How we rated the Irons

|

james-collins-435648Adrian: Couple of important saves but rarely troubled by a toothless attack 7

Tomkins: Steady in his new position but never truly tested 6

Collins: Outstanding all afternoon – threw himself in front of every threatening attack – Man of the match 8

Ogbonna: Fine performance – solid alongside Ginge 7

Creswell: Competent and steady without ever finding the usual attacking impetus 6

Noble: Fairly anonymous for the most part but it was that kind of game in midfield 5

Kouyate: Ditto Noble 5

Song: Still not quite up to pace it seems but grew into it and produced one killer pass before being subbed 6

Zarate: Poor by current standards and subbed on the hour 5

Antonio: Didn’t follow up on last week’s promise – offered little 5

Jelavic: Little impact and reacted to opportunities far too slowly 5

Subs: Jenkinson (85) No rating, Valencia (60) 6, Obiang (73) 5
