How we rated the Irons

ClaretandHugh ratings man Niall McDonald gives the lads their final marks of the season:

Randolph: Felt he might have done better with their opener. Tipped Adam’s long range effort over the bar to avoid humiliation 5
Tomkins: Took no chances pushing forward. Left exposed for the equaliser and, strangely, subbed near the end 5
Reid: Looked the most comfortable of the central pairing. Less covering to do with Tomkins alongside him today 6
Ogbonna: One vital challenge early in the second half – dreadfully static for the winner 5
Cresswell: Recovered from an injury scare in the opening minutes. Not the usual force in attack today 6
Kouyate: Won the corner that led to our goal with a typical driving run 7
Noble: Middle of the road performance from the skipper. Unexceptional 6
Lanzini: Stepped into Payet’s playmaker role and acquitted himself well. Excellent corners 7
Antonio: Revelled in the freedom of his right wing role. Capped our comfortable first half with a brilliantly taken finish 8
Sakho: Looked very rusty. Missed a good chance then a real sitter. His reaction leaving the field injured can’t have impressed Bilic 5
Carroll: Missed Payet more than anyone out there. A fine mini-season ended trudging down the tunnel injured, again 5

Subs:
It says much when your 3 subs are all players probably making the final appearances for the club…

Valencia: Cross. Free header. Miss. Bemused look. 3
Emenike: Not a left winger for sure but he was stuck out there 2
Moses: Brought on to push Antonio back into defence! Go figure 0

See you on 7th August!!!
