Eto'o

[Howardshands]

Eto'o hands down.

[Steve_E]

Eto'o. Just a class player. Just love watching him move and manipulate the ball in tight spaces. Ross has that as well.

[Romey 1878]

Without question; Eto'o.

[Newty82]

Eto'o.

 

Forget the 2 goals.

 

This is about his movement on and off the ball. His touches are supreme. He see's defence splitting passes. Creates space for himself and his team mates. Draws defenders in and leaves them standing. Rocks centrally and works the flanks.

 

You can see he's played at the highest level for most of his career. Both Lukaku and Barkley will learn loads from this guy.

 

He stood out in the first 45 vs Lille to me (but not for a full game hence my no vote!).

 

Shout to Naismith and Osman too. I don't like them both in the wide positions due to lack of pace and tendancey to drift in. But both did very well.

[EFC-Paul]

Eto'o

 

The guy is top class even in his twilight years he's still got it

[Peter H]

Naismith for me. Etoo was class though

Baines is our most consistently good performer I agree.

[Toffee_in_LA]

Eto'o did a wonderful job taking his chances and linking up our play very well. Barry also put in a solid shift and I was going to throw him a vote but Eto'o is just class, can't not vote for him

[Lowensda]

Eto'o, followed by Baines and then possibly Alcaraz.

[MC11]

Agree. Alcaraz was very good.

[Guest millwallforever]

Alcaraz was almost atrocious in the 1st half; excellent in the 2nd.

[Steve_E]

I thought Alcaraz was very good in the first half as well, was about to post it at the time until Jutkiewicz overpowered him to get a shot in and decided to shut up.

[Guest millwallforever]

I noted three cock-ups by him him in the 1st half. Two of those would have resulted in a goal if the opponent in question had been Suarez and not some Championship mediocrity.

[BlueBlood81]

Eto'o. Class!

[Paddock]

I cannot believe nobody else picked Mcarthey. The whole block where I was sitting werell in unison that although Eto was brilliant today and scored 2 goals Mcarthey was just unbelievable.

[Matt]

McCarthy.
