Motm v. Bayern

[ace]

Take your pick, I'm assuming Drogs and Cech will garner most of the votes, but thought Mikel did great too.

[aliboy66]

Well done

[Hitsu]

Cech for me, while he might have been able to do better for the goal, he was immense with all the penalties. Dove correctly on all 6 and I'm pretty sure just got fingers to schweinsteigers as well

Drogba a close second and then Mikel, Ash and Torres for me

[Remodez]

Changed my mind again, gone for Mikel now that I think about it.

Cahill deserves a good shout, how calm and composed was he? Didn't put a foot wrong. Never played in a final like that and he looked as experienced as anyone else.

[Bobbywoodhogan]

Ashley Cole by a mile, without a doubt the greated Left back of all-time

Mikel was outstanding too aswas Lampa

Drogs stole the show as he always seems to in the cup finals

To be honest the whole team played well, I was super impressed with Bertrand too, we have a great long term replacement for Ashley Cole right there.

Cahill was excellent, so cool must be loving it leaves Bolton in January they get relegated and he ends up with a cup double

Also Cech you are a legend, proving the doubters wrong your still the top keeper in the world

[That Boy Brandinho]

Cole, Cahill, Cech, Drogba, Mikel...I cannot pick one from the bunch. This time MOTM must stand for Men of the Match, surely.

Got to give a lot of credit to Ryan Bertrand for doing really well in any very difficult situation that he was put in. He will be a great player for us, mark my words.

[BlueBeard]

That was a superb team performance, very difficult to choose one over another. But...I've gone for Mikel, he hardly put a foot wrong all night, and broke down so many of Bayern's attacks. Ashley was also great, a master performance in defending. Even Bosingwa played well (shhh, don't tell anyone I said that), and Ryan, Cech, Luiz, Cahill, Drogs and Lamps had fine games. Kalou was OK, but frustrating, and I felt Torres should have come on earlier.

But I'm not complaining at all - a great Chelsea performance!!!

CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zeta]

Ashley cole, player of the tournament for me. f**king immense. Cech as well. everyone really, though Kalou was still frustrating as hell. Torres offered so mcuh more when he came on.

[Sheva]

Like I said in the match thread, Mikel takes it for handling the occasion like a pro and played consistently well all night. Drogba and Cech stole the headlines though.

[Phillip]

Like I said in the morning, Mikel is perfect for playing against German and Italian teams, and his minor problems only show up in the fast-paced English league. Today, he was perfect. Though he committed one or two fouls at the 25 - 30 yard area that made me a bit worried. Thankfully, Robben's free kick boots were not working today.

[Ozztheboss]

Mikel for me. Can't believe all the hate he gets here.

[The Moos]

Such a great team performance. Three players really stood out: Cech, Drogba and Mikel. Also Bertrand deserves a mention because he did a really good job considering it was his first CL game and it was in the final.

Went with Cech though, just because he did save those penalties. Drogba close, very close, second and could perhaps deserve to get my vote, but giving up that penalty makes him 2nd.

Want to give it to Mikel though. Damn, why can't we get two votes!

[Cam]

Petr....Bossy, Cahill, Luiz, Cole, Mikel, Lampard, Kalou, Mata, Bertrand, Drogba, Malouda, Kalou

Who the f**k cares? None of them, all of them.......

But I went Petr :P

[TomW]

Lamps or Obi were

[TorresRightBoot]

Mikel for me was top class ! Ashley Cole aswell was sensational left robben quiet !

[PloKoon13]

Almost impossible to choose.

Luiz, Cahill and Bosingwa for their passable impression of a brick wall? Ashley Cole for establishing himself as one of the all-time great left backs?

Mikel was brilliantly solid, Drogba pulled it out when he had to, but I have to go for the #1 (in more ways than one). Magnificent. Sheer class.

[Katon]

Cole, with massive apologies to Drogba, Mikel, and Cech; but really, everyone on the team defended brilliantly.

[PlateSpin]

Cole all the way for me. Made some really important blocks, was solid all night and just oozed confidence. But hats off to every player on the pitch. We were down and out more than once but still we came back to stick it to em!!!!!!!!

[Tommy26]

Ashley Cole, forget what people say, what and athlete and what a player. Best in the world by a mile, and that penalty ! was probably the best of the lot.

[Snedger]

They're all heroes but I voted for Bertrand. Amazing that a young lad with little first team experience played such a solid and faultless performance.

But Drogba is up there with Osgood and Zola as the greatest human to pull on the royal blue!!!!

[Bluehatter]

As much of a legend he is drogba didn't have a great game tonight! Gave away a pen and gave the ball away regularly. Scored a massive massive goal though! Cole or cech with special mention to EVERYONE who contributed to that win.

Game changed when torres came on and he proved that he deserved a starting spot. I really hope we keep him because I think he has turned a corner now in his chelsea career.

[icecoolguy22]

Cech definitely knows how to save penalties

There are at least 3 players deserve the honor, but you can't beat a GK saving 3 penalties in the cup final.
