Leeds United Beat Norwich: Player Ratings – A Rollercoaster Ride!

Hey football fans! So, Leeds thrashed Norwich, right? A pretty convincing win, but honestly, it wasn't all sunshine and roses. Let's dive into my player ratings – this was a game of two halves, for sure. I mean, some players absolutely killed it, while others…well, let's just say they had a day to forget.

The Stars of the Show

Meslier (8/10): Solid as a rock. A few nervy moments, sure, but he pulled off some amazing saves that kept Norwich at bay. Seriously, that one-on-one stop in the second half? Clutch. A real captain's performance, even if he's not the official captain. He’s become such a key part of the team's defensive structure.

Struijk (7.5/10): Dominated the air, won almost every header, and his distribution was pretty slick. A few minor mistakes, but nothing major. He’s really grown as a player. I remember back when he first started, he struggled a bit more, but he's come a long way! A solid foundation for our defense.

Harrison (8/10): What a performance! His pace and trickery on the wing were a constant threat. That assist for the second goal was pure magic. He's been so consistent this season – I'm so glad he's committed to the club, seriously.

A Mixed Bag

Rodrigo (6.5/10): Worked hard, but lacked that clinical edge in front of goal. He had some decent chances, but couldn't quite capitalize. Still a valuable player, though. He's got the creative vision to unlock defenses and his passing has improved markedly. Needs to be more ruthless in front of goal though.

Aaronson (6/10): Showed some flashes of brilliance, but also struggled to maintain consistency. He could've made better decisions at times. He’s still finding his feet in the Premier League. Patience is key with a player like him. He has great energy. But his decision-making needs work.

The Strugglers

Summerville (5/10): I'm going to be honest, I was underwhelmed. He missed some easy passes and his final product was lacking. He needs to work on his consistency and decision-making. He has the talent, but it wasn't on display this game.

Sinisterra (5.5/10): Had some moments of magic, as always. But he seemed to get frustrated and wasn’t as impactful as he usually is. I think the key is for him to stay composed and find his groove again. His skill is undeniable.

Overall Thoughts

Despite some individual performances that needed improvement, the team performance was pretty spectacular. It wasn't a perfect game, not by a long shot, but the win is what matters most. This game highlights the squad depth Leeds has – even when players have off-days, there are still players capable of stepping up and making things happen. It’s a good sign for the future.
