MOTM (Chelsea VS Spurs)

Can I go ahead and vote for Nic now?

you forgot Makelele, bro, who for me is the obvious choice.

want to edit???

I have added Maka - editing it has removed the two votes for Anelka alrady cast

Maka had an excellent game, still at his best.

Maka for me.

Makelele by far. What a player!

The best defensive midfielder ever? Alex, Carvalho and Belletti deserves a mention to.

SWP no doubt. We should never play him on a wing again.

That backheel pass to Anelka was amazing and great goal.

SWP !

Joey did a good game to!

many god moves, he was nearly everywhere on the pitch!

Gone for Belletti. Difficult to choose today because there were many strong peformances. Alex is becoming a Chelsea legend for me. Had Berbatov and Keane in his pocket and he looks so relaxed when he plays.

Anelka is going to take us to another level and quickly become a Chelsea legend.

SWP has really raised his game this season.

Glad to see Joey cut out his rash challenges and has cut back on his recent increase of flicks which often give the ball away in dangerous places. Jose crushed his nuts for that so hopefully Avram's done the same.

Point to note for all the Avram baiters. Ballack, Sheva and SWP got serious abuse on this site last season yet it's been clear for all to see that all three have improved their games no end this season. Could it be that Avram is better skilled to bring the best out of these guys than Jose was? Just asking.

Hmm, tough choice.

I'll make my mind up and vote later; but its between Alex, Beletti and Maka.

Maka followed closely by SWP.

Lot of good players on the park today though. And to Grant (or Clarkey more like it!) for showing the player a dictionary with the word, 'Pressing' underlined...

Having watched the game now i have had to go for Maka, he was imense. i think SWP in the hole looks far more affective than right wing and Anelka when he came on looked double lively, it hopefully looks like some good times ahead.....

Joey did a good game to!

many god moves, he was nearly everywhere on the pitch!

I thought I was alone in thinking Joey was excellent today !!!

I voted JC !!!

Sweepy for me. Belletti was good, Nic looked ssssharppp....

But Wrighty for me all the way!

Belletti for me. This bloke is getting better and better.

Ballack, Joe Cole, Maka, SWP and Alex all played very, very well. And Le Sulk looked better than Sheva and Pizarro put together when he came on. Very mobile. Very dangerous.

It was a really hard choice this week, for all the right reasons.

Defensively we were excellent. When Spurs got on top a bit in the second half, after Taarabt came on, Ashley Cole defended against Lennon superbly. Maka reminded us of what he was like in our title winning seasons and I hope we see a lot more of him. Ballack was quiet yesterday, but SWP had a smashing game at inside right. Malouda was solid, but loses a lot of points for twice giving up on a chase back when Chimbonda was bombing forward. Joey had one of his best games for us this year. Not too much fancy stuff, pity his left foot isn't better as he created space for two or three shots cutting in from the right. Pizarro held it up well but never looked like scoring. Still one of his better performances. Anelka looked class and very nearly had a couple of goals.

Spurs were poor. Keane and Berbatov were marked out of the game by Maka and the defence. Their midfield duo of O'Hara and Boateng was just out of its depth. O'Hara a a super prospect but this was step up too far for him at the moment.

MOM for me was Alex. We have seen how hard an act JT is to replace - just ask Boulharouz and Ben Haim - but I really don't think we are missing him too much at the moment.
