Ratings

0-3 – Woeful! If you were anchoring our midfield, we’d have been totally overrun!

4-7 – That’s more like it! A solid, no-nonsense display, but a little more creativity required

8-10 – Superb! You’re the complete midfielder! Composed on the ball, tenacious in the tackle, with an eye for a defence-splitting pass.
