REPUBLIC OF IRELAND

Goal

Keiren Westwood: Did not have an awful lot to do during his 61 minutes on the field, but was quick off his line to deny Rooney and can be pleased with keeping a clean sheet. (6/10)

Defence

Seamus Coleman: Had a strong first period as the hosts threatened in a wide position. Was pushed further back in the second half, but was more than prepared to carry out his defensive work. (7/10)

John O'Shea: Turned back the clock with a super performance at the heart of the defence. Won a number of crucial headers and was first to almost everything inside the penalty box. (8/10)

Marc Wilson: Had a couple of nervy moments in the second period, but was part of a back four that stifled England for long spells. Can be pleased with his overall contribution in Dublin. (7/10)

Robbie Brady: Not a full-back per se, but showed that he can perform in that position. Delivered some brilliant crosses from wide areas and was neat and tidy in possession of the ball. (7/10)

Midfield

James McCarthy: Went about his work in the middle of the park, but picked up the game's only booking late in the first period and was replaced by James McClean at the interval. (6/10)

Glenn Whelan: No-frills performance from the Stoke City midfielder, who kept things ticking over in a central area. Not too much of note, but solid enough performance. (6/10)

Jeff Hendrick: Delivered a couple of sensational free kicks in the first period and was always looking for that forward pass. The brightest of the home side's midfielders in Dublin. (7/10)

Attack

Aiden McGeady: Showed bits and pieces in wide areas, but the winger's delivery was a little hit-and-miss. Was prepared to work back when England had more of the ball in the second period. (6/10)

Daryl Murphy: Had two excellent chances in the first period, but brought a smart stop from Joe Hart, before heading wide from a Hendrick free kick. Bright 56 minutes on the field for his country. (6/10)

David McGoldrick: On just his second international appearance, the Ipswich Town forward had a decent first 45 minutes. Caused some problems inside the box and was always a willing runner. (6/10)

Substitutes

Shane Long: Replaced McGoldrick at the interval, but struggled to make an impression. Worked hard without the ball, but did not have much service to feed upon. (6/10)

James McClean: Had a difficult season at club level, but remains very much part of his country's plans. Provided some invention in the final third, but not much of an end product. (6/10)

Jonathan Walters: Will surely start against Scotland next weekend and was given a valuable 35 minutes. Tested Hart with a stinging drive from outside the box late on. (6/10)

Shay Given: Replaced Westwood in the 61st minute and made a couple of smart saves late on. Not getting any younger, but still has good reflexes under pressure. (6/10)

Harry Arter: Came on for his international debut in the 63rd minute and provided Republic of Ireland with a different threat. Picked up pockets of space and was always looking for that incisive pass. (6/10)

Paul McShane: Now out of contract and will have done his hopes of finding a new club no harm at all with a strong and confident performance in the final 20 minutes of action. (6/10)

ENGLAND

Goal

Joe Hart: Made a really smart save to deny Murphy in the first period and was strong from high balls. One of England's better players in Dublin, although that is not saving much. (6/10)

Defence

Phil Jones: Was always prepared to break forward from right-back and delivered a couple of dangerous crosses. Can be fairly pleased with his performance in the full-back role. (6/10)

Chris Smalling: Had an excellent game at the heart of the defence. Won everything in the air and was also calm in possession of the ball. Developing into a really good defender. (8/10)

Gary Cahill: Had a couple of nervy moments in the first period under pressure from Murphy, but was largely solid during his 74 minutes on the field in Dublin. (7/10)

Ryan Bertrand: Had plenty of chances to deliver from wide areas, but the left-back's quality was a little poor. Not much wrong, but never really got going at the Aviva Stadium. (6/10)

Midfield

Jordan Henderson: Was involved in one excellent passing move in the first half, but that was about it from the midfielder. The game passed him by for long spells. (6/10)

Jack Wilshere: Quite comfortably England's best player in the first half as he impressed from the middle of the park. Was given a rest for the final 25 minutes. (7/10)

James Milner: Plenty of graft and hard-work from the new Liverpool midfielder, but lacked quality in possession of the ball. A useful option, but struggled to get involved. (6/10)

Attack

Raheem Sterling: Had a poor game amid issues regarding his Liverpool future. Looked short of confidence and struggled to produce anything of note in possession of the ball. (5/10)

Wayne Rooney: Had a super chance to score early in the second period after being played through by Henderson, but lost control. Disappointing afternoon for the England captain. (5/10)

Adam Lallana: Surprisingly given the nod in attack, but did not justify his selection. Eventually departed in the 82nd minute having really struggled to get into the game. (5/10)

Substitutes

Andros Townsend: Gave England some much-needed invention in the final third, but the midfielder's delivery was a little disappointing. Tends to do well in a Three Lions shirt. (6/10)

Ross Barkley: Like Townsend, Barkley provided more purpose in the final third, but he snatched at a couple of shooting opportunities and was guilty of trying a little too much. (6/10)

Phil Jagielka: Was a touch fortunate to gain a free kick after slipping under pressure from Walters late on. Solid enough during his 15 minutes on the field in Dublin. (6/10)

Jamie Vardy: Can be pleased with his short international debut. Worked really hard in the final third and was prepared to regain the ball. Positive signs from the Leicester City forward. (6/10)

Theo Walcott: Replaced Lallana in the 82nd minute, but saw little of the ball. Thrived for Arsenal in a forward position towards the end of the season and that might be an option for Slovenia. (6/10)
