Cudicini (8) – A harsh man might criticise his parry that led to Gardner’s goal but I thought he generally coped well with the mayhem in front of him.Â
Corluka (6) – Lovely header for his goal. Exposed on the turn. One of three players who let runner go for second goal
Assou-Ekotto (6) – Not his normal assured self. Arseing about for Davies’ goal.
Bassong (6) – He doesn’t like playing against these big lads.
Huddlestone (6) – He’s not a centre half no matter what Harry says. Seems to be learning positioning on the job.
Jenas (6) – Found lots of space occasionally and looked assured but too casual in possession in second half
Palacios (7) – Lots of battles with the Bolton midfield. Would’ve been completely overrun without him. Ball watching for second goal.
Lennon (6) – A couple of half decent runs but rarely dangerous. Not much decent service. Ball watcher number three for Davies goal
Kranjcar (7) – Generally quality when on the ball. Very good free-kicks and corners and took his goal beautifully. Could’ve helped out Assou-Ekotto more.
Keane (5) – Invisible mostly.
Crouch (6) – Good knockdown for Kranjcar goal, could’ve done better himself near goal later in the game.
