Joe Gomez: 5 – Started the game well and fans loved his performance, then he just crumbled. The right-back position continues to be an issue.Milos Kerkez: 5 – The Hungarian was able to play a little further forward due to the formation, but even then he couldn’t impact the game.

Looked settled in the game, however, and wouldn’t say he looked out of place.AttackKieran Morrison: 5 – Wasn’t found as much as he would have liked and was a quiet debut overall.

Felt like he didn’t have much help, though, meaning he couldn’t link-up as well as he could if playing with the likes of Cody Gakpo.Rio Ngumoha: 6 – Started brightly and had a good curling effort that just went wide. Slowed down a little bit after picking up a knock and also didn’t have the impact he would have hoped for.Substitutes:Wellity Lucky: 5 – Brilliant surname but, unfortunately, he couldn’t bring any luck to the Reds off the bench.
