Gonna cast my vote for Hazard. Was tough choosing between him and Oscar but I gave it to Hazard because I felt he got into the game a bit more in the second half.

HM to Oscar and Cole.

Matic for me, he closed down anything that came through the middle.

Matic

Hazard for me. Cut Stoke open time and again and should have had assists today with better finishing by others.

 

Oscar a close runner up and decent enough performance from Matic. Pretty good all round although Eto'o had a bit of a shocker.

Could be any out of Hazard Oscar or Matic, but i went for Oscar

Matic, they never looked like scoring a big reason for that was down to him.

Oscar for me, closely followed by Hazard.

 

Matic had a strong debut too which is nice.

Where is the Eto'o button ? That is taking the Torres bias too far!

Oscar MOTM

1. Oscar

2. Hazard

3. Matic

Matic ... Bossed it ...

Matic was fantastic .Should of been more than 1-0 but job done.

One thing that really stood out to me today was how much pace Cole has lost .

Matic

Oscar great again, with Hazard & Cahill continuing their excellent form.

 

Brilliant from Matic, exactly what we've being crying out for since the Essien/Ballack days. Broke up absolutely everything and made some good passes through the lines.

 

Should have scored more but never looked in danger. Thought Eto'o was quite poor overall, gave the ball away a lot.

Very close between Oscar and Hazard for me but the free kick just sways it.

 

Very impressed with Matic and Cahill had yet another good solid game.

 

Only player who i disappointed with today was Eto'o.

Matic, didn't put a foot wrong....BTW my predictive text called him "magic" !!

Sorry, lads. Forgot to include Eto'o. Certainly nothing against him, just an honest mistake. Thought he had an okay game today.

Went for Hazard

closely followed by Oscar, Matic and Luiz

Oscar.

Matic had a great second debut too, really impressed.

Went with Hazard, he created so many chances just bad luck we weren't able to finish any of them off.

Hazard definitely. Oscar behind him.

 

Matic was good but he was too cagey for the first half. If he played like he did in the second half then he would of been closer to the other two. 

So close between those 3...
Hazard for me, so exciting to watch these days...

"Magic" for me too.

Hazard beats loads of players but he needs a Willian following up and feeding on the scraps.

Oscar the dynamo, although I thought Matic, Cole and Hazard were very good too.

Hazard.

 

But others played well too including Matic and Oscar.

 

Good around performance.  

 

Looked comfortable and should have won by a lot more.

Oscar for me, can only echo everyone else's sentiments re Hazard/Matic.
