England player ratings versus Switzerland

Joe Hart

Made two excellent saves to deny Haris Seferovic and showed good distribution to send Raheem Sterling darting down the left on two occasions. It was a decent night for England's undisputed No.1.

John Stones
Faced a big test against the Swiss footballer of the year, Ricardo Rodriguez, but handled himself well on his competitive debut. The biggest concern regarding Stones is that he lacks the pace to provide attacking support in a diamond formation. England would be much stronger in this system with a fully fit and in-form Kyle Walker.

Gary Cahill
Despite now being England's senior starting defender, Cahill still looks unsure of himself without John Terry alongside him, which isn't good news when his new centre-back partner is Phil Jones. Still, it was a terrific block to deny Josip Drmic and an important clean sheet to kick-start the campaign.

Phil Jones
Allowed Seferovic to get the wrong side of him in the first half and escaped punishment when the pair collided. Then played a poor pass to put Xherdan Shaqiri away before Hart denied Seferovic. Almost scored with a powerful low header on half-time, but Jones still has a lot of work to do on his defensive game. It's 18 months since Sir Alex Ferguson said he could be Manchester United's greatest ever player, but thus far the 22-year-old has done little to justify that glowing praise.

Leighton Baines
Similar to Stones, Baines lacks the pace to be a convincing threat on the counter-attack, but he still supported the front line when the opportunity arose. It's difficult to shake the feeling that he's facing a losing battle to hold on to his place when Luke Shaw finally gets going at Old Trafford.

Jack Wilshere
Defensive midfield is clearly not his position. Did his best work going forward - notably an excellent pass to Wayne Rooney in the first half and low deflected drive after the break - but looked uncertain of his responsibilities in a new role. Was reluctant to collect the ball off the centre-backs throughout his 73 minutes and guilty of losing it on one occasion with a careless dribble when there was ample space for Switzerland to break in behind. Can do better.

Fabian Delph
A positive display despite two rash challenges in the first half. The best word to describe Delph's performance is 'energetic', but he also showed composure on the ball to record the highest pass completion rate of all starting players with an impressive 97%. His forward bursts helped to put Switzerland under pressure while he should arguably have had a penalty when he was brought down by Johan Djourou. Will need to keep his cool from the start in future.

Jordan Henderson
After the worries about his fitness it was a quiet evening for Henderson as he kept things ticking over in the engine room. Provided a good low cross to Sterling - who missed his kick - early in the second half, but failed to provide the runs from deep that usually create space for his Liverpool teammates to exploit. It's strange to think that his possible absence was seen as a mini-crisis before only his third competitive start.

Raheem Sterling
Not his best performance, but still a game in which he made a telling contribution with a brilliant ball to s
