The Phoenix Report Card: Midfielders: Grimes' struggles, Rudi's excellence and Gboho's breakthrough
13.11.26, 06:22 8 Minute Read
Yesterday, we ran the rule over Coventry City's goalkeeper and defenders in the first instalment of The Phoenix Report Card. Today, we turn our attention to the midfielders.
From the players expected to take the Premier League by storm to the summer arrivals tasked with adding quality, creativity and goals, there's plenty to assess after ten matches. Some have made the step up look relatively straightforward. Others have found life in the top flight considerably more challenging. But who has exceeded expectations, who has delivered what we hoped for and who has fallen short?
As a reminder, the ratings are based on each player's individual ability, the expectations surrounding them and their performances so far this season. In other words, this isn't simply about who is the best footballer, but who has performed to the standards we should reasonably expect of them.
