I don’t know how people have rated Binks poorly, he made multiple blocks, tables and intercepting headers, particularly in the first half, as well as having to play with half a centre back next to him.

Agree on Binks but equally so many having a go at Thomas too who did nothing wrong defensively. Admittedly his passing was poor, but he made lots of decent interceptions and headers. Equally lots of loving for Bidwell and I'm a big fan but yesterday there was no marking for the free header in the first half and the goal came because him, Allen and Binks were all pulled out of position.
Cant face individual ratings, so a summary
Milan is an exceptional player.
Midfield was the problem, particularly Victor
Stoke out played us in first half.
Second half we dominated without creating chances.
Dovin, Binks and Jake were good. Banks passing standard was low.
Sake anonymous first half but improved second half. Jack didn't have an obvious position to play in first half but improved a lot second half.
Ellis should have stayed on field.
Mason-Clarke probably the most disappointing player for me. Should have left Wright to play. another day.
Disappointing result and trip to Stoke. However no need to overly worry. Need a stronger midfield is the main take from match.
