Best individual performance you've ever seen?

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Are you kidding? That fourth goal was one of the best goals in history. Even the other goals were excellent goals that took great physical and technical skills. He was simply unplayable that day.

Unplayable for Caulker.

Same applies for that Archie Thompson performance. Some of his 13 goals were absolute belters, taking great physical and technical skill. He obviously was also unplayable that day.

Anelka once scored 4 goals vs AC MIlan in a friendly. Even though all those goals were nicely taken and he obviously was "unplayable", I would not think of including that here, just because it was a friendly and their goalie was Kalac. Thing is, the quality of the opposition and the importance of the game SHOULD play a part. If not you could include any fluke vs any shit team in a nothing game and the whole collection of great performances would be ridiculed. I once scored 7 goals in the final of a Luxembourgish football academy tournament (the game ended 10:6 ) including a 40 metres piledriver and a backheel-volley-lob (which was a complete fluke, I had not even seen the ball) and completely owned the shit out of the defenders of Fc Düdelingen. Mainly because they were 15,16 year old kids half my size. Personally this performance was probably more remarkable than Ibra's vs an England C-Team with Steven fuckin Caulker. Still I would never dream of including that performance into our list here, cos it was not really competitive and not high-level. Just as Ibra vs England C.

Eddie Niedzwiecki better known as Eddie for obvious reasons - away in the League Cup v Fulham - I had the pleasure of sitting next to a pissed up Phil Daniels that night in Putney and if he can remember anything I am sure he will tell you how well Eddie played ,he was brilliant.

Cech in the final ! no doubt about it.

Drogba against Liverpool at anfield (2005)we won 4-1 , "unplayable" that day he didnt score but had a hand in all 4 goals the only sour point that day i had Lampard to score first and Chelsea win 3-1 it was ridiculous odds and Geremi came on as a sub and scored in the last 10 mins grrrrr , i was on holiday in Portugal watching it in small local bar going crazy. Happy days.

It's hard to pick out people but Drogba and Ronaldo always do great individual performances

Lampard V Stoke when he scored the winner in the 93rd minute. One of the best midfield performances I've ever seen.

Cannavaro vs Germany in 2006 i think it was. Epic defending.

Jovetic vs Inter Milan a few years back. Unbelievable individual performance.

Gascoigne vs everyone. What a football player!

Zola always gave me a boner.

Batistuta, Zidane, Ronaldo9, Ronaldinho as soo many other players had special games. I always remember Rivaldo vs Man United in 1999. Scoring that bicycle kick to level it.

David Luiz just after he arrived against Manchester City was certainly one of the best defensive displays i have seen for Chelsea, i know he has divided opinion since, but surely not even his biggest detractor could put down that display.

Didier Drogba at Anfield in 2005. Shay Given vs Liverpool late 2008 despite Newcastle losing 5-1 was one of the best keeper displays i have ever seen.

I have already touched on Cech in Munich.

Only one that instantly springs to mind is this:

He came on in the 60th minute and scored a hat trick. When he came on we were 2-1 down

Great shout! Was at that game and it was brilliant to watch Jimmy at his best like that!
