MOTM vs Spurs

[loz]

As Just said this is still THE game to win and we didn't just win, we mocked them!!

Quite a few candidates this week. For me the stand out players were A Cole, Drogba, Essien, Cechand Bosingwa.

Bosingwa tore them apart in the first half but was shalckles more in the second half. Cole and Drogba capped their good performances with great goals, Essien was good in the first half but excellent in the second and Cech kept the score sheet at 0-0 when we were struggling to find form in the first half. .

I have opted for Drogba who was a handful for the Spurs back line eevry time the ball came near him.

Ashley Cole for me - yet again!

 

[Phillip]

I think Cech deserves an honorable mention for some very nice saves in the 20 minutes of the first half.

 

[Ruh Buh Juh]

Essien for me - he was worlds apart from his performance vs. Porto, that's the Essien we all know and love

 

[Lofty]

Difficult to choose from Drogba, Essien, Ashley Cole, and Bosingwa, but finally decided on Drogba who was unstoppable today.

 

[Ballack & Blu]

Cole for his super header.and raking pass,and defended superbly

Erm... Err... Umm... ... ... ............. Ash, just ahead of the Drogs.

My thoughts exactly. Bos & Essien played well too.

Lamps still worryingly below par

Shut up 'Arry, we had a stone wall turned down as well

Drogba gets my vote, his initials are DD and certainly was a handful for Spurs today.

Ash again for me, he's having a storming season.

Still early. don't be worried. Another assist today, two assist against burnley, goal v Sunderland. Three goals for England in two games few weeks back! Could do with a couple of goals but he's having a decent season even if Ballack is outscoring him at the moment! I reckon he'll score a brace v Wigan and get MOM!

I actually think he's playing ok so far this season. It would appear that the system we are playing just isn't allowing Lamps the free rein he's used to. But he'll get better as the season goes on..

Playing the way we are, Lampard is not going to get the goals we normally expect of him however that shouldn't necessarily be used to prove he is not playing as well. He is still contributing a lot to the team, we may just have to get used to the fact that he is going to do the job that midfielders normally do rather than doing it as well as doing the job of a support striker.

 

[Virosh]

It was between Drogba and Essien for me and I went for Essien, who was outstanding pretty much whenever it mattered. Vital tackles, passed well, contributed to attack - he really is the whole package.

I find it wonderful that we have so many to choose from, though. I wish every week we had such tough choices to make

Spot on, I've got no worries regarding Lamps, today he played some nice passes, got an assist and if he'd had his shooting boots on he'd have scored the one he pulled wide.

ash cole for me again!

Lamps had a pretty good game I thought. His trouble is he's set such high standards for himself these last few years that even a slight dip makes it seem like he's playing badly. When he wasn't talking about Carlos Angelotti, Ashley King and Boss-winger, Robbie Earle kept saying how Lamps needs a goal to boost his confidence, as if he's in some terrible run of form..

I'll go for Drogs as MOTM. Got a great goal and an assist, and generally terrorised the Spurs defence. Cole, Bosingwa, Cech and Essien all had excellent games too, so an honourable mention for them.
