Finally got a chance to note down my feelings about the game.
Friedel - 7
I didn't feel comfortable with him, not exactly sure why.
Walker - 8
Very important player for us, he gives us a great outlet. Great vision for the first goal. Gave the ball away a few times, but I think everyone did. Defended well yesterday.
L Young - 7
Played well against a tricky Walcott. Supported attacks well.
Dunne - 6
Didn't think it was a penalty myself, but he wasn't having the best of games.
Collins - 6
Put in some good blocks and a few good headers (and some shockers).
It would be nice to not have to revert to blocking though.
Reo-Coker - 9
I thought he was very good yesterday. In recent months I've been sceptical, but he covered the ground well. Made some good interceptions. I love the way he sprints forward when we are on the break, even though he can't shoot. Passion.
Petrov - 6
I don't like Petrov, it's not a secret, I don't think he offers us anything apart from giving away fouls and moaning to the ref. Makoun would replace him in my opinion.
Delph - 7
I thought he played well. Struggled to get into the game to start off with I think. But he was solid. Think he'll be great next year if he can keep his fitness.
Young - 7
Quiet but solid. He wasn't the main focus, but he worked as hard as normal. Defended and helped L.Young out. Fantastic assist for second goal.
Downing - 7
I wasn't too impressed with Downing, gave the ball away quite a lot. Made some bad decisions when with the ball. A few times, I just wished we had a right footer on the right hand side. But that's not Downing's fault that he's played there.
Bent - 9
Special player. Unlucky not to get a third, with a weak left foot strike. Spectacular finish for the first goal, and great finish for second.
Bradley - n/a
I might have freaked out a bit when he came on for Petrov, I wanted Cuellar on (3 DCs would have made sense to me. Change to a 5-2-2- 1.) But he did well, came forward well, however no end result. I'd start him against Livepool - let's see what he's got.
Heskey - n/a
Again wanted Cuellar. Didn't do anything in the minute he was on
