Man of the Match vs Swansea

[Kostas 1,468]

It was between the obvious Ramires and Mikel for me, which is interesting considering they're supposed to be our 2 most "negative" players.

Finally opted for Ramires due scoring twice and having the correct timing to be in those threatening positions.

Meireles had also a very good game and Anelka's performance should help his case about retaining his starting spot.

I dunno how anyone but Ramires could be MOTM. Ash is a defending fullback and had no one to give him challenge, he didn't really create anything offensively either, at least not compared to Torres or Ray mears. Meireles was good but you'd expect such a performance, the same with Mikel, they both had strong games but nothing more than what they are paid to do really.

Obvious choice Ramires

the kid a red bull factory !

I am a bit worried for Ramires , though he was really a highlight . He took most of our shot, while he was in the midfield, should a midfielder shoot so often ? If our oppenent was not Swansea, I doubt Ramires would have score twice by taking the same number of shots

if you don't shoot you don't score

Ramires no question.

I said before the start of the season, he will be the Player of the Season, and barring injuries I stick with that

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Ramires obviously. The effort he put in offensively and defensively was unreal.

But really every one that set foot on the pitch in blue was just amazing.

they all amazing but i pick torres

[the Blues 11 19]

Rambo was everywhere and dotted the net twice.

How could Cech have more votes than Mikel? I'm all for loving the big guy but he had barely anything to do in the game.

So are any of you people happy with our win?, i have been wanting creative football for almost a year!, and against Swansea we got it. I don't think we can challenge for the title but i think if we keep playing attractive football and getting better at it as it goes along, we could find out selves in an automatic champions league spot. And i would love to beat the scouse scum in our race for 3rd, we wanted improvement and we got it. And i'm happy about it, i'm sick of us playing shit constantly, and okay it was Swansea, but they were in good form and we had 10 men and we still kicked their arse, so it was good football, and i'm hoping to see a lot more of it.

I think our issues we have are can Sturridge adapt to right wing?, and Lampards squad status, and also the defence. Now the defence, bosingwa was good and him getting shit is just stupid, set piece free kicks will and should get talked about with the manager and the team. But even if it was Swansea i am not convinced our defence is solid at all, i only hope David Luiz can come back and make a huge difference, a big issue is John Terry though, he may need to do a lot of work to get fit for this new defensive chemistry.

Sturridge, he's been pretty poor on the left wing in the last two games, good against Laverkusen however, is he taking time to adapt?, or is he just not going to get it at all?, hopefully he can put a good performance in tomorrow against Valencia, that's if he's playing of course.

Lampard, the media might of been making shit up about him walking off, everyone needs the toilet afterall. I think Lampards a top bloke, and he never complains about anything, i really hope he didn't storm out, he's ruining his image. But i think if this becomes a bad situation with Lampard it could ruin the team, he is not good enough to start, and it's up to him to get himself back in the team and start doing something. So in my opinion he has to go through what everyone else has to go through, he has to prove how good when he gets the oppertunity, such as coming off the bench, or AVB giving him a starting chance. Because he played most of our games because of his reputation, it really couldn't be much else.

Cech doesn't have any votes, well it doesn't show up on mine anyway... still though i think it's shocking Torres has more votes than Mikel, he got sent off very early and besides the goal he didn't make a huge impact, the whole other team would of have to of been playing shit if Torres was to be man of the match, but the team didn't play shit, so i don't know how he has so many votes.

I would never vote for a player who gets sent off in the first half. I agree he was far from MOTM as he only played 39 minutes and put his team under pressure with his sending off. But to say he didn't make a huge impact is selling him short. He was intrinsically involved with the first two goals and he was the straw that stirred the drink for Chelsea while he was on the pitch. It was after his goal that Chelsea looked very good and fluid. He was possibly the best player on the pitch before he walked off. Not MOTM by a mile because of his sending off but for the 38 minutes he did play--he did have a big impact, both good and bad.

Ah nevermind, I was looking at Cole

He played a part in the two match events, but i don't think he was brilliant, especially when Mikel lobbed the ball to him, i think he should of scored that, he has to do better.

Haha nevermind, we all make mistakes.

Every player can do better. Picking on that one player really doesn't bolster your argument. To have scored off of that would have been a spectacular goal. I'm not going to hold it against a player for not pulling off the spectacular. I will criticize a player for making fundamental mistakes. Like two footed challenges, for which I called Torres an idiot.

The question wasn't if he was brilliant. You said he didn't make a huge impact. I say he did in the short time he was on the pitch. Because he abdicated his spot on the pitch through his own fault, I agree he doesn't deserve a single vote for MOTM.
