Player Ratings: Portsmouth (h)

Last updated : 23 January 2005 By Liam Corbett
Petr Cech - One smart stop from O'Neil free kick but showed some in-decision to let Yakubo run onto the through ball and have a clear shot. 6

Paulo Ferreira - One fantastic second half cross for Kezman and was solid throughout. 7

John Terry - Immense. 9

Willaim Gallas - Immense. Carvalho won't get a game! 8

Wayne Bridge - Did well to ignore the travelling Pompy fans' jibes. 7

Claude Makelele - Contender for player of the season. At his best yesterday, winning the ball and playing simple. Every good team should have one! 8

Frank Lampard - Not at his best but after the two goals against Spurs we'll let him off! Showed again, at times, his superb range of passing. 6

Joe Cole - Played simple for once and looked like he believes he can make the postion his own. Mis hit a second half chance that was his only real sight on goal. 7

Arjen Robben - Maradonna-like in his running yesterday! Taking on 3 or 4 players at ease. Beat 4 men before squaring for Drogba's first, brilliantly finished the second himself then was fouled to give Drogba the chance to put away the thid! 21 today as well, so happy birthday Arjen! 9

Damien Duff - Linked superbly with Robben on occasions but never really got into top gear. Withdrawn late on, obviously for Man Yoo clash. 7

Didier Drogba - Great free kick after a great striker's goal from about 2 yards! Now getting back to full fitness, is looking more and more a threat with every match that passes. 9
