At half time you would have put your mortgage on it being either Mata or Sturridge but, for me, by the time the final whistle went it was JT by a margin.

Not that others didn't play well, but JT by a mile.

I voted Terry, but Mata, Ramires, Ivanovic, and Cech were fabulous.

agree,,,mata and sturridge had good games, the latter was a source of excitement and frustration in equal measure...but JT...what a performance...was just as good as the woodwork in making sure we kept a clean sheet

For the first time and ages we have a fair number of candidates. JT, Ivan, Romeu, Mata, Ramires.........but has to be Sturridge for me. If he can show that sort of skill regularly he will be a constant threat. Just needs a bit of finishing practice but to be fair, their keeper is the best about right now.

Tough one, could have been either Terry or Sturridge. But I went for Sturridge in the end, since he was involved in practically all of our attacks in one way or another.

Could've been a number of players, but went for Mata myself, he was everywhere, his passing was immaculate, great assist, tracked pack and defended superbly, masterful performance.

Huge respect to JT, Romeu, Sturridge, Ramires and Ivan too.

I've gone with Terry, proper captains performance, but the whole team played well and most would get a high rating out of 10. Sturridge a close 2nd, he just gets better and better. He's still young though and if he improves his decision making at vital moments, we really will have a special talent on our hands. Mata also impressive as were Ramires and Brani.

JT captains performance today.

Mata for sure, he had the lot. Saw a great deal of the ball when we started to hit our stride in the first half and was such a huge part of our attack that I don't know how we would have created chances without him. Even his defensive work was exemplary today - him and Cole were brilliant down the left.

HMs to Cole, Terry, Sturridge and Drogba.

JT, a simply outstanding performance and a nice finger in the air towards those who keep saying he is finished.

JT say no more

Yeah good performances from a few today. If it had of stayed one nil there would be a good argument for Krul getting the overall motm.

However went for JT as well.....only downside was him getting himself booked stupidly.

Mata for me, brilliant assist and gave the barcades a torrid time, Terry was great too, best match I've een him play in ages.

John Terry, outstanding.

Romeu & JT were fantastic, went for Romeu. Mata & Sturridge were brilliant in 1st half & thought Cech, Ivan & Cole were much better too. Ramires worked hard also. Very pleased as found the game very tense.

Easiest one of the season for me.

JT.

JT, all day.

JT looked like he was back to his old self, Luiz (apart from the dodgy first 10 mins) was a good partner for him, Oriol and Romeu ran the midfield and upfront Mata and Studge were outstanding, Lamps was a bit of a let down and Drogba did well in the first half.

JT ... today the team did reflect its leader, top performance

Could pick any of 4 but for me Mata really stood out. Romeu and JT as well. Bar Cole and Luiz at times, everyone was solid.

JT the man we needed that. what about Torres then Kalou came on first is this the end for Torres?

Was strange decision to bring kalou on before torres but I think he didn't want to change anything formation wise and he dosn't believe torres can play on the wing. Although saying that most fans including me were calling for torres at about the 60th minute mark as drogba looked very tired. This is my problem with avb I dont see what he thinks drogba is offfering after 60+ minutes because he looks so tired and torres should be brought on but he waits until the 80th minute!

Mata, created something every time he got the ball. His mates let him down by missing those chances, otherwise he could have 3 assists at least. Terry was great, and bravo to whoever voted Torres , I thought he really made a difference in his cameo

Good performances all over the park, particularly Romeu, JT, Mata and Sturridge - JT takes it for me for displaying, yet again, his great traits, intelligent, strong, brave, reading of the game and heart....
