I nearly added Strauss and Broad as options!!

I voted for Mikel, who looked great going forward..

Close call between him and Bopara, though.

I've gone for Drogba again. Almost voted for Mikel as most improved player, but decided on Drogba for his goal, overall performance and attituded, which included tackling back and defensive duties.

Drogba all the way. One goal, one assist, one first class performance. Long may it continue.

I gave mine to A Cole, if he could cross a bit better he would have got a contract worth 140,000 a week

Gotta be Didier for me. He is trying his heart out, which is great to see in the run of the mill premiership matches.

Anelka and Drogba equally deserve it. But since we can't go for two players, I voted for Mikel. Loved his distribution around the park today.

Drobga, but by the smallest of margins. Everybody without exception played well, not great, but it was enough.

I can take this kind of wins any day of the week.

Drogba for me as well. He was titanic.

Carvalho for me, who was awesome defensively with a number of last ditch tackles and clearances, but Anelka and Drogba were immense too.

Good day all round really

Great team performance, but I gave my vote to Drogs, he looked back to his best today.

Drogba for the goal and assist and working his arse off.

Ashley I thought looked very involved today in good buildup moves.

Drogba - they couldnt get near him and his touch is getting better with each game.

No doubts Mikel will win it though.

He will never have an easier game in his life, not once did they close him down. Still his passing was good and he even had a shot that was nearly on target.

Still not convinced, not least against a good team.

No doubts Mikel will win it though.

Eh? I thought he was awful, dwells on the ball too much, hopefully Essien's back for Burnley.

Drogba got my vote, although I only watched a bit of it

Excellent performances from Drogba and Mikel (showed so much more urgency), but motm Ballack for me for a dominant game in midfield throughout. Playing as well as ever for Chelsea!

Cole for me- was superb reminded me of his best form for arsenal.

Gotta give my vote to Drogba..if he can preserve this attitude for the whole season we can look forward to being top come may.

escapes you today, Gem :P

He meant some people are lauding Mikel too much for what was an untroubled performance. See the game thread for details.

I know, I was "eh-ing" the fact other people on here may vote for Mikel on today's performance.

Drogba. Let's hope he can keep this form up.

Drogs for me. Great all round performance. Well done Lamps on getting your first vote of the season

It wasn't me!

It wasn't me!

Looks like you've got a rival then

Cole for me. Great going forward. Didnt have much to do in defense though.

Drogba for me, looking hot right now.
