You know you've played well, when....

[Ale taster]

You can't decide on the MOTM.
The whole team closed down and harried Stoke really well today.
M'Vila, Catts, van Aanholt - take your bloody pick.

Agreed, I'm going to sidestep to "most improved" - if that had been Coates 1st game we'd all be rubbing our hands .

Van aanholt for exactlty same reason.

 

[MackemMagic]

Coates or M'Vila

thought lee was effective and epitomised the character of the team today mate.

I think Catts had one of those games where he did nothing spectacular but where everything he did counted. He was so steady away. But I agree it's hard to pick a MOM today everyone of them did their job and got the result it warranted

 

[Fireball07]

I'd pick Watmore, he made the difference even if he didn't start.

But the whole team were good.

 

[naughtynose]

Cattermole haway man, he wasn't terrible but contender for motm?

 

[horselover]

Pva for me. Can't believe I'm actually saying it but give credit where its due. Made some cracking runs and put some decent crosses in, not to mention his thunderbolt

 

[skullmeister]

PVA for me, outstanding strike for the crucial first goal but he also defended great and got forward down the left as well, absolutely delighted for him.

 

[Bladecat]

They were all equally shite and caused no problems even when Stoke had 10 men until Johnson took a dive and was given a free kick by the incompetent officials. Says the always gracious Mark Hughes.

Whole team contributed and played as a team, as they did on Monday night

 

[Rober33]

Hopefully this is the sort of performance we can expect when everybody steps up to the mark and does their job and we have no passengers.

Really enjoyed the match today

 

[gardni]

You just watch m'villa and think f***ing hell this guy is fantastic does everything you'd want of him. If he'd scored the chance he had it would have been no contest for motm. Imagine him and ki with borini/lens defo n Johnson

 

[PeruzziWatch]

We didn't play that well tbh. Honestly don't think PvA did anything particularly good before the goal. Cattermole was abysmal.

His passing

Just not buying this whole 'we were class' argument, I'm delighted with the win but we were average enough, we needed a red card for us to take the initiative and go for the win, we succeeded, and it's a huge 3 points, but let's not dress it up as if Catts and PVA had 'blinders'. They didn't. We won and it was a team effort and there was plenty of positives, but it wasn't some outstanding performance by us.

 

[tynerider]

I have belief we are gonna get a lot better now.

Comparatively it was very useful and well drilled

 

[Oli Wagkz]

M'Vila. The lads a class above everyone.

I missed the entire match. I am going to track down a copy of the full match. I have to see this game where PVA played a blinder. I think I have been his fiercest critic. I would be delighted to see him come up with the goods. It is time to get Altidore back?
