Allsop 5 - Had little to do for most of it, a couple of hospital passes though.
Osayi-Samuel 8 - An absolute beast and a significant upgrade on Laird, who I didn't think needed upgrading.
Neumann 9 MOTM - Unbelievable reading of the game, insane speed over ten yards. Rolls Royce of a defender
Klarer 7 - Steady and composed. Looked good, if slightly upstaged by Neumann's debut
Cochrane 8 - Was targeted by them all game but stood up well and didn't look out of place. Desperately needs competition though, another 40+ game season will kill him.
Paik 9 - Incredible as ever. Since he settled into the team he's been an absolute delight to watch. Nonsensical refereeing decision for one of the best challenges I've seen in a while.
Iwata 7 - I've never seen someone cover so much of the pitch. He's just relentless. An absolute machine.
Gray 6 - Looked good in fits and spurts, still has most of his pace, but was marked out of it fairly well. Occasion might have got to him a bit. Will come good.
Stansfield 7 - The only player close to as relentless as Iwata. Never stops, so crucial to our high press. Good finish for the goal, should have had more, two poor finishes first half.
Anderson 8 - Looks right at home. I thought we'd need to upgrade on him but he didn't look remotely out of place against a team that was in the PL four months ago.
Kyogo 8 - Frankly insane refereeing to deny his debut goal. Hit the post for Stansfield's goal. Some of his movement is otherworldly. Once we get on his wavelength properly he'll take the piss.
