Another day, another point. Can’t complain at that.




Player Ratings
Robert GreenThe save from Bale?EUR(TM)s free-kick was out of this world. Mind you I?EUR(TM)d have held it!

Lars Jacobsen
It was hard work but he stuck to the task well.

Wayne Bridge
Superb. So that?EUR(TM)s how he got to be an international. So good Lennon kept swapping with Bale in an attempt to get some change out of the match. MOTM ?EUR" just.

Manuel Da Costa
Blocks here, tackles there. Just needs to guard a tendency to lapses of concentration from time to time.

Matthew Upson
Another immense performance from the skipper. Always seemed to be there or thereabouts when a block was needed.

Scott Parker
Should be four inches shorter such was the running he got through. Again. Just like me he seems to have a dislike of those digital advertising hoardings ?EUR" which is no bad thing.

Mark Noble
Seems to enjoy the game so much more when part of a middle three with Hitz.

Thomas Hitzlsperger
If only we hadn?EUR(TM)t let him played for Germany in that pre-season friendly.

Gary O Neil
A lot of hard work but occasionally took the wrong decision going forward.

Carlton Cole
Held the ball up well on some occasions then messed it up completely on others. Battled throughout though and never let the defenders settle. Should have scored.

Demba Ba
Not as involved as Cole but always looked dangerous when things came his way.

Substitutes
Victor Obinna(Replaced Cole, 78 mins) Remember the days when you only had one sub? Oh just me then. Only on for a few minutes without registering one way or the other really.

Ruud Boffin
Did not play.

James Tomkins
Did not play.

Danny Gabbidon
Did not play.

Luis Boa Morte
Did not play.

Fred Sears
Did not play.

Zavon Hines
Did not play.
