I'm going for de jong - he was fucking everywhere today and made sure stoke never got the chance to play even their own percentages game. immense.

closely followed by balotelli - as much for his movement off the ball, which i noticed for the first time today. and richards - superb performance.

A agree with the official motm - Balo!

-should of scored if not for a great save
-held up top and kept possesion incrediably well
-great skills
-earned a few number of free kicjs\
-hard work putin

well done

I was very impressed with Mario's discipline, but Nige was everywhere for us, one of his best performances of the season (if not the best)

Mario.

The technique and discipline he showed today was top drawer. Stoke targetted him but he was too cute, too smart and too good for them.

For the first time since he joined us he played like an adult today, a very talented adult.

Well in lad!!!

De Jong for me. Absolutely bossed Stoke.

Plummed for Super Mario thought his disipline was great .

I'm a great de Jong fan and he was magnificent today but I have to go with Mario.

Good performances all over. Thought Lescott had a better game than Vinny and that doesn't happen often. Richards did well. Silva outstanding in patches and Tevez was back to his usual hard working effort.

Balo played his best game so far and did really well to resist the persistent niggling and fouling from Stoke, thought he was going to lose it at one stage but held it together. Excellent sign if that is the shape of things to come.

Big Nige was truly awesome, barely missed a tackle and I think despite their size he pretty much scared the shit out of Stoke. Hero stuff.

Well played boys one and all!

Dame right Nige bossed the midfield and love him for it! He is the best at his position in the world. No one esle can bring order to a game like he can

Niges timing was impeccable today

De Jong easily

went for Nige - but thought Mario was very disciplined........ just thought that our MF won it for us - so it goes to Nige (Balo will be special for us next year)

Super Mario belied his age and rep to win it imo.

nearly everyone i met at the ground today couldnt believe it when balo got it. i have to agree with them, should of been kompany or de jong

Corporal Mark Ward. He set the standards before a kick was even taken.

Mario for me, but they were all great

Excellent team peformance but Balo came of age today.

Balo, great performance.

His post match comments: "I think the whole season I have been playing shit. Can I say that?" HAHAHAHA

De Jong by a country mile. Balo played well, but there were 3 or 4 others just as good.
