 5th. That's a combined 20 years of top level pro football for these guys. Scary lack of experience at the back? With Moor out, Rhine takes over at RB (8 years).

The more touches he gets the more opportunity to make good things & sometimes bad things happen. Every time he beats somebody he creates a numbers advantage. When he loses the ball he hustles to try & regain possession. You don't see alot of players like Toja in this league & if you can't appreciate him then I think your knowledge of the game is lacking.

This is crazy; Toja had his average game where he won 30 balls and gave 25 away. He created no chances on goal as the key attacking player in the middle and we again struggled the keep the ball in the secong half due partly he is constant dribbling. He works like crazy but just doesn't get much done...please lighten up on the hero worship. The Moor and Gbandi grades are too high or Goodson is too low because he save our arse on defense again Saturday. Yi made 1-2 mistakes but also make 3-4 great plays and probably earned a 5-6. Btw, YI left with a sore hamstring NOT because on poor play. Tell ya what, Why don’t you just tell us that Toja gets an 8 the rest on the year and stop reporting on him.

Toja had a great follow through but Abe was right there too. The next few game will be a test with Kenny, Drew, and many others out.
