YING – 6.5/10 – I admire the wee fella’s willingness to do the hard yards and play his part in the collective effort. Kind of like a Korean Daizen Lite. That he did, proving himself a worthy inclusion, if unable to shine going forward; any hope of that curtailed by our Japanese midfielder’s meltdown.

LORD KATSUMOTO – 8.5/10 – Daizen’s a flaming beast. Don’t take my word for it – Joe Hart told you in commentary. But he’s not the Gough kind of beast – he’s the defenders’ and goalkeepers’ nightmare-fuel sort. And for all the moans over the last month or so about his inscrutable expression, I’ve never seen a player enjoy himself more than Daizen when he’s happily tearing around causing chaos and carnage; a Japanese Heath Ledger’s Joker: “It about sending message, opponent-san.”

TUTANKHAMUN – 5/10 – Kind of dicked about until he realised these were no SPL jobbers and had some flashes of interest. But any sort of lasting impact he may have made was lost when he became the necessary sacrifice.
