After a couple of weeks absence CandH’s rating experts is back – Niall McDonald hands out his marks on a very bad day at the office
Hart: Didn’t think I’d see Hart play again and on this basis I hope I don’t 3
Zabaleta: Got forward well before the break 5
Collins: Pretty standard Collins fare. Plenty of clipped balls over the top 5
Ogbonna: Outpaced for their first, crucial goal 5
Cresswell: Best of an indifferent lot at the back for me 5
Noble: This must be killing him 6
Kouyate: Flung himself into some crazily over enthusiastic challenges and fortunate not to be injured 4
Lanzini: One of the few bright sparks. Played between the lines when he could, came closest to scoring 6
Mario: A bit too languid for our current plight, in my view 4
Antonio: A few bursts down the left in the first half and no real defensive lapses 5
Arnautovic: Showed his presence up-front. Some neat touches, only one clear sight of goal 6

Hernandez: Arrived in the midst of the unrest. Can’t really comment on his performance
Could have been so different if Arnoutovic had been partnered with Hernandez as against Watford instead of ploughing a lone furrow up front.It took Burnley as the away side to send on a 2nd striker and change the game.Not sure what Moyes is trying to achieve lately.Since he dropped Hernandez the wheels have truly come off.
Guess you must have given Noble 6 for fighting cos it sure wasn’t for football . Gave the ball away time after time and another over the top tackle he should have been sent of for . Mario is lightweight and contributed nothing so once again no midfield . It is a debacle .
Everyone sees thing different as i thought noble was one of our better players.
