FILAN: The busier of the two keepers and made some fine saves...8

CROFT: Injured while doing a great piece of covering to stop Bakayoko...6

HENCHOZPEACOCK: Got Rovers out of trouble on any number of occasions, despite the threat that Bakayoko's pace presented to the defence. A pity his run now ends through suspension after some good games...8

DAVIDSON: Lets his game down by too often conceding possession, especially with crosses which invariably find a defender...6

JOHNSON: Considering his lengthy absence made an excellent return and threatened Everton with his runs...7

McATEER: Gave everything, again forced to switch positions, and has no need to be displeased with his efforts...7

WILCOX: A strange game which brought a number of unforced errors but also many good things and no-one battled harder for the cause than the captain in his unfamiliar central midfield role...7

DUFF: Not running at defenders with quite the same conviction and found his Irish colleague Richard Dunne a tough opponent...6

DAVIES: How much the injuries and illnesses have affected him we don't know but it is just not happening for the club's record buy...5

WARD: A terrific first half and not wanting for effort in the second half but needs better service to thrive...7

SUBS

MARCOLIN: Tried to get involved but found it difficult to get into the pace of the game...5

JANSEN: Might have been introduced earlier to try something different against a defence which didn't look as tough it would be unlocked again
