Take your pick.

Excellent all round today - not a single player below par. MOTM for me was between Ballack, Lampard and Drogba and I opted for Ballack - bar a couple of wayward shots from distance he didn't put a single foot wrong the entire game.

LAAAAMMMPAARD!!!!!

So great to see Joey back that I had to give him the vote!! Go Joey!!

Joey for me :P

Great performance...had made my Saturday and i have gone for the man who was everywhere...JOEY COLE!!

Could have gone to any number of players but went joey, he was fantastic today. Good to see lamps is scoring again

Essien gets my vote - great display, capped with a cracker from distance.

Very difficult to choose today, which is great! I went for Lampard eventually, but Ballack was very close behind him

Nice to have such a difficult choice. Anelka was good again, Balllack was excellent as was Joe Cole, but I've gone for Frank Lampard. Not only for his two goals (the first of which I managed to miss) but for the vast apparent improvement of his game. I say "apparent" because I don't think he's been playing that badly all season, he's just looked less effective because of the different, less visible role he was asked to play.

Joe for me. I thought he lifted the team and the crowd from the start.

First time in a long time he is going to win one of these awards when he has actually deserved it!

Mentions for Belletti and Frank too. Great to see Paulo back in the first team too.

joey looked great, think he'll get it solely because it was such an impressive return! Ballack played amazingly well all game. However, the way we looked with joey, Frank and Nico all rotating the forward part of the midfield, looked great.

Must add that bruma looked very quick which made up for his lack of positioning at times, but sad to see sturridge looked like he picked up a knock

Essien gets my vote - he was brilliant all round, awesome strike for the goal.

torn between joe cole and lampard.......great to see joe playing again which means lamps can go back with balac

that has got to be the first choice midfield

Lamps for me, barron season so far and comes back in the last two games with 3 goals and a superb work rate. Joey a close second. Nice to see him back and he just adds that touch of magic.

Joe Cole for sure! made an amazing return and played with spirit and soul. come on Joey!!!!

Lamps , he ran the show. Good overall performance by all.

Tough choice today which is always good,

Joey made one of the best returns I have seen and really had the crowd and the team expecting things, he never dissapointed and even tried some of his flicky stuff (which I for one quite like to see)

Can't give him my MOM as Ballack and Lampard were so influential, just tipped in Lamps favour as he capped it with Goals but nice also to see Drogba and Anelka looking very good as well.

a bit overshadowed but Good return for Paulo as well, he got up and down the left side well and looked like he was enjoying it.

bad Blackburn performance but nice game for Joey to come back to and a confidence boost for all involved.

So many good performances tonight but it's Joey that gets my vote, he was full of guile and style and slotted into the new system perfectly.

He's here, he's there ...............he's back and everywhere!

As much as I would have loved to vote for Joey purely on the basis of his creativity, It was Essien who really stood out for me. And he managed to cap his performance with one beauty of a goal.

On a day where so much went right, and so many people shone, I thought Ballack was going to be overlooked. I never saw him put a foot wrong today, was calm, influential, and his passes and through balls were so precise. So he gets my vote.

I think everyone besides Ivan and Cech could be legitimately given MOTM today.

Difficult decision but thought Essien was outstanding .

Voted for Joe Cole. Just so happy for his return. Whole team played well today. Great strike from Ess and great to see Brumna and Sturridge getting the chance.

Ballack gets my vote.

Can't really see Lampard as MOTM as much as I love the guy...

Joe Cool !
