Friedel 5 Nothing to do, let one in

Walker 6 Positive signs going forward, sharper than earlier this season

Vetonghen 6 One or two scary moments but key header at 1-1

Caulker 6 We dont really see him, and its probably a good sign for a defender

Naughton 5 Lost the ball a lot and shaky at the back

Sandro 7 Usual performance, maybe a bit tired in the second half

Carroll 6 Lively, sometimes seems a bit under pressure but he is an interesting player. Ahead of Livermore anyway.

Lennon 6 Not a lot going forward but good run and assist at the end. Good defensively.

Dempsey 8 Very lively in the first half and decisive in the second. He is starting to get goals and assists.

Adebayor 6 Good finish in the first half. Didnt seem very interested in the second.

Defoe 7 So sharp at the moment, unselfish on some occasions aswell.
 
Friedel 6 - doubt even Lloris would have got to that cross for their goal tbh

Walker 8 - had a hand in two goals (intelligent through ball to
Dempsey for Ade's goal) and looked on fire second half. Also a couple of timely clearances. Can still go missing though.

Caulker 7 - Solid

Verthonghen 7 - better from him than in recent games

Naughton 4 - totally lost it second half but had his moments early doors

Lennon 6 - excellent assist but needs to get past his man more often

Carroll 7 - mighty impressive first half, looks like he'll soon be running the game, predictably faded before being subbed

Sandro 6 - put in a decent shift but too many misplaced passes

Dempsey 8 MotM - sparkled most of the game, deserved to be credited for the header that went in off the goalie

Adebayor 7 - well-taken goal and some good approach /possession play

Defoe 7 - on fire atm. Even when you don't see much of him he scores and hits the woodwork

Dembele 6
Sig 6
Livermore n/a.

Interesting discussion between Sir Les and Strachan about their goal. Les blamed Naughton and the ginger one blamed Caulker and especially Verts for not holding the line. Neither said it was Brad's fault.
The OMT thread starter suggested Naughton RB and the other Kyle on the left. It would have been interesting.

We wobbled after the equaliser but all in all every player done good IMO but too many misplaced passes.

I do not really value either persons opinons.
 
Friedel 4 awful yet again

Walker 7 signs that he might be coming out of his sticky spell though the oposition has to be taken into account.
Caulker 6.5
Verts 6.5
Naughton 3 If he plays i think it should be on the right he does not look comfortable on the left and he needs to go on loan again in the prem for more experince.

Lennon 7
Sandro 6.5 Love him but i have to mark him down as he let the greeks get a foot hold for a period second half and a team as crap as theirs should not be doing that.
Carroll 8.5 Love the little fella and he is now streets ahead of huddlestone already, and i was a hudd fan. Some brilliant through balls and also did the smiple things. If only he was at arsenal or chelsea he would be the new saviour of english football.
Dempsey 7.5 Showed good attacking threat and as always worked hard, bit oorer second half but im pleased he is progressing.

Defoe 7.5 nice goal and nearly another one. Loving him as i always have top quality guy.
Ade 7 looked rusty but to be expected.
 
Friedel 6 Decent performance, no mistakes, couldn't do anything about the goal really.

Walker 7 Decent going forward, seems to like those mazy runs with the ball but needs to learn when to and when not to, they leave him out of position a lot.
Caulker 7 - Decent performance from the young CB.
Vertonghen 7.5 - He's just so damn technically talented. He makes the tackles but he doesn't hoof it, he does it and comes away with the ball at his feet and the striker bewildered as to what the fudge just happened.
Naughton 6 - Lacking positionally at LB, can't be too harsh on the lad though as it's not his natural position.

Lennon 7 - Mia first half, but a very impressive second, very good run and through ball to Defoe
Sandro 6.5 - Defensively sound but the passing was lacking at times, put us under pressure once or twice.
Carroll 6.5 - Could develop into a talent but doesn't quite have the decision making to back it up yet. Great passing range, but some of them suicidal to members of the back four.
Dempsey 8 - Was a very impressive performance from Dempsey, gets the assist in a nice bit of play dropping perfectly between the midfield and the defence and deserved a goal for his headed effort.

Defoe 6.5 - Well taken goal. That's about all you can say about him tonight
Ade 7.5 - Moves defenders around, comes back into midfield and manages to wriggle out of some tight situations. Knits some of our play together and wins most 50/50's. Nice clinical finish.

The OMT thread starter suggested Naughton RB and the other Kyle on the left. It would have been interesting.

I think that's how the two Kyles played when they were still with Sheff United, though I can understand why AVB did so, it's Pana, not another premier league team. Not to forget that we also have Demps as LW, so, why not have a more stay-at-the-back type Naughton as our LB for the night.
 
Friedel 6.5 - Not really his fault for the goal, and not his fault either he didn't have to make more saves and thus earning a higher rating (extra 0.5 given for acting as a confidence booster for our make-shift defence)

Walker 7 - A few telling passes/crosses. Will need him to be on alert against Everton/Leighton Baines.

Vetonghen 6.5 - Extra 0.5 for an important header at a crucial time.

Caulker 6 - No fanfare or key moments came to mind immediately, but not his fault the opponents only had a 20min good spell.

Naughton 5.5 -I believe he tried his best as a LB, but to be fair to Caulker, 0.5 lower for him.

Sandro 6.5

Carroll 6 - Some nice passes in the first half when there's little pressure, should really have taken this rare opportunity to shine, didn't do anything wrong either. Like Caulker, he's there and contributed to our win but nothing specific came to mind immediately.

Lennon 6.5 - Lively, and a few key passes. Alternate going forward with Walker well.

Dempsey 7.5 - One of his better performances, the only downside is that he tends to cut infield a lot and we failed to utilise the left flank more effectively. Small complaint really.

Adebayor 6.5 - Did well to stay on side and calmly gave us the lead.

Defoe 7.25 - Nice game as a "striker", could have two or three goals. I only have a simple expectation on him, get in there and hurt the opponents.

Dembele 6.5 - Our lucky charm (don't mind giving him 0.5 extra for every game he "won" for us)? Offered something different to Carroll, and we took charge of the last 20min. But this might be the effect of two quick goals after he came on, both of which he didn't really have a lot of involvement.

Sigurdsson N/A - Came on so as to give Demps a chance for a standing ovation?

Livermore N/A

*edit* hmm...I might be giving out too many +0.5 for sentimental reason,

Brad- 6 - solid, didn't have much to do
Walker- 7 - good defensively and going forward. Quality set-pieces he should take them more often
Caulker- 6 - solid
Vertonghen- 6 - see above
Naughton- 3 - positionally all over the place and completely lost it 2nd half, got booked and constantly miscontrolled the ball. Awful, the Greek's MOTM
Lennon- 7 - great play for the 3rd plus a few more moments of magic
Sandro- 6 - decent shift
Carroll- 6 - struggled at times but some imaginative play at others
Dempsey- 8(MOTM)- linked midfield and attack well - our main creative spark and pretty much scored our 2nd
Defoe-.7 - not involved much but scored a peach and hit the post. Efficient!
Ade- 6- wasn't really his day but did score and worked v hard. Bit too casual with his passing though

Dembele - 6- calmed things down nicely when he came on
Sigurdsson - 6 - almost played in Defoe with an outrageous through ball and almost scored from a corner. Like Dempsey seems to be coming out of his shell slowly
Livermore - na
