I will give Baez a better score than maybe most, because he had some very nice one touch passes that set up the first two goals.
I would give Hoyos a 5 or 6, but surprisingly I don’t think the goal allowed factors into that, as I think that one wasn’t particularly his fault. That was botched coverage assignments. It’s more the constant turnovers on long distribution and his inability to generally control the box.
Most of his long balls are just atrocious…
My issue with Baez is that he is a net zero player. He does some good things, but does an equal amount of bad things, so it results in a zero. He would be great if he does more good than bad.
Can we get a rating option for Tata next time, please? Like we had with Deila and Pineda?
