And if anyone asks Lampard's goal hit the back of the net before bouncing back out and Kalou was a good 5 yards onside.

what a nerve wracking win. should be an option to give it to the linesman!! they put up huge numbers for the lads for once. As they are not an option had to give it to the drog, what a spectacular athlete he is

I thought the lino had a stormer today, we give the officials enough credit. Mikel was very good today, I'd probably give it him, but I thought second half was a great team effort.

I gave it to A. Cole, who I thought did a great job at the back and going forward. Our worst player was Drogba (I know, he had a nice free kick, but he had loads of poor passes, and his tantrum with Mariner was uncalled for).

Luiz-solid

Mikel

Mikel gets my vote as well. He was badly let down by a below par Essien in the first half and did the job of one and a half players.

Mikel for me as well. Normally slate him but felt he played very well today. Wasnt even that bothered when Essien went off instead of him. Couple misplaced places but on the whole very good today.

Mikel for me, had a good game against a strong and tricky side, proof he can do it in the better company.

We got lucky today but a win is a win torres for me

Mikel by far our best player today. Luiz, Cole, Drogba & Malouda (in 1st half) played well.

Am I the only one who thought Drogba's passing was appalling, not to mention his hiissy-fit that got him a yellow?

Lamps for me, thought he was great, great tracking back all game. Mikel solid too, he carried Essien at times.

Modric is a class act, have to say.

I thought Mikel was unusually solid in the holding role, he made Essien look redundant in the first half. Credit where credit is due.

Mikel, he was outstanding today

Luiz and Mikel for me. Drogba was below par compared to recent games and his yellow was totally his fault. I'd have taken him off rather than Torres.

Mr consistency, Ash for MOTM, WTF was wrong with Kalou though, see his face after scoring, he's got issues!

I'd go for Ash.

MIKEL, has been the outstanding player in our last two games.

Oh good, late voting for Ashley, who I voted for early on.

As to Kalou, I remember a thread about him having this great interview and being the consummate professional, like Ferreira, who has no problem being on the bench. Well, maybe we have to reconsider that perception of Kalou.

mikel good distribution and strength throughout the game

Went for Kalou, scores the winner in the 88th min and at this rate I dont care how good someone was over the course of 90 minutes!

Our hero for today, keeping the title race alive!

Don't think anyone really stood out for us today. Good solid team performance and it's hardto give it to one of our midfielders when a Sp*rs midfielder totally ran the show for most of the match (Modric).

What a 3 points though and lets hope Arsenal can find some bottle for once tomorrow to keep things interesting.

Mikel had his best game in a while so he gets my vote, I don't think anyone else stood out today but that's fine, if we've re-discovered the knack of winning ugly then that's fine with me.

Went for Branislav. No-one really stood out for me though, but could have possibly gone to Mikel instead.
