Martyn 6
Couple of good saves from Collins and Barmby but equally a few
blunders that scared us all. Again his inability to command the
penalty area could have cost us.
Hiden 6
Nothing special but solid when it matters. Had plenty of defensive
cover from Hoppy.
T1000 7
Contained Jail bird very well. Still not as good as Whethers on
getting into dangerous positions on corners.
Lucas 8
The king once again. Played with real confidence, almost arrogant
at times. Best player on the pitch by a mile.
Harte 6
Didn't go forward enough but midfield to blame.
Hopkin 2
The canary yellow strip should have assisted him in passing the
ball but had exactly the opposite effect; maybe he's colour-blind
eh.
Haaland 2
Same problem as Hoppy and looked very slow. Wasn't prepared to go
forward at all.
Bowyer 5
100% for effort as usual but his passes were easily intercepted by
them.
Kewell 4
The jewel failed to sparkle once again. The boy must get through
this rough patch. Should have been subbed at half
time.
Hasselbaink 5
Lazy day for the big man, didn't chase, didn't move. First touch
let him down many times (as warned by Da Rev). Must learn how to
win the ball in the air occasionally.
Wijnhard 6
Felt sorry him as on another day he would won a couple of penalties
for us. That cheating Italian no 15 - Meterazzi was holding him,
pulling his shirt, throwing him yet the ref failed to see any of
it. Good physical test for him.
Ribeirio 7
Breath of fresh air when he came on for Clyde, although Jimmy
should have gone off. He was dangerous going forward, taking
players on and beating them. If only GG put him on at half
time.
Lilley 7
Did more in 10mins than JFH did in the entire second half. Nearly
snatched for us with a superb header.
MOTM : King Lucas
Ref : Tunnel visioned. Missed all the dirty tricks employed by
Meterazzi.
Crowd : Best chant was when Dacourt got sent off "Time to Go, Time to Go, Time to Goooo, Time to Go, Time to Gooooo....etc.... F*** Off!...."

A new season and a new phenomenon. Two Premiership managers who have clearly been partaking of truth serum.
"I don't think either team deserved to win," said George Graham after watching his second goalless draw of the season. "And I hate being that honest. We cancelled each other out and it must have been sad for the fans to watch."
