Hernandez - pulls the strings, we haven't had anyone anywhere near as good at putting the ball in the box from set pieces and corners since I don't know when.
Roofe - Best game for us that I've seen tonight, tireless display, so much running off the ball, taking defenders out of the game.
Vieira - Hard to believe he's only 18, McClaren full of praise for him after the game, on a few occasions he was played the ball in very tight situations, couldn't believe how he came away with the ball with such ease, broke up so many moves too.
Bridcutt - Does all the necessary dirty work, mopping up the loose balls and puts his foot in where it hurts.
Coyle - An excellent game from the lad both defensively and going forward, hard to believe he's only had 45 minutes of competitive football since his injury.
Bartley - Commanded the back 4, a true leader on the pitch, looks composed on the ball too, a goal would have been the icing on the cake.
Ayling- Didn't look out of place at CB.
