How we rated the Irons against Frankfurt

|

Hughie hands out his narks

Areola Really warming to the guy. No chance with the goal but fine beyond that and I do like his quick distribution 7

Coufal: One of the better defensive performances and always tried to make things happen down the right 6

Dawson Got a bit of a run around in the first half and was nowhere near the scorer, adequate second half 5

Zouma Came closest to a goal when effort cleared off the line, Defended ok but you have to wonder where he and Dawson were for the goal 6

Cresswell Justifiably sent off via a piece of horrendous defending when he got the wrong side of the last man, pulled him back and after the VAR room became involved saw red. Let everybody down but chiefly himself 0

Rice Led from the front – couldn’t have worked harder in the most difficult of circumstances 7

Soucek Got forward at every conceivable opportunity and defended well 7

Fornals Worked hard and was tenacious but Frankfurt were always calling the shots in midfield

Lanzini: Off early after the Cresswell disaster -no chance to show his game 4

Bowen: The usual tremendous work rate particularly un the second half but the odds were always against him in such difficult circumstances 6

Antonio: Looked worn out from the first minute – contributed very little 4

Subs

Johnson: Came on for Cresswell and certainly didn’t let anyone down 6

Benrahma Came on too late to make a difference Mr Moyes. Tried hard 6

Yarmolenko Late arrival No rating

David Moyes: Kicking a ball at a ball boy and getting a red card. What the hell were you doing man

    Took so long to bring on Benrhama.

    please go, you’ve taken us as far as you can,you can’t use subs properly,use youngsters, sign players.
    thanks for getting us to the first semi final in Europe. Thanks for saving from relagation.

    How can you give Antonio 4? Completed isolated throughout, ran himself into the ground and was central to virtually everything we did that created chances. I know he’s frustrating but give him his credit tonight.
