I TOTALLY agree with SAFC.com and the voters (I was one of them) However, did anyone see the Northern Echo (or is that Newcastle Echo) who gave Brown a mark of 4!! Was our best defender by a mile on Saturday and the echo gives him 4 out of 10! Wonder what marks their local team got last night?
Apologies - Brown got a 5 but Brmable got a 6!! Coloccini & Steven Taylor (against a far worse defence who passed the ball through and around them with ease) both got 8's!! ****ing biassed piece of **** paper!!
I think Brown was our only good player against Chelsea, everyone else under performed. Although I like Titus he seriously needs to work on clearing the ball with his left foot. Its cost us a few times now. Thr best defender on.the pitch last night was anton Ferdinand.
Totally 100% agree Parker - The Echo released something a little while ago which explained how they marked players saying that 5 was an average performance - nothing good nothing bad - and 6 was slightlye better and 4 was slightly worse - but then to give Cabaye (who I dodn't know was playing until the 58th minute) to be better than average - seems a little biassed in my book - especially when the headline was a dour draw!
I voted as well, it was Chelsea vs Wes Brown for the first half. Shame we let Ferdinand go really as the back four looked settled with him along side Brown, hope that doesnt come back to haunt us.
I honestly think that Brown and Turner would be fantastic. Turner is poor at playing the ball out but a good defender nd with Brown next to him would shine, IMHO
