I'll have a go with ratings
Harper 6 Not much to do made a few decent stops
Simpson 6.5 Linking better with Barton
Colocinni -8 Immense! Cole didnt have a sniff! Looking really good
Taylor 7 Solid
Jose 8 Slow start but once he got going he was awesome great surging runs! Best left back we've had for a while
Barton 8.5 Continuing his great form his set pieces and crossing is top notch , reminding me of Beckham with some of his deep crosses.
Nolan 7.5 Battled well well taken goal
Tiote 8.5 What a machine this guy is dominated the midfield and looked impressive going forward!
Jonas 6.5 Seemed abit tired but made some runs but was one of the weaker performers tonight!
Lovelypants 8 - Greatly taken goal and 2 great assists in first half deserve his wage packet tonight!
Best 9.5 - What can you say... Hat trick on full debut in premiership! MOM Didnt miss Carroll one bit.
