Betis, player ratings: absences do not justify anything

Yes, Abde is not here. Neither does this Amrabat. This Isco is weak. We don’t even talk about Bakambu or Junior. But those who aren’t there don’t play. Victims are not an excuse. Betis did not lose and at least equalized but left the … Fifth place is not good news. Vallecas may be a small area but this was already known. Nobody can be happy with this gray Betis whose best was the goalkeeper and the vice-champion, a central defender like Bartra. He finished almost far from the top and needs more to aspire to what he aspires to.

This is how Betis players performed against Rayo

VALLEYS

OUTSTANDING

The best. His stop in the hubbub was miraculous. Now that Pau is back, he is moving up and growing to keep his position.

AITOR

APPROVED

The bull finds himself in all the disorders. Espino hit him in the face and foot. But nothing. Almost marked. The one who always deserves the most.

LLORENTE

WITHOUT RESERVE

Five minutes on the pitch and he left with tears in his eyes because of his injury. His leg was bandaged. Maybe I shouldn’t have forced him like that.

NATANE

GOOD

In an area like this, it seems like one man against the children. Very present in cuts and anticipations. This remains essential.

RICARDO

APPROVED

The Swiss veteran is clear. He didn’t do anything wrong and he didn’t do anything very right either. Manual to go unnoticed.

MARC ROCA

APPROVED

Outmatched at the start and flexible in duels. He was lucky at the end of these that if he passed, the grade would be fixed.

DEOSSA

APPROVED

More time on the ground than standing. A typical Fernando Hierro start but little pace for a Colombian.

ANTHONY

APPROVED

Not much for what the Brazilian has to give but at least he generated danger and attention. Of course, your plan should be repeated more, rather than a little more, and throw out the publicity.

FORNALS

GOOD

Dynamic, he almost scored from the start and moved all over the field. Replaced when it looked like he could offer more creativity.

RIQUELME

WAITING

Given the difficulty for him to be a starter, he throws away his jersey again. Small ball and only one opportunity which he missed on his last ball.

CUCHO HERNANDEZ

APPROVED

He loves to run but plays more with his back to the goal than in front. And the team needs his finishing.

BARTRA

OUTSTANDING

He entered the field very well. And he ended up celebrating every defensive action as a goal. Motivated, no one surpasses him.

THE CELSO

APPROVED

Once again hands down but he has the quality to surpass everyone. Light and shadow.

ALTIMIRA

APPROVED

He gave the team physicality when he came on to give more air to those at the top.

PABLO GARCIA

GOOD

A few minutes later, he had a good chance with a shot from inside the area. That’s the key.

PELLEGRINI

APPROVED

He should have given the team more ambition. What happened on Thursday, when Rayo was also playing, is not worth it. We must demand more.
