Memory is a bit fuzzy, and full match download is taking its time...
Elliot - 6 - A few good saves, but let two in and almost a third when he parried it back to the feet of a So'ton player (although offside). Distribution very good when he connected properly or threw, but far too many slices.
Colo - 7 - Didn't notice any gaffes apart from when he held onto the ball too long and got forced into the corner, but got out of that well... Ish, considering that the ball just went straight back to them.
Taylor - 6 - Could have done better for the goals, otherwise dealt with most of what came his way. Shame that his marauding run didn't come to anything.
Santon - 5 - Jogging back from attack cost us again, and when actually defending he was beaten with ease. Great play for the 4th.
Debuchy - 8 - Solid performance in defence and attack, good run for the penalty (although shame he couldn't have scored the chance himself).
Cabaye - 8 - Typical Cabaye. Quarterback-esque distribution from deep.
Tiote - 9 - The destroyer returns, was interesting to see him offensively filling in on the left wing at times.
Jonas - 6 - Largely anonymous. Seemed to play too narrowly when covering for Debuchy. His position might as well be called Fullback Enhancer.
Sissoko - 9 - Immense work-rate, caused trouble throughout and, of course, scored.
Gouffran - 7 - An
effective attacking winger who can carry the ball to make counter attacks?
Cisse - 7 - Got his goal, offside less than usual, did well when he drifted to the left wing.
Yanga-M'Biwa- 7 - Decent performance, a couple of slip-ups when put under pressure were rectified with a burst of pace and good challenges. Needs to time his jumps for headers better, went up way too early in both attack and defence.
