Harper 6 - Nothing to do. Refreshing thing to say.
R Taylor 6 - Great cross for the 2nd. Some good tackles. Good performance.
S Taylor 6 - Solid. Put himself about when he needed to.
Coloccini 5 - Was awful first half. Improved in the second.
Enrique 8 - Absolutely cracking performance. Great going forward, superb cross for the first. Solid in defence.
Barton 7 - Determined. Lots of effort and did well at moving the ball. Just needs to get more involved in the box.
Nolan 7 - Extra point on the effort for the 2nd. Got in some good positions going forward.
Smith 7 - Played the holding role very well. Some tasty tackles but that is what I want to see from him.
Jonas 6 - Messed his best chance up somehow. Got in some great areas and learnt how to shoot second half. Linked up well with Jose.
Carrol 6 - Did well at holding the ball up. Deserved a goal really.
Shola 9 - Has to get MOM just ahead of Enrique. Took all his chances well. Great moment for him.
Subs
Geremi 6 - Not much to do. Was s.olid on the ball
Xisco 6 - Looked lively. Could be useful this year.
Lua Lua 6 - Pacy, tried to take too many men on, but looks very promising.
