    I'd have to go for Moussa.
    The bloke is a total beast. On and off the field he condicts hinself well and at times IMHO drags the team forward when things aren't looking too good.
    Through the middle we are seeing the best of him that's for sure.

    HBA - Dont even think this answer requires a response. I watch Hull (when we are not playing) just to catch a glimpse

    Must admit I am partial to a defender as well particularly one who can get forward. Think Janmaat is going to be outstanding - just hope we can keep him for a while.

    Janmaat followed closely by Perez.

    Perez has been so clinical in front of goal and is another hard worker.

    You can just look into the horizon to catch a glimpse of that fat bastard


    Mine is also janmaat, I mean, he just looks class doesn't he. Sissoko as well, absolute beast when he puts the effort in and for a while I thought he looked a lost cause.

    Impressed me this season has Sissoko. Really upped his workrate, becoming the player his talent means he should be. It also allows us to use him centrally whereas before it was suicide. The one thing I'll say about the current bunch is there none of this "me, me, me" s**te. Sissoko, Abeid, Tiote, Colback, Obertan, Perez, Janmaat, Colo, Saylor, Dummett, Raylor, Anita, Aarons, Cisse, Sammy - none of them I look at and think "chips are down, he is bottling it". I still think Gouff can be a bit like that. Cabella is a featherweight and goes down way too easy. you have to cut him a little slack though as he is learning the game here. He has got stuck in now and again.

    It doesn't matter how much talent you have, if you don't work hard, it will rarely be seen. We haven't got the most talented bunch and we obviously lack depth, but we do seem to have a bit of backbone which should make relegation unlikely. Looks at HBA, he is just a massive waste. Hull fans must wonder what all the fuss was about him leaving.

    Moussa strikes me as similar to hatem in that he's something of an enigma, can totally run/change a game but has had to be shifted around and was never sure what to expect, works like f** but can be also be incredibly lazy. He seems to get really get it now though, probably thriving in this solid team spirit and with responsibility among our cluster of younger players. It's possible that enigma just equals 'sometimes lazy' though

    And yeah, the players really do look up for it. Credit them and pardew for keeping it together amidst selling cabaye (and I still think people underestimate what a blow that was to not just the team but the overall morale of the club and players and managers mentalities, it was literally a white flag.) i did worry when someone mentioned on here that pardews potential pally act with the players might lead to complacency, I hadn't really considered it and assumed that it could only be a good thing, Thankfully team spirit seems as good as ever. I Don't use Twitter but there's apparently some great banter and genuinely funny stuff posted the players on there (we should have a thread with some of their stuff posted, hint hint acs)

    Also don't think we will be near relegation either and cabella looks alright man, might need a good while before we see the best of him but he has a go and I'm happy enough with that, shows some promise.

    Deffo my favourite Young player by a mile.
    Every time he gets the ball you think something might happen.
    A slim HBA was the last player to get me like that.

    Going to be weird and go for Dummett. An unheralded and unfancied academy product throughtout a lot of last season and the beginning of this, but has stepped it up a notch this season and looks very at home in our defense now. Quick, no nonsense and gives his all.

    Also Raylor, just for the fact he made it back and looks like he never left!

    Seven games ago I asked myself this question and I couldn't come up with a name. Tiote maybe although I've always had a soft spot for Colo.

    Fast forward to today and just about every player has earned my respect and I have to say it's bloody great to see young players coming into the team and showing some of the 'experienced, senior players' how it should be done. Aarons, Perez, Abeid, Dummett and even Obertan have been magnificent. Sissoko looks a different player since we have been playing 3 CMs and coming in off the wing. Janmaat and Colo both looking strong at the back.

    At the moment I love to see Aarons play more than anyone else, Colo would continue to be on club legend status, and Ryan Taylor I think has always been quite under-rated and I love to see him do well, especially now he is coming back from such a long lay off.

    Aarons for me considering his experience and I think Perez close behind.

    Colo, for a long time, despite some small dips in form/off the field issues (and who doesn't have them?). If he is out of the Derby, which I pray to Lord f** he won't, we will lose again. Remember, the recent victories of those c**ts has only come when Colo hasn't played. If he plays they ain't beating us. I'm telling you that now. We know it and deep down, despite all the bluster, those smegma eaters know it.
