markjazzbassist Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 holgate mori and barkley the best of the bunch for me. Gonna give it to Holgate as he had Benteke in his pocket all match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Gonna go for Davies again. Seemed to be involved in everything. Assist for the goal, and in the last few minutes of pressure, for his foot in and disposed them three times in one attack. Robles with an excellent save to keep the scores level. Coleman with a tireless performance and a rocket finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I only watched the 2nd half but Joel was really good. Superb save, couple of simple ones and then came out and claimed the ball alleviating the pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Joel has stepped up. Cracking save! Kept us in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Be a few today. But Barkley stood out for the vast majority of the game. He put a lot in today. Made a lot happen. Top effort from him. Shouts to Robles, Coleman, Holgate. Lookman looked nice when he came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeQuince Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Barkley. He ran the show. But, the team as a whole was solid. MC11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Holgate. Solid all game. Robles deserves credit for stepping up in the final 10 minutes and easing the pressure. Barkley had a good day in midfield, but wasn't clinical or sharp enough around the area. He needs to start shooting low and not take his time before hitting it, let his instincts take over.

Matt Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Barkley, but again there were several contenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Joel has had his critics (me included) in the past but today he made a worldie to keep us in the game at 0-0, then commanded his 6 yard box to take a few crosses and take the pressure off the defence. I think there were quite a few 7.5/10 performances today but, for me, Joel gets an 8 and a well deserved motm.

Cornish Steve Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Very tempted to give to Barkley, who's beginning to get his confidence back. Given the context of his save, though, and his increasing presence and influence at the back, it has to be Joel Robles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeghead1 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Went for Robles today our defence is so much more assured with him behind brilliant save at a crucial time aswell. We actually look to be playing like a team that knows what they are doing now aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Barkley. Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Holgate for me - I like how he brought the ball out of defence and surged forward on the goal. His general defending was solid too. His confidence seems to be growing game on game. Barkley bossed it but thought his final ball was poor yesterday. His shots seemed 'shot come crosses'. Although not involved with many goal scoring chances I thought Lukaku battled well, got in decent positions and generally kept their defenders busy creating the space for others - mainly Barkley.

StevO Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Barkley. Great win though, looked like a team who are fighting. Only Rom, Baines and Coleman guaranteed a place now. Real competition. I like us scoring while Palace are moaning too. Nasty side to us! markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Joel deserves credit for popping up with that save and then commanding his box when the pressure was on. It's one of the hardest things as a goalie to stand around for 75 minutes or so without a shot on target and then suddenly be called upon in a 10 minutes flurry. I have so much more faith in him when a looping ball gets lobbed into the box than I do with Stekelenburg, hopefully his consistent performances keep him in the team for the foreseeable future. That said, it's hard to look past Barkley when discussing yesterday's match. He basically ran the show and put in the kind of performance that you'd want from such a player. It's a touch disappointing that he didn't find the back of the net as he really deserved to be on the score-sheet but I'm sure this good game will drive him on to put in more like-minded performances going forward.
