How we rated the Irons against Brentford

Hughie hands out the marks

Fabianski: Made a couple of extraordinary saves and was in no way to blame for the goals. Top stuff 7+

Coufal: At least this warmed him up nicely for Lyon. Looked rusty defensively at times but – although not at best – offered more going forward 6+

Dawson:  Had a tough afternoon and like Cresswell was left watching from a throw in that led to the second goal but the man rarely flinches 6

Zouma: Did ok until injured – fingers crossed he’s ok for the game on Thursday 6

Cresswell: Not one of his best obviously and like Dawson may have some responsibility for that goal 5

Rice: Worked really hard but he’s playing the odd poor ball and getting caught out. Tough to judge against his amazing standards but looked totally cream crackered at the end with a wild shot over the top 6+

Soucek: Everyone knows I love the bloke but should have scored with a header and in general was less than average 5

Bowen: Offered very little by his standards on a day when he was forced to track back rather than move forward 5

Fornals: Plenty of hard running and space finding plus played the some decent passing 7

Lanzini: It was as predictable as day following night he’d be subbed for Benrahma leaving Rice and Soucek outnumbered in midfield. Not one of his best games 5

Antonio: This one up situation will eventually find most strikers out but Mikey with no service on offer was never at the races and if only he had a first touch

Subs

Benrahma: Same old same old. Plenty of runs before being stopped and the odd decent ball in or played off. He’s not our answer 5

Diop Another who looked rusty at times but no serious errors and did his job 6

Vlasic: Looked strong and willing vut like Mikey got no service in that toug as hell one up job 5
