Yossi Benayoun was excellent today - great engine and made some v important contributions. Controversially, I thought Richard Dunne was a close second; just seen the match back in its entirety and apart from his two errors was excellent.
Could be Carroll, Yossi, BAE or arguably a few others today, but I give it to Green for that 1 amazing match winning save, and because it was really about the first time I felt we had a really good Keeper. And on a day the defending in front of him at corners was appalling.
Went for Yossi. Convinced work to fly me back to UK for next 2 months so secured tickets for rest of the season after missing it all year. Best game seen Carroll play. Green saved a great stop at last 15 mins as well. Hope!
Was gonna vote for Bobby who even got his own thread !! decided it was easier to have a sheep mentality and go with Carroll ,
As I said in the OP I didn't think there was a stand out candidate so I am surprised to see Carroll and Benayoun cornering the lion's share of the vote to date. That said most players have had their performance appreciated by someone, only Simpson, Assou-Ekotto, Jenas, Austin and Zamora not registering as yet. Before he got injured, Jenas was turning in a MOM performance, Zamora, in my opinion, inspired the late goal burst; I guess neither were on the field long enough to count. Surely the unluckiest among them must be BAE. He kept Jamie quiet all match long and still had time to show of some silky touches. Did he put a foot wrong?
Hoilett for me he was the danger man upfront and showed all his quality. Don´t know why they picked Morsison as he had not the best of games yesterday never mind the last 5 minutes.
Yossi.....because he was so much trouble to Forest. He really cared, he worked so hard...impressed But I can say the same about Carroll, it was Carrolls shot that Benny put in Both played well....but voting Benny as I think he will become more and more influential in the last 4 + matches
Benayoun for me, rolled back the years, even showed a bit of pace and played with intelligence. Carroll too was excellent, very good technically and can certainly hit a good pass.
I voted for Green, but mentioned BAE. I thought he had an excellent game yesterday both defensively and with some sublime crosses and passing, one headed one in particular.
I went with Hoilett. Thought he made lots of good positive runs and looked dangerous. Still think there is lots more to see from him.
