Thought Palmer did really well to clear the ball off the line at the end, Maguire wasn't greedy and looked as though being dropped helped him out, Semedo closed the ball down well but miss placed a few passes (there was one instance where he lost the ball but chased down the midfielder who passed to CB, chased CB who passed to GK who kicked it into North stand near kop)
Helan was dangerous all through the game and him and Drentthe down the left could work brilliantly. He does get drawn out of position occasionally but usually has the pace to get back and recover
I have been rating Helan for some time but he certainly was on the negative side defensively. Palmer also allowed quite a few crosses in. I don't give positive points for not being greedy. I take points off for being greedy. Nuhui was part of the way to a 7 but in my book, didn't quite get there.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
