Given - More smart saves and another assured performance. Has not put a foot wrong since he signed. 7.5
Richards - Struggled against the lively Moses after being booked early. 6
Toure - The new captain had a strong all-round performance both defending and coming forward. 7
Lescott - A solid debut. Some struggles but to be expected playing so soon after signing. A good partnership with Toure looks a matter of time. 6.5
Bridge - Impressed with how he joins in the attack. Sound defensively too. 7
Wright-Phillips - Saw plenty of the ball and looked lively and creative. Took his goal well. 7.5
Barry - Not flashy or a headline grabber but his role and work shouldn't be underestimated. Man of the match. 8
Ireland - Struggled to adjust to the new, deeper role. Some fleeting moments but few and far between. 6
Robinho - Work rate not in question, but we are not getting the best from him (like Ireland) in a less attacking role. 6
Adebayor - I do like the look of him and has some good touches and link up play. Quieter than his previous games though. 6.5
Tevez - A real spark in the attacking third. Creative, works tirelessly and got himself on the scoresheet. Looks to be getting fitter. 7.5
Subs:
Neither de Jong or Bellamy were on long enough to impact.
