How we rated the Irons

With Niall McDonald still on his holidays Hugh rates today’s performances.

Randolph: Zero chance with the goal – the usual important saves – and best on the books at moment 6

Nortveidt: Lucky to stay on after high second challenge. Apart from that best performance for us. Impressive 7

Reid: The usual seven out of ten. Top bloke, top defender 7

Ogbonna: Caught out and nervous when they got in behind but some important interventions 6

Cresswell: Best display for some time. Great at the back and some penetrating runs and crosses 7

Antonio: Non stop running, volley against the bar and always a menace 7

Kouyate: Always in the thick of it but failed to make a really big impact 6

Noble: Injured in the second half and after that we carried a threat from midfield . Pedestrian performance 4

Ayew: No no no…this guy has a lot to prove – ineffective 3

Payet: Lazy performance,crosses hitting first defender and few killer runs or passes 4

Carroll: Totally wholehearted but simply not getting the right service from the the sides. When he did we had our best second half chance but headed wide. Felt for him 6

Subs

Lanzini: Excellent when he arrived with good ball carrying and passing skills – faded 5

Feghouli: Still not sure what to make of him. Looks better than we he first arrived but no real impact 4

Fernandes: Very neat and tidy and comfortable on the ball. Needs some starts 6
