Good effort, the 1-0 flattered us but not by much, it was a real good try that by some of our lads.
Mig-His best game all season without doubt, think some of the punching was over theatrical but some good saves in there too.
Manquillo-Madrid identified this weakness and went at it all night, to be honest he was our worst performer but he was ganged up on.
Skrtel-Decent.
Toure-Excellent, thought he was our best defender on the night and in no way should be dropped after that.
Moreno-Love this lad, his rash and raw but in time he's going to be so good. Good display.
Lucas-Excellent, didn't deserve to come off, didn't look to be tiring and was standing up to anything that came through the middle, really shoving it down the throats of those that claim he's finished/sh*te/whatever crap they say, well in again Lucas.
Allen-Probably our weakest midfielder but boy did he put a shift in and that energy alone showed so much in our play.
Lallana-Excellent, threatened so many times to break through, if he had someone up top to interplay with more he'd be a real threat.
Markovic-Easily his best game for us, much more promising.
Can-Another good display, shouldn't be dropped after that either.
Borini-Movement is on another planet compared to Balotelli, gave us options, occupied their defenders but didn't especially threaten.
Effort 10/10
Madrid had a couple of players that are just a class above though, Varane and Modric were exceptional.
