My ratings for the Prozac:

Guzan -worst showing for years; seemed to have trouble distributing the ball to his defence.
Lowton -abysmal -that bloke who was playing well eighteen months ago seems to have been replaced with his lesser-talented twin brother.
Bennett -out of position for the first goal and offered little going forward.
Herd -midfield? Full-back? Maybe, but please never at centre-back again.
Donacien -struggled a bit in the first-half but far more confident (with better defenders?) afterwards.
Carruthers/Gardner/Johnson -all slow or lacking impact and they're not young lads anymore.
Tonev -Awful, made about zero contribution.
Robinson -made some good runs and was unlucky not to get some reward. Needs to time his runs a little better to avoid running offside.
Burke -unlucky to hit the underside of the bar in the first half but didn't do a lot else.

Karim -looked neat in possession.
Zog -clever and skilful but clearly needs more game time to get his fitness levels up.
Okore -great to see a centre-back with real powers of recovery. The odd mistake but generally looked good. Like Zog, needs more games.
Bacuna -some good touches going forward and solid enough at the back.
Stevens -made his tackles, covered well and looked neat going forward; certainly an improvement on Bennett.
Grealish -looked good again, clever runs and a well-taken goal. Already superior to Tonev.
