Shay Given 8/10
Sir Bobby rightly chose the Irishman ahead of Steve Harper and he did not let us down. Didn’t have a prayer with either goal but made some vital stops.
Andy Griffin 7/10
Came out on top in his running battle with Lurling and proved once again why he has established himself as a regular.
Aaron Hughes 7/10
Yet another solid performance from Mr Consistent, will he ever have a bad day. Sven must wish he was English.
Nikos Dabizas 9/10
Truly outstanding, a rock at the heart of defence. Nik’s best game for a very long time.
Andy O’Brien 7/10
By no means an error free performance, but certainly his best this season. Can not be faulted for his commitment.
Hugo Viana 7/10
Good performance from the out of position midfielder, but struggled when he had to defend. Superbly taken goal.
Jermaine Jenas 8/10
Justified his selection with another high energy performance. It won’t be long before he joins Kieron in the full England squad.

Gary Speed 8/10
Another colossal performance from Speed, lets hope there’s a few more years in him yet.
Kieron Dyer 8/10
Created two of the goals and was a threat to the Feyenoord defence even when we were under the cosh. Showed signs of being back to his dynamic best.
Alan Shearer 7/10
Didn’t have many chances, but was a constant threat in the air. You could see how much the victory meant to him at the end. Top man!
Craig Bellamy 9/10
What’s he going to do when he’s fit? Two fantastically finished goals and he was a constant thorn in the side of Feyenoord.
Sub
Olivier Bernard 7/10
A fleeting but vital appearance, Bernard won the ball well just when we needed it.
Man-of-the-match Craig Bellamy (of course)
