How we rated the Irons against the Baggies

ClaretandHugh’s Niall McDonald rates the Irons

Randolph: Keeper always looks helpless when the ball goes through his legs, as it did for their first and missed out for the corner to the second 5

Cresswell: Found it hard to get involved in attack. Was stretching his right hamstring before the break and didn’t return after it 4

Reid: Calm and commanding again (apart from one tremendously wild lunge near the end for which he was booked) 8

Fonte: Nice passer of the ball. Doesn’t strike me as a marked improvement on who we already have yet 6

Kouyate: Back from the AFCON and back at right-back. Physical presence was a real asset to the side 7

Obiang: Usual industrious effort with his mix timely interceptions in and around our box and some tactical fouls 7

Noble: One of the skipper’s slowest ever performances today, with and without the ball 4

Feghouli: Never warmed to a player who wears short sleeves and gloves and still not ticking the ‘commitment’ box for me, even his attempts to encourage the crowd seemed half-hearted, but, he did score 5

Lanzini: Slow start. More influential before the break with some direct running and a great goal on 85 mins 7

Snodgrass: Impressive in the first half with some excellent delivery from set pieces. Looked to tire after the break 6

Antonio: Just the three positions today. A concerted effort to play to his feet and turn defenders made a change when up front in the first half 5

Subs

Calleri: On at half-time the Argentinian got stuck in and held the ball up pretty well 5

Fernandes: Struggling to think of a positive or negative contribution from the youngster today 4

Collins: Arrived late to help close out the win… 2
