Polly Tevez for me. Absolutely changed the game for us by giving us an on the floor option up front. He held it up brilliantly, evaded opposition players and brought others into play.

He looked like a player with a point to prove.

Special mentions to the Bulldog and Superman and Ned.

Wayne Bridge for me. I thought he was really good yesterday both going forward and defending and bounced back well from Burnley disaster.

DeJong was really effective first half and I think it's because of him it was even at the break. He was doing most of Barry's work as well!

De Jong was the only player to stand out in the first sixty or so minutes for me, but on the face the past month or so, I went for Lescott. He looked very assured a) away from home b) alongside an injured Toure/returning Nedum c) against his former rivals and a top four club.

Tevez also wins the Leslie award for dynanism - was good to see some life from us.

Polly for me too, Nige was magnificent but Tevez really changed the game around and even improved the output of SWP and Ireland when he came on.

wrinkly dog, followed by tevez

Agree with all of that Slim.Tevez for me.The Bulldog a close 2nd.

Even a mate of mine who despises tevez, I mean fucking hates him said he was MotM, so he must have done alright.

De Jong just ahead of Tevez for me (I cant give it to someone for less than a a half even if they did so well) - special mention to our back four and Ireland

Tevez for me, held the ball up really well not only allowing more midfielders to get involved but also giving the defence a breather. Before he came on the ball just kept coming straight back

From where I was sat I'd say Ireland. But then what was going on at the far end of the pitch was anyone's guess at times. God bless the ergonomics of COMS.

Lescott and SWP played well too. Zabaleta, Adebayor and Barry were outstandingly crap.

Bulldog for me.

De Jong jsut pips Tevez for me. Shout out for Lescott as well, looked much more like the defender we thought we were signing.

De Jong just ahead of Tevez.

Tevez - good substitution, came on and changed the game, which I guess is what we bought him for.
