Great performance, that. Draw was probably about fair, just wish Ranger had stuck his foot through the ball in the 92nd minute instead of trying another fucking touch.
Krul 7 - super save early doors and largely good handling
Simpson 7 - went missing once or twice but solid
Williamson 6.5 - little bit shaky at times but on the whole fine
Coloccini 8 - class, as usual
Enrique 8 - somewhere approaching the Jose of early season
Barton 8.5 - captain's performance in defence and attack and gets an extra half mark for shitting on Rooney more than once
Guthrie 7 - used the ball well, made some crucial blocks and covered lots of ground
Tiote 7.5 - daft booking but otherwise very good with and without the ball
Gutierrez 8 - useful in defence and excellent for 75 minutes until he visibly tired and became a tad sloppy
Lovenkrands 6.5 - wasn't too bad tonight, did miss that header but superb workrate and decent touches (also baulked someone off the ball and onto their arse - had to pinch myself!)
Ameobi 7.5 - another manful display leading the line, one or two infuriatingly shit passes but did the simple things brilliantly
Ranger 6 - didn't really have the desired effect, should have fucking shot at the death
Ireland 6 - not enough time to make big impact - nearly scored
