Here is my take on it:
JAASKELAINEN: After being fouled for 1st goal , decided to punch everything as he was geing battered. Taking out a few EFC forwards in the process was a bonus. 7
BEN HAIM: Steady game. Nothing fancy. 7
JAIDI: Kept Duncan Disorderly in check and scored crucial trademark goal. Also sent out the message to other managers " Hands Off!" 8
N'GOTTY: Daft to do what he did and desrved to go. 4
GARDNER: Not his best , the Reebok slip being much in evidence. Good outlet though and bobbed up and down. 6
OKOCHA: Never gave up and kept at it. Could have had hatrick if any of his efforts were on target after setting himself up nicely. Caused panic in EFC defence. 6
HIERRO: Masterly performance. Showed a steady head and his first touch was crucial in sticky situations 7
SPEED: Destined not to score at Reebok this season. Another steady game. Booed by EFC fans??After what he achieved for them? Says it all. 6
STELIOS: Busy and in great form. Scored deserved winner 7
DAVIES: Ran all day - two nice flicks to a white shirt. Scuffy goal. Tireless. 6
DIOUF: Panic creater. Went past EFC defenders for fun. Hard to knock off the ball. An early booking ( for being Diouf) possibly helped calm him in a volatile match 8
N. Barry (Ref): Total nightmare - 3
