Lincoln City 1-2 Chelsea, Player Ratings: George says good night

1. TYRIQUE GEORGE (6.6)

No one was particularly good in this one, though many were particularly bad. Others had a few moments of quality — or in Ty’s case, two moments of absolute quality: the goal to equalize right after half-time was spectacular, and the assist for the winner was very good as well.

Enzo Maresca keeps insisting on playing George as a center forward (even when an actual center forward would’ve been eligible, as it turns out, in Marc Guiu), and while George is certainly not a center forward, he has found ways to contribute when given those opportunities. And that’s always a great quality to have.

2. FACUNDO BUONANOTTE (6.3)

Similarly. Mr Good Night had himself a few moments of absolute quality, including most notably on our winning goal, which clearly meant a lot to him. Hope to see many more in the future.

3. PEDRO NETO (5.9, sub)

Most of the subs were … fine … in this one, and we can always count on Neto putting in the work.
