Hey guys. I think this is a great idea and I'd be glad to contribute to it.
These are just a few members that I think should be included in the rating panel:
Andy, Jeeks, Juve_Kosova and Zlatan for sure. Isha and Tom usually tell it like it is so if they are available then that'd be good. I haven't seen Baggio or Holdon around much recently so the verdict is still out on them. Vinman, Azzurri7, Seven, Espectro, Cronios and Dominic could do the job as well. ZhiXin and Rami are also capable.
Apart from the list of raters the rating system must also be thoroughly discussed and decided on. Will we be working with whole numbers only a la Skysports or .5s like the Italian newspapers? What exactly is a good rating and what is a poor one, decent one, excellent one, etc? Some may not understand what I mean by that but Italian newspapers tend to rate quite harshly and 6.5 is regarded as good whereas in England 6.5 is an average performance. The MoM is usually given between 7 and 8 in Italy while it is not uncommon to see a player get a 9 in England. Perhaps we can have a basic format with general comments that relate to a rating and then we can match the players' performances to the rating by means of the comments. This is what I mean:
4- Very poor, dismal performance.
5- Disappointing, definitely wasn't his day.
6- Average, not too bad but not great either.
7- Good, played a solid game.
8- Difference making, a very impressive showing.
9- Awesome, did very little wrong and a great deal of good. MOTM calibre.
10- Out of this world, an unbelieveable performance.
By having a base we can easily weigh up the players' contributions and performances and match them to a rating. What do you guys think?
