Reina and the defense did OK, Kelly was great first half, but Carra held back a little more with his runs, so that threat was cut off more - can't blame him, he doesn't have the pace or energy of Kelly, but he did bring a little more stability to the back.
Sotis turned into a Spartan for the evening, agger was missed when he went off, wilson did OK, but had no help from cole.
Lucas again had to do the work of 2 in DM, because Poulsen was so sh*t - he needs to go asap, looked clueless when he had the ball, 100 yards off the pace, and generally looked like it was me playing. In other words, crap.
Thought Kuyt did well when combining on the right with Kelly, then started to drift around 2nd half, and swapping with cole.
Meireles did OK, but nothing special by the standards he has set himself.
Cole was F***ing awful - kept giving the ball away, running down blind alleys, couldn't defend/. He might be short of match fitness, but that shouldn't affect his decision making. IMO he should be gone in the summer.
N'Gog I thought did OK leading the line, but his finishing was piss poor, and he could have had 2 goals had he not snatched at them - he's still fairly young, but he needs to improve a lot on this showing.
