MOTM vs Blackburn

[loz]

Take your pick.

Between Lampard, Anelka and Malouda for me - I opted for Lampard as although I thought Malouda played very well, and his goal was a cracker, I also thought he gave away possession a little cheaply on a few too many occasions.

[Phillip]

I voted for Malouda, for his nice passing, and of course for that bullet header from all of 18 yards out.

I'm trying to decide between Anelka and Malouda.

I have been voting for Malouda an awful lot lately...

Cole, Terry or Anelka for me, went for the former, thought his bombing down the left, tackling and anticipation was top notch today.

Now you got me confused. Former/Latter applies to two choices, but you have three.

Is your 'former' Cole or Terry?

Well, based on what you wrote, it must be Cole, since Terry did not have any bombing runs down the left.

I apologise, my grammar was extremely, horribly poor there. How it was readable in the first place I'll never know.

Yes, it was Ashley Cole.

[Chippy]

Anelka for me followed by Ash and Malouda, thought Cech had another good game without so many long hoofs up the Pitch

Long hoofs? Is that rhyming slang?

Lucky I never said crazy Punts..

i've gone for anelka great performance plus now level on goals with gaylord ronaldo!!

[Orangutan]

Didn't actually think Malouda was MOTM worthy today. The header was great and made some nice moves but he gave the ball away a little too much for my liking.

Anelka was really good. The goal was deserved and he had a number of other good shots. For me it was between Lamps and Essien and I've went for Essien. He was rock solid and very powerful in midfield once again and put a couple of nice shots on the target, though.

Real team effort today so it's hard to decide.

[kalpitv]

Essien. Bullied the Rovers physically. Commanding performance.

[Bridgeboy]

Anelka for me has been a class act this season, definitely should stay along with Malouda. With no injuries and Joey Cole coming back who the f8uck do we need ot buy ??? I say spend the money on youth because to be honest I cannot really see where we need to strengthen up. Maybe we need and out and out winger but thats it for me.

Great game, great goals should have been half a dozen !

[High Street Ken]

Essien. Bullied the Rovers physically. Commanding performance.

He did but he's still not himself (understandably). Lets the ball run away from him far too often for my liking.

[BlueBeard]

Essien for me, thought he was outstanding today.

[Backbiter]

Terry did not have any bombing runs down the left.

Yes he did! He was superb again today, although he didn't have that much to do.

My MOM was Anelka. I thought Frank tried too many things that didn't come off. AC and Essien were also very good.

[ethicalstrategy]

The whole team played well but Essien stood out for me.

[geezer]

Went for Nico. He and Drogs have formed a good partnership, shame they've only really been paired up for the last 5 or so games.

[Scott]

Bison for me.

[just]

Easily Essien.

If we'd have had Hiddink and Essien all season we'd probably have won the lot.

[Englishman]

Went for Nico. He and Drogs have formed a good partnership, shame they've only really been paired up for the last 5 or so games.

Agreed. I went for Anelka too.

[motorhead]

went for anelka

[mad_mac]

Anelka in the race for teh Golden boot, another goal against Blackburn and showing us all that we can play with Drogba and Anelka up front.

Malouda had a great game, and put in some great crosses, took his goal unbelievaably well, and even passed by some defenders. However he also fluffed a few crosses and lost posession often too. Still a great turnaround for a player that looked like he was completely lost a few months ago.

Essien was tremendous, Lampard very good and unlucky not to have scored. Same can be said for Ash, bombed up and down the left, worked well with Malouda, and also unlucky not to score.

Terry was about everywhere, Bossie with a great run for Malouda's goal, shame he had to take that dive! Cech was great too.

Ooverall a great team performance, and very pleasing

[clubhappy]

Anelka, looked comfortable and confident .

[Zola's Love Child]

JT for me.

Will someone PLEASE tell him that its a meaningless end of the season game, with only 2 weeks til the FA cup final... He was going in for every challenge and interception available!
