Hughie hands out his marks
Areola: Forced into a couple of early saves before being at fault for goal when coming off his line and failing to collect plus a dreadful extra time error 2
Fredericks; Early error led to big chance for Harriers and barely improved all afternoon 2
Diop: Utterly appalling – subbed at half time 0
Zouma; Back foot throughout first half – nothing to speak of in second. His level really dropped in this game and looked as though he has suffered a real injury setback towards the end 2
Johnson: One of the better players but not great – subbed second half 3
Noble: Showed next to nothing 1
Benrahma: Tiny threat in a tiny performance. Close range shot blocked for one big chance, another saved near end of normal time. Lots of time on ball – nothing to show for it 3
Vlasic: All promise – little performance 2
Bowen: Barely noticed him but for one fine well saved shot 3
Yarmolenko: Let us not hear his name again. Ghastly and the disgusting attempt for a pen was embarrassing and shameful. Offside for assist on disallowed goal – please LEAVE! o
Subs
Dawson: Class apart from the horrible Diop but that wasn’t hard 5
Rice: Where would we be without this young man? Best player on park for us by far 8
Soucek: Little impact – disappointing 3
Cresswell: Lots of good work down left 6
Fornals: Fine ball for Dec’s goal 5
