Ince - solid game for us. Showed his experience and wasn't afraid to cuss Yorke when he wasn't pulling his weight. I thought he reacted slowly to the second goal, but it was so well struck I can't critisize him for not getting to it.
Abu Bakr - Men hard on him but I thought he was solid, especially given that this was his debut match. Sure he made a few mistakes including a bit of ball watching, but he tackled well, read the game well most of the time and with a bit more confidence could develop into a good defender.
Hislop - was too often out of position and he was playing catch up and recovery too often. He doesn't understand the offside trap and ball watches too much. His tackling wasn't bad though and he fought well in a position he probably never played before at a meaningful level.
Andrews - for a man of his experience he looked exactly like the debutant most of the time. Like most of the other defenders we've used he's often guilty of ball watching when he should be marking or at least looking to close off a passing lane. He seemed to be a calming foil for Ince's remonstrations and put in a decent, if not spectacular shift.
Edwards - continues to show why he is our best player at the moment. Worked hard as usual, tackled well and generally made it difficult for the Mexicans on our right flank.
Yorke - was slow, but steady and generally covered the back 4 well. When he ran out of gas though he probably should have been subbed out, but that's not his call to make.
Birchall - was his usual steady self. Still a bit prone to the error under pressure, but he's keeping the game simple and playing within his limitations.
Noel - had a strong game. Defended well, wasn't afraid to put a little muscle into some challenges with a few Mexicans and looked like he had a bit more gas in the tank when he came off. Needs a bit more polish in his attacking game, but overall put in a good shift.
Daniel - I'm not a fan, but for a change I think he had a good game for us. It was the first time I saw him put in that much work defensively and a lot of the time when he had the ball he was able to play for a throw to retain position. Not bad considering it was often 1 vs 3 or 4. Put in a couple good crosses and if I had anything critical to say is that he probably can try to set up a few more like that.
Tinto - another one who lacks international polish, but he's fearless and skillful. Not a bad striker of the ball either and with a more active striker working with him he can probably develop into a serious threat. He took his chance well and set it up well by recognising the pressure on the ball and stepping into the passing lane. He'd proven it was no fluke by doing it a couple other times before in the half. Disappeared in the second half, but probably will improve on that with experience.
Jones - doesn't seem to be moving around freely. Could have been more aggressive on the cross ball from Daniel and even in the CR game seemed tentative to go into 50/50s with the keeper (a remnant from the England match?). Needs to up his work rate to be more effective for the team.
Jorsling - was out of his depth. Didn't know how to retain possession. Not much else to say about him.
Spann - didn't have a good first touch and might have been more composed with his shot that went overbars. Worked hard, but didn't have much impact either way on the field.
Baptiste - also didn't have much impact either way.
