I'm going to write a wider piece on where we are but in terms of ratings:
Patricio: That's such a shite effort on the first goal. If he falls over he gets the free kick, if he goes right through Paterson then he'll never get a foul given against him, if he stays at home we might have dealt with it. Otherwise didn't look great under the high ball and his kicking is actually getting worse to the point that it's an active liability for us.
Saiss: It didn't really work for me, he looks uncomfortable on that side and he left Coady to cover when the ball got played into that channel (Cardiff weren't really good enough to exploit him being pulled out). Can't say that his distribution helped us as we didn't try to play any football anyway outside of a 3-4 minute period in the second half.
Coady: Standard performance really, at least we can rely on him at the moment.
Boly: Back to his best after a shocker against Huddersfield. Shame his team mates let him down so frequently. Must have been raging that he won so many headers and then someone else didn't finish the job.
Doherty: Good finish on the goal, didn't get forward to much effect in general play but I assume this was instruction. A couple of daft free kicks in bad areas when Hoilett ran at him but not much to note.
Moutinho: Better than against Huddersfield yet never going to have much of an impact when we deliberately bypassed midfield for 85%+ of the game. Set pieces were a bit better. Still a huge concern about the balance of the midfield in certain games and last night did nothing to dispel that.
Neves: Again better than last week, this is not a high bar though. There were 2-3 excellent passes and one decent attempt from range, this is still well short of what we know he can produce though. Soft booking which will always annoy me about him.
Vinagre: He's still learning, he's not been helped by last season's "six loanees" situation which meant he had months doing absolutely nothing (he really should have been playing every week for the U23s at that point). He doesn't look wildly out of place and he will get better, and there was nothing here where you could pick at him as making a serious error. It's not as reassuring as having Jonny though and Wednesday is a massive test.
Traore: Nothing changes. You'll get anything between one and four moments where he does something - invariably this doesn't actually come to anything (which isn't all his fault but that's football, not every good run turns into a goal). Outside of those moments he is depressingly shit. Cannot see him ever being the answer and "others were worse" is not an answer FFS.
Jimenez: Not sure what happened here. Everything seemed off, touch, five yard passes, hold up play, work rate, it was all missing. By Adama rules though, presumably we can wipe off all the total crap as his header aided the goal. If he's not performing then we really do have a huge problem as he's integral to everything we try to do.
Costa: So, so poor. Refs aren't giving him cheap free kicks now, he's not creating anything, he's not beating anyone, he's not threatening to score and every time we're giving it to him, we're losing the ball. Time up for now, I like him, I'm not totally writing him off but he can't be an automatic pick any more.
Jota: There are some very small signs that he's finding a little bit of form. Clutching at straws maybe, but he isn't losing the ball every time, he isn't falling over constantly, he is getting into more dangerous areas. This is our 18 goal top scorer from last season. We need him.
Gibbs-White: Although he'll be disappointed with his effort at the back post in particular, he is still making an impact pretty much every time he comes on. Probably should have started here and it's time for him to have a run in the team now. He's one of the few that's playing with any kind of belief.
Cavaleiro: Couldn't repeat his Southampton trick of scoring with his first touch (arguably should have done). Looked dangerous though and should have been on earlier.
