Toon Players Rating vs Deportivo

Given: 6 Can't blame him for both goals although he did play his role in giving the first goal away. Abit hesistant about claiming the ball but overall nothin much.

Carr: 6 Was his usual self but makes me wonder whether we need a better right back than him to get into the top 6. Need someone to fight for his position.

Elliot: 5 Woeful. Can't get a pass to his team mates. Whenever Parker or Emre starts a move, he would end it with an atrocious pass. Responsible for the second goal.

Taylor: 7 Assured and composed. Got himself booked for a stupid challenge but nevertheless, what we need in the defence now.

Boumsong: 7 Looking more and more the defender that we thought he would be. Good.

Emre: 8 My man of the match. A good performance despite this being the handful of matches he has played throughout the year. More to come from him. Defnitely.

Bowyer: 7 Worked hard and tried to work something out. Played in an unfamiliar role, behind Shearer. Trying to win over the fans over last season's debacle.

Faye: 5 Not good enough in my opinion. Still trying to find his feet. Needs to find it quickly. Now with Butt gone, Parker will get to play his position but Faye is more an anchor man than Parker and he needs to prove it.

Milner: 7 Finally broke his goal scoring duck. Worked hard and like Bowyer, tried to work something out of nothing. Some decent crosses but confidence boosted with the goal.

Shearer: 6 Needs a good a partner. Can't play as a lone striker. Getting older and can't depend on him to get the goals alone. Needs better service also.

Parker: 7.5 Did his best despite not being 100% fit. Over-enthusiastic at times but it was good to see a player so determine to do something for the team. A young Rob Lee in my eyes, or even better.

Substitutes:
Ameobi: 6 Back from a hip injury which hampered his performance last season. With his usual style of twisting and turning, he still needs to find his goal scoring instinct which is sadly, non-existent.

N'Zogbia: 5 Surprised at his omission but always full of running. Is just gonna get better.*fingers crossed*

Brittain: 0 Came on and the ref blew the final whistle.

The Boss:
Souness: 6 Came up with a 4-3-3 formation which didn't really worked until the lucky break with the goal. Sub-standard defending again costs us the game. The team looks un-balanced. And it is so obvious that we need more players to turn the season around.
