8) It was another game in which there wasn’t much to be happy about, but young Jorrel Hato continues to catch the eye with some solid performances at the back — once again deployed out of position, at center back. Not many players have shown improvement since Liam Rosenior’s appointment, but Hato is one of the few exceptions, and that’s certainly nice to see. His future isn’t at center back, but that sort of versatility can only help.
2. MARC CUCURELLA (5. 9) Speaking of left backs, Cucurella seems to be rounding into some decent individual form, which is also good, though it also isn’t too likely to ever be game-changing.
3. ENZO FERNÁNDEZ (5. 6) Enzo does have the capacity to be game-changing on a regular basis, but luck was not on his side this time.
