Player ratings v Fulham

Given - 7 - not much to do at all really but made one smart stop to keep the game at 0-0.

Beye - 6 - hardly a barnstorming game for last week`s match winner but steady nonetheless.

Rozenhal - 6 - thought Healy and Kamara would trouble him more but he did ok.

Cacapa - 7 - infinitely improved from the Pompey game where he looked the Brazilian Bramble.

N`Zogbia - 6 - wasted at left back. Can`t wait to buy a new one so Prince Charles can get forward.

Geremi - 5 - looks as slow as Micky Quinn. Might be the one positive about the ACN.

Barton - 7 - more like it. All action, showed bottle for the penalty. More of the same please Joey.

Butt - 7 - quiet destroyer style role suited the Ginger Warrior.

Milner - 6 - always busy but could have done with a bit more quality on the final ball.

Martins - 5 - subdued but there was little more you could expect when given such lousy service.

Smith - 6 - battled well and got chopped down for the penalty.
