Aston Villa 2-2 Queens Park Rangers: Player Ratings on New Year’s Day

6.0. Three saves from five attempts, one of which was a crucial stop. Jed Steer was powerless in either QPR goal. In all, pretty good in his recall from Charlton Athletic.. GK. Aston Villa. JED STEER

Very much a Jekyll & Hyde performance from James Bree. His highlights were impressive and his lowlights were bizarre. He should be given every opportunity to claim the right-back job from Alan Hutton and Ahmed Elmohamady.. RB. Aston Villa. JAMES BREE. 5.5

6.5. Tommy Elphick won 11 aerial duels on Tuesday. Not sure what some fans were complaining about.. RCB. Aston Villa. TOMMY ELPHICK

92% pass completion percentage from James Chester helped ease the defense out of pressure. He wasn’t perfect in defending, however.. LCB. Aston Villa. JAMES CHESTER. 6.5

Awful. Villa need Neil Taylor to return or a new left-back in the window to achieve their season objectives.. LB. Aston Villa. ALAN HUTTON. 3.5

4.5. No bueno from the Irish international. Hourihane was partly to blame for both goals in his deep play-making role.. CM. Aston Villa. CONOR HOURIHANE

JOHN MCGINN. 5.5. Whole lot of effort, not a lot of productivity, <strong>assist</strong> aside. 71% passing from a central midfield position isn’t going to cut it. McGinn did, however, have a pair of nice shots on-target.. CM. Aston Villa

5.0. Ditto for Birkir Bjarnason. Lots of effort, lots of wastefulness in midfield.. CM. Aston Villa. BIRKIR BJARNASON

4.5. Did close to nothing and was taken off after 60 minutes.. RW. Aston Villa. ALBERT ADOMAH

You get two goals, you get MotM. Abraham nearly scored a third if not for a terrific stop from QPR ‘keeper Joe Lumley.. CF. Aston Villa. TAMMY ABRAHAM. 7.5

Aston Villa. JONATHAN KODJIA. 5.0. A bit more effective than Adomah, but not by much. Jonathan Kodjia was chased off in the 60th-minute.. LW
