Reina -8 did what little was asked of him well
Kelly - 7 made the goal but not at his best
Robinson -7 Thought he supported Stirling well and had a solid game against a tricky player.
Agger - 6 not at his best
Carra -6 think the criticism of him was a little harsh
Henderson -6 invisible for much of the game, played a couple of excellent through balls.
Adam - 7 probably our best midfield player on the night (until Allen came on) but still not good enough on this performance to challenge for a place in the team for Sunday.
Spearing - 5 not a great game by Jay, but Hearts didn't make it easy for him.
Shelvey - 5 probably our worst player on the night, hardly anything went right for him. Even when he made a great pass Borini was wrongly called offside.
Sterling -8 Excellent performance, but lack of other outlets meant he was overused and consequently heavily marked. M.O.T.M.
Borini -7 Did much better than against West Brom, worked hard and got in some good positions. Missed the easiest chance of the night when we hit the post.
I think only perhaps Sterling made enough of an impact tonight to affect his role at the club. Deserves a position on the bench and thinking of the alternatives probably a position in the team
