POTM - October

I think pepe reina is better than cech.

Perhaps as a shot-stopper and with his distribution, yes, but only very marginally. Overall, Cech is the better of the two at this time.

[Mário César 812]

Cech.

[Kostas 1,468]

It's between Cech,Ivan and Yuri for me. Picked Petr for consistently saving our asses.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,451]

i wanted to go for Yury because i think he`s been underated by a lot of fans and has made huge strides in converting the doubters...but in the end i couldn`t go against Petr because like already said..he has saved our bacon several times this month with a lot of fantastic saves.

i`m happy tho..the top two players this month are represented in my avatar and sig pic.. :eyebrows:

JT has been great too..Bison has had a bit of a down month but is only a minor blip of form i`m sure.

Agree with you about Yuri being underrated. Personally i'm a huge fan, i think he's a fantastic player and have been saying since his arrival.

Ancelotti should expiriment putting Malouda on the right and Yuri from the left wing once or twice. I think it could work.

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

Went for Ivanovic. Has been a rock in defence

[Rambo 1,729]

i'm not sure stat wise, but Anelka has been superb for us so far.

[zolayes 14,489]

such an unusual vote this month ...no votes for JT , Lamps... Essien or Drog ,,,,Shows the all round strength of our squad.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks that besides the Arsenal game, Drogba's been shite this month. He looks disinterested and to be honest I think we've played better football when he's been out of the team, such as in the European matches.

Nah, you're not the only one.

I've got an "information" which could explain that : apparently, he's not at 100 per cent, he has few little injuries...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Yeah, he looks as if he's been struggling with a groin injury of some kind. Just looks a million miles from the player he was last season.

How odd it is that he played a whole season last year with a hernia injury and had one of the best seasons in his career. Upon fixing that he's been struggling..

Just some food for thought there

[Madmax 9,219]

Is his heart here? Is the upcoming game with OM playing on his mind? Or is that stretching it too far?

Correction: the best season in his career.

It's a weird case but maybe it's his age catching up with him. I'm not saying he's not gonna get any better but his consistency could be dropping.

Well we've seen the problems arise with Lampard's injury coming as a result of hernia surgery... I'm just wondering if he's feeling some similar ill effects.

Possible. I doubt he'll ever have another season as great as last year in all honesty. That being said he's an incredibly fit athlete and I don't think he's past his best just yet.
