Take your pick

For the billionth consecutive time, it's the Juan, the only, Mata

Despite the rage inducing game, I get significant consolation in the fact that we have this wee man...best player in the league.

Oscar was fantastic. Mata again was at his brilliant best. Hazard embarrassed Rooney a number of times and even drew out his first yellow card in over a year (and won us the free kick that mata scored). Mikel was fantastic after the first 30 minutes. Luiz was the same. To be honest everyone played fantastically after that first 1/3 of the game.

But it's going to have to be Oscar.

and also...Juan Mata early contender for BPL Player of the Year?

Juan Mata.

Oscar, Hazard, Ramires & Mikel all close behind.

toss up between oscar, mata & ramires. also incredible to see mata stepping up to the plate again

Our Matador once again.

Mata, yet another outstanding performance and a brilliant Zola-esque free kick.

Mata was superb,

Oscar deserves a mention too i thought it was also superb, shame he had to come off early as him and mata were linking up so well.

Its between Mata, Ramires and Hazard but once again Mata played a crucial role in almost all our attacking play.

Ramires, the bloke is irreplaceable.

Oscar was superb, if we had the chance to buy another Oscar, £50m wouldn't be too much money, was well pi**ed off when he got subbed when RDM had to change things because of that t**t clattenburg.

Haven't been able to post for awhile, somethings happened to my computer, not sure whats changed and why is working but ...

Lucky enough to go yesterday, great day out great atmosphere worth every penny. My motm is Oscar. He got us back into the game through his energy and drive. He is never afraid to take a player on and rarely loses the ball. His attitude is brilliant. Extremely hard working and his attitude rubbed off on the rest of the team.

Oscar is so impressive - he's not far from having the tenacity of Ramires and the skills of Mata.

For a guy who's just 21 it's amazing how much potential this guy has.

Still, for me, MotM has to go with Mata - he's an absolute class act and has been so important for us lately. Long may it continue!

I think Mikel had a great game, as did Ramires, I went with Ramires.

I also hear Manx fans got a bit of a fright outside..Eye witnesses ?

Oscar for mine. Every touch was sublime. He creates time for himself every time he touches the ball. Love that little 1st touch he has where he flicks it in an unpredicatable area for himself and takes off for it which wrong foots the defense and creates a little havoc. It's pure brazilian magic.

Oscar for me too.. His ability to nick the ball and his ability to find space where there is non, and the ability to get a ball in a dangerous place. The kid has it all...

Ithought Oscar aagin was superb as was the ever energetic Ramires, good touches and movement from Mata and Hazard and great to see Hazard going past players with ease,

Hard to pick a stand out MOM as mistakes were made by some that still had very good games after the first half hour and showed some realy heartening will to win.

I think we would have struggled to contain them without Ramires contribution and his header was taken so well that I tink he edges it for me.

I am looking forward to seeing how well Ceasar slots in at RB and feel if he does well we could see Ivan pop up in the Centre again here and there...nothing wrong with healthy competition for places.

I went for Hazard, I thought that was his best game for a while. Even with 9 men I still felt we were in it with him on the pitch. After he got subbed we were no threat. Ramires & Mata were superb too. Luiz was awful for 30mins, then I thought he played very well.

Ivan was out flop of the match, should have been subbed at half time, he could have been red carded in the first half as well, especially with that ref in charge.

Oscar for me, he was great before we were forced to take him off.

One day Fernando may get this award

One day Fernando may get this award

Hell may freeze over.

I was ALMOST voting for Mikel but went for Ramires, he ran his socks off!

Absolute f**kery of a match. In that first half horror spell we allowed them to go 2 up before we could actually string a pass together. The incompetency of the ref coupled with our bumbling defence(yes this includes the sodding DM) screwed us over big time. Oscar, Mata or Ramires all deserving but have to give it to Ramires. Was everywhere. Beast mode.
