Steve_E Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Mirallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoward18 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Baines. He dominated the left side, got Sterling on a yellow early and forced Liverpool to completely change their tactics. Mirallas was doing some great things until he got hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus jones Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Jags, if it were not for him could have been a long old afternoon, Mirallas oozes class though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'm going to give it to Naismith, as his movement was superb all game. Mirallas was good, but I prefer to give it to guys who play both halves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Want to say Mirallas but he only played the first half. Not enough imo. Naismith was good, Osman was good, Coleman had a good game but i think ill go with Baines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodisonRoad Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Nobody stood out apart from Mirallas, dont think he should be motm after a 45m performance though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Mirallas would have walked this had he not have been stamped on by a dirty red (one of many) to prematurely end his afternoon. Gave it to Coleman though, was lively and energetic throughout. I was really disappointed with Jelavic today - he needs to do more to get into games like today.

flaminfox Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 gave it to mirallas, he was just too good the first half before that scumbag hurt him. thought coleman, naismith and Baines did well also but I had to choose kevin Lowensda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodisonRoad Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Good shout actually, gone with Coleman. Was pissed off to find him starting as i thought Sterling would have a field day, but he did okay defensively and i thought he was a threat going forward. Though i think he was slightly at fault for their first goal as he got caught ball watching when Enrique had gone past him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonButtle Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Gave it to Coleman, i was really worried about him prior to the kickoff but he showed how much he's improving as a player and he could have scored, well done Seamus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsy Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Mirallas, he was awesome first half, our game wasn't the same without him, nobody stood out for me second half to nick it off him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQuince Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 It's gotta be Naismith. I would've gone with Mirallas had he finished the game. But, Naismith came in, had some impressive incisive one-touches, and scored an amazing goal. He came out of nowhere on that. Great instincts. I want this Naismith to show up all the time. Coleman was definitely at fault on the one goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I was torn between giving it to Osman or Neville ! Gave it to Neville in the end. Would've comfortably been Mirallas had he played the full game. The fella was destroying the shite singlehandedly. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 This thread shows just how differently people see the games. I thought (and so did everyone around me at the game) that Naismith was terrible, but he's getting rave reviews here! pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodisonRoad Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I thought Naismith was poor as well tbh and i was tempted to give motm to Nev, even though he was getting slated in the other thread. The only reason i didnt give motm to nev is because i thought he was pretty "meh" in the second half, as were most tbh. Oh and i didnt go to the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I was torn between giving it to Osman or Neville ! Gave it to Neville in the end. Would've comfortably been Mirallas had he played the full game. The fella was destroying the shite singlehandedly. Agreed. Thought those two did brilliantly. Thought we'd get dominated in the middle, but it was arguably our strongest asset today. I would give it to Nev but that 'dive' was awful, so he'll not get my vote on this one. Special mentions; Baines, Coleman and Mirallas. Awful; Naismith, Jelavic and Gueye (who I thought was a total waste of space for 45 minutes - Oviedo looked good for the 6 mins he was given, surely a better option!?)

rubecula Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 If Mirallas had been on for the second half he would have walked it. Being subbed at half tome made it a little more difficult. I finally went for Osman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I picked Osman, little warrior today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwlad Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Between Jagielka and Coleman, went with Jags as I thought he saved us on more than one occasion. Agree that Jelavic looked poor today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Mirallas, Naismith was abysmal, looked like he was playing in quicksand. Seriously flat footed, wrong footed etc. We need Gibson back asap, the midfield was vacant - far too many stray passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Naismith was abysmal, looked like he was playing in quicksand. Seriously flat footed, wrong footed etc. Great movement throughout the game and scored - yeah, what a tosser... I gave it to Mirallas however, he only played the first 45 minutes but put in the best shift I've seen this season, had that horrible racist cunt not injured him he'd have scored our third.

I agree with Haf , dont worry I am trying not to make a habbit of it! Yes Naismith scored but it was his only contribution to the game, he looked way off the pace and completely devoid of ideas. Wether thats because he just needs games under his belt or not I dont know but I think apart from Villa away he has been really poor all season I think Jelavic is out of sorts at the moment as well, this season if he gets the ball inside the box he seems to come alive and I end up cheering a goal however if he gets it anywhere else on the pitch it normally results in a groan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now though the focus is more on Felli and he's also now playing in front of Jelavic on a regular basis. I think Mirallas or Naismith would be better behind Jelavic so they can put the ball through for him, and i think he would prefer to play with one of them rather than Felli. One thing i noticed yesterday was the number of balls that were over hit from midfield for Jelavic to run on to, but he's not the quickest and he needs it into feet imo, he also spent alot of time out wide i think also because Felli was pushing forward, and id rather have Jelavic in the middle.

Bailey Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Neville for me... His best performance of the season so far. I can understand why people think that Naismith wasnt very good because he does just do some really sloppy things but he does have a little spark in him and while it didnt quite come off yesterday, there were a few passages of play where him and Jelavic were on the same wave length, looking to play the other in but for whatever reason could find that final ball. I think they are both a bit out of form, but when they start firing again I think we could be in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonKey Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 If Mirallas had played the second half it would've been him comfortably. I was pretty pleased to see Coleman in at fullback, as I see that as where he'll end up hopefully giving us some nice balance. Tempted to go for Ossie, but notable mentions for Neville, Jags, Baines and Fellaini too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
