Man of the Match vs Bayer Leverkusen

[zolayes 14,489]

Lets just hope Kalou never plays for Chelsea again and anzhi makhachkala make a 10 milion bid for him in January! :blue scalf:

brilliant post ,,,there has also got to be one ....

[OReillyD36 311]

Raul Meireles stood out the most for me while he was on the pitch, Mata was exceptional also

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Mikel for me, had a solid game defensively and showed a decent array of passing at times. Big improvement.

5 votes for Torres? Yeah he got two assists but he was otherwise no better than usual. I'm yet to be convinced.

If it were not for those assists we would of drawn the game.......

For that reason Torres, one small step towards a return of confidence. Mata, one word - QUALITY!

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Danny boy, was superb throughout! If he didn't how why he is an starter, i don't know what else he could do more! Biggest threat throughout the match, and took on the defenders in order to find space when marked. He truly is the only person for that right wing. Only thing i can say he should do more is connected with Bosingwa, like Mata did with Ash and Anleka did when he came on.

Good to see there's a nice distribution among the votes for the players for the past 2 matches...definitely a good indication...

Players who stood out for me: Mata, Torres, Sturridge, Luiz and Cech(solid, but made some important saves to prevent them from taking the lead while it was 0-0)

Also special mention to Cech's opposite number; thwarted us on a number of occasions

[manpe 10,861]

Voted for Mata... notable mentions to Sturridge, Luiz, Čech, Mikel and also Torres for his assists

[Spike 12,049]

Mata...damn what a player we have now!

Everytime I see Luiz play I realise we have one of the best attacking CBs in the world.

[Kostas 1,468]

Juan Mata. Nevermind scoring a goal, he is just a class apart at everything he does.

[sodasys 40]

without any doubts MOTM is david luiz

[robdog 2,084]

There is only one Juan Manuel Mata!!!

[tnchelsea 79]

Got to say Mata, he was clearly the best player. Meireles also had a good game.

[Rambo 1,729]

Mata may very well be our player of the year.

[Hysteria 159]

David Luiz!

[blue out west 27]

Voted for Mata because he linked the mid with the strikers really well, and had a good consistent game. Mikel gets honourable mention, thought he was great in the 2nd half.

5 votes for Torres? Yeah he got two assists but he was otherwise no better than usual. I'm yet to be convinced.

Statisticaly , Yes. So I voted Torres for having shown a great promise , while it is obvious that Mata has almost dominated the midfiled for us. ( I'd say, from TV, I saw him EVERYWHERE ,especially on opponents' half )

What Mata did was impressive, he deserve that goal , and he is really the man of the match .

[Waterfall 893]

Mikel was the best for me but Torres definitely contributed to the win which was great to see. Anelka's pace was fascinating to watch as well.
