Overall Murphy should have been MOTM, running at defenders and getting to the line but sometimes his crosses were just a little bit off. Keep doing that though and it will come good.
Naismith, what can you say? Spent most of his time with his back to the goal and then just appeared to be reluctant to pull the trigger when in a scoring position. Lacking confidence?
Wes and Maddison combined well and supported by an in form Tettey in the defensive midfield role made a great combination.
Back 4 looked shaky again but got better as the game wore on. Martin was in the CB role which didn't show up his lack of pace but he did OK. No disastrous back passes. Franke needs to get rid of the ball quicker as he got caught napping once or twice.
All in all good result, some positives and some learning opportunities. No damage done.
