Dear, oh dear - how bad are Derby? Bad enough to be worse than Sunderland of a couple of years ago. The lads did quite well not to laugh
Lukasz Fabianski - 6 - Keen on leaving his line - perhaps too keen.
Kolo Toure - 7 - Great raiding from right back, not great shooting.
William Gallas - 6 - Fell asleep for second goal but who can blame him.
Alexandre Song - 7 - Continues an impressive run in the first team.
Gael Clichy - 7 - Same old, same old.
Emmanuel Eboue - 7 - A lively performance let down by some strange finishing.
Denilson - 8 - Assured passing and biting in the tackle.
Cesc Fabregas - 9 - Close to perfection.
Theo Walcott - 8 - Looked dangerous throughout but needs to work on finishing.
Nicklas Bendtner - 8 - Best game so far even if the opposition was so limited.
Robin van Persie - 7 - Right foot's better than his left at the moment.
Substitutes:
Emmanuel Adebayor - 8 - Great impact, fine dancing.
Gilberto Silva - 6 - Steady.
Johan Djourou - 6 - Nice to see him again.
