Played well but lacked the killer instinct at the top end of the pitch until McCleary came on
Rafael 7 - saved what he could, no chance with the goals
Yiadom 7 - was solid at the back, needs to work on composure in the attacking area
Miazga 9 - rock solid at the back
Morrison 8 - played well, took a little while to adjust from Mousset to McBurnie
Obita 5 - not great, but was clearly exhausted in ET. Would have been handy to bring Blackett on but I thought the four subs made were probably the right ones
Rino 8 - this was the Rino we were missing at the start of the season, makes a very good box to box midfielder
Swift 8 - plays better in the deep lying role, much matured in both an attacking and defensive sense
Meite 8 - held the ball up well, got off a cracking shot, worked extremely hard defensively, played well
Ejaria 5 - didn't contribute enough, even in his so called "best role". Disappointing
Olise 8 - you wouldn't know he was 18 with that performance, will be a star if he carries on with the correct attitude
Puscas 7 - fed off scraps but held on to what he could and a decent penalty to go along with it
Timbe 6 - don't think he stretched the defence enough, was too narrow for someone with his pace
Pele 5 - was poor but so close at the end
McCleary 7 - been crying out to use him for weeks, showed exactly what we were missing when we needed a plan B, hugged the touchline
Baldock 5 - didn't do much other than one good pass out wide
Sheffield 6 - think they were missing Norwood and Fleck, often resorted to long balls which Morrison and Miazga dealt with fairly comfortably. Didn't see much of their trademark runs from their 3 CB's, but they defended well and you can see why they don't concede often with them there and with Henderson in goal
