Man of the match against Fulham

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

de Jong is a tough as old boots but can also play a bit of football. Reads the game well!
There was an occasion in the second half when he rode a couple of tackles and played the ball a little too far in front of him making it probobly 80/20 in favour of the fulham player (who did get there first) but Nige still blocked it when he really had no right to win it and never turned away (as most players do) from the challenge.
MOTM for me.

That was the challenge that stood out for me in the entire match. As he went for it, I could only see the crunch of bone and the brandishing of a card coming. Superb tackle though.

So it's fair to say De Jong was MOM against Fulham?

Looks as if it's the majority vote.

Agreed looks like he was the MOTM for people on here...

De Jong was immense last night easily head and shoulders above the rest, by far the best player on the pitch!!!

[Mark Garrett]

Nigel De Jong.

He won virtually every tackle he had to make, made countless interceptions and kept possession. Everything you need from a holding midfielder - very much in the same mould as a Makelele, Mascherano type player

Personally I'd go for Craig Bellamy, with a mightily impressive game for the Schlong as well. However, this may have been more to do with their energy levels as the rest of the team seemed to play as if they'd had the blood sucked out of them; wiery and deflated. I'm putting that down to Sunday's game though and the fact they were playing in front of 24,000 homes fans, and a taxi load of away, rather than the atmosphere of 76,000 screaming fans.

I went last night and the only players who stood out for me were, Knock off Nige and Kolo Toure with Nige just edging it as our motm.

Sure did mate, and you? Who's your choice?

De Jong. Put him self about and broke up all the play. I no some don't like him because he is your unfashionable, not very flash spolier but i think he is great. Was really throwing himself into tackles and doing the dirty job. And to the suprise of some on here I saw him spray as 50 yard cross field ball on the volley....nice.

And some of you wonder why one of my favourite words is fucktard. How many times have I said over the past two weeks that it isn't the reason? How many times have I stated my case in both reason and statistics? (That were first derided when I used them and then used the following week to prove how good he was, champion effort there) How many times before it starts to feel like you are beating your head against a brick wall because people aren't really reading what you are writing because they are too involved in their self-righteous indignation or glorification to respond to what other posters actually write? How many times before I can use the word FUCKTARD without people filling up two pages with responses to my use of that word instead of the topic?

I do despair.

Well, he did claim when he arrived that we were a stepping stone club for him and just recently he said after one start that he deserved his spot in the starting lineup and wouldn't be happy dropping back to the bench.

Of course you only get strung up from the nearest tree if you are brazilian for that sort of behaviour.

I went to the game..De Jong was my vote.He really does read the game well.Bellers worked his ass off and was a close 2nd.I was surprised he was so lively considering the effort he put in against the rags.

These comments are doing my head in. Do you think that myself and others who think he's poor don't actually know what his job is?

How would you like it if we signed Lee Trundle, you said it was a bad move and I said "Well, I think people don't like him as he does the boring stuff like poaching goals"

Oh right, just wondered why you would question those who have already mentioned it mate?

His job is to do what MH tells him to do..If you have watched him for his country he is more attack minded in his role.
We cant have all these glorious superstars all over the pitch can we..De Jong does the unoticed dirty work, but if you watch the guy for 90mins you will appreciate him more.
I do feel when Kompany gets back theres goin to be a threat for his place..I cannot seeing the 2 playing together very often anymore judging by the current setup
