Friedel - 7 - Great save from Defoe, Not at fault for goals.
Warnock - 5 - Does not get forward to create 2 vs 1 situations, does not defend 1 vs 1 well. Needs replacing
Cueller - 6 - Terrible defending in attempting to delay Bale for second goal, should have shadowed him wide on his right foot.
Collins - 6 - Great in the air, but should have done better for the first goal.
Lichaj - 8 - MOTM, Got forward, tenacious in the tackle, wise head on young shoulders. Bale had to be switched is compliment enough.
Downing - 7 - Solid enough, not given the serivce like Marc, but we are too one dimensional, and opposition teams are cottoning on
Hogg - 5 - Glad he got taken off as he would have got sent off. Looked out of his depth
Delph - 5 - Clearly rusty, and needs an equal in the middle to shine
Albrighton - 7 - Solid display, but we dont give him the ball early enough for him to deliver those quality serivices
Gabby - 6 - Willing runner, but lacked bit of sharpness in final third, easy to defend him as just have to sit deep to deny his pace.
Heskey - 6 - Not on the pitch long enough, but he is what he is, a big oak who will not give defenders a minutes rest
Subs:
Delf - 6 - Looked lively, but is short of confidence, would like to see him given a run. At least was willing to take defenders on.
Stan - 6 - A full fit Stan would have made a difference, but he was better than Hogg
Pires -4 - Shite.
