How we rated the Irons v Juve

CandH ratings expert Niall McDonald hands out the points at this afternoon’s prestige friendly against Juventus

Adrian: Let in three but made several sharp saves. Always encouraging the team to push out 7

Antonio: No defensive aberrations today. Didn’t get long pushed forward after the break unfortunately 5

Reid: Back in his less-preferred right sided role. Not sure who he was blaming for their second as he was drawn to the ball, turned and left on his backside without any other influence 6

Ogbonna: Eased back into the team and understandably needs more game-time 5

Byram: Has excellent positional sense. Very keen to see him in his natural one on the right! 7

Noble: Looked pretty emotional as the teams lined up. Big day for the club and the skipper. Always eager to break play up and move the ball on 6

Cullen: Now… Call me harsh but he doesn’t initially strike me as having the size to play at the top level. Can’t fault his effort today though 5

Nortveidt: He was either doing something right or had done something wrong as he was the only outfield player who played the full 90 mins 6

Feghouli: Some nice touches in first half Interested to see where he fits in when Payet and Tore are available 5

Carroll: Saved the day pretty much with the goals getting us back into the game. The second showed that even well-drilled Italian defences have no answer to AC in full flight 8

Valencia: No magic today but in fairness he was up against Dani Alves for most of the game 4

Subs: Now, don’t ask me who replaced who, but these are at least in the right order of entrance…

Collins: A timely interception, one towering headed clearance, couple of long forward balls – a gentle 45 mins for the Ginger Pele 5

Oxford: Caught with a ball over the top for the winner. Good in possession, needs games at a decent level now 5

Burke: Looks to have really developed physically since I last saw him in the flesh. Impressive at right-back especially tracking back 7

Fletcher: Now this guy looks to have real ability… Can we get him involved enough to see if he has goals in him too? 6

Quina: Another who I feel may lack the stature for the top level 4

Payet: Not seen a warm-up more enthusiastically received since Dimi returned from injury last season. Unfairly booed by a few round me for not going for goal from the free-kick he took 5

Samuelson: Probably not a right-winger but had 10 mins or so out there. Showed he has decent touch and movement 6

Browne: * see Quina comment
