Aaron Ramsdale – bizarrely, all he really had to do was take crosses, although he dropped one 5

Ethan Ampadu – it was embarrassing how easily Eberechi Eze ran down his side to score Crystal Palace's second 4

John Egan – a big block on Andros Townsend late on 6

Enda Stevens – started at centre-back and finished on the left of a back four 5

Jayden Bogle – given the run-around by Wilfried Zaha 4

Chris Basham – not the way the great servant would have wanted to mark his 300th Blades appearance, manning a struggling midfield 5

Oliver Norwood – his passing was very disappointing 5

John Fleck – ineffectual in midfield, he was booked 5

Ben Osborn – tried hard out of position 5
