Singling players out for special praise feels like an entirely natural (and helpful) thing to me.
Fans debating, scoring and comparing seems in built into all (most) of us too.

It’s probably the manner in which it is done: “the goalie had a stinker and should have saved the first goal” versus “the goalie has had better games and might reflect on whether he might have stopped the first” that divides people the most.

But I agree that really the most important thing is how we did as a team, and that can be hard to pin down. Grinding out results by collective graft and patience is a hard thing to score.
