MoM v. CCM

MoM v. CCM

Vote away...

No one really stands out for me.

I was listening on the radio so probably shouldn't vote but by the sounds of it Paston made some crucial saves. Ifill sounded dangerous when he was in the game and so did Bertos.

Super ted, the CCM lion Mascot with the bandaged foot.  Looked the part.

You need a better excuse.

Muscat for me. Not one of those performances that shine when you're watching but fantastically tenacious, tight-marking and several useful forays up field.

Said Paston in the other thread but i think Durante pipped him. Looked solid as a rock in the middle at the back, saved our asses countless times.

Good to see Lochy and Manny playing well too.....

Said probably shouldn't.

Doesn't mean I didn't

Durante for me. Was critical in keeping our clean sheet today. A shame our best player wasn't an offensive player.

absolutely and utterly paston.

Durante made some crucial tackes, and the defence / keeper has to be in the running when the result is 0-0. Not a bad vote, but I personally couldn't give it to him as I felt he gave the ball away poorly sometimes - too many long balls when he didn't need to. And not sure - wasn't he one of the guys who gave the ball away horrendously just outside the box?Colvinator2009-09-27 19:32:47

Muscat for me played really well got forward most of the day and distribution pretty good. Durrante and Sigmund committed performances but their distribution was tragic.

Best game I've seen from Lia he was solid and passed ball around well.

Yes, he was.

I'm the first to bag Paston... except today

Made plenty of saves to keep a clean sheet. Don't like him having to make saves at his feet because he isn't great getting down, but certainly earned the title today.

Thought this was one of the best performances I had seen from Muscat. Paston made a few good saves and did well to get a clean sheet, for once. Ifill is definitely our best player and created heaps in the first half just ashame about his hamstring as you could tell he was struggling. But I thought Vince Lia was the best out there today, a lot might disagree but rarely do we notice his presence but he made many key saves and was solid in the middle.

Last week I thought Paston made saves that other keepers might not have and voted for him.  this week i thought he played well and showed good judgement coming out to deal with some dangerous attacks. But I felt more that he simply did the job against a pretty ordinary attack that has one of the lower goals for (same as us).

For me Ifill is still the man.  Even on an off day with a hamstring troubling him he's stil the standout player in the side.  Had the best chances and created more than any-one else. Plus worked back deep defensively.

I can't give the other midfielders the vote when they were dominated for possession.  A lot of loose touches.  I thought the defense played solidly, particularly Manny, but siggy and durante both coughed up dangerously around the box, durante still plays a lot of ordinary long balls and too many dodgy moments to give one of them MOM.  But Manny would be my alternate MOM.

Yea, my top 3 are: Ifill, Paston, Muscat.

Muscat for me. Looked composed.

Voted Muscat as he was brilliant all round the park.  Angry little man on D and got forward well.

Gave my vote to Muscat, could just as easily have given it to Lia or Paston though. Ifill was incredible considering the hammy.

Not necessarily MOTM but I thought Lochy is showing signs of becoming the player he was in V1.

Side question...

If it's like last year, we'll remember two days beforethe awrds night and use search to go back and find the threads.

Hmmm, yeah I'm not so sure.  Looked relatively solid in D(1-on-1) but I still think he's a bit lazy when needing to get back (especially when he loses the ball), and he needs to get his head up more when crossing - sure he puts it in an area but he'd be much better off picking out a player.

Paston of course. Great game showing why he is one of the top keepers in the league even without his usual terrific organisational game. Durante a very close second.

who the f**k voted for Lochhead ????

did you see the "crosses" he did in the second half ?? the one where the ball sailed 50feet over the cross bar ?

and the aimless headers

and the aimless ball pumped up to Greenacre

(oh, next week - PLAY AT LEAST 2 UP FRONT AT ALL TIMES !!!!!!!)

is it too much to ask for Herbert ????????????

just try it, for one f**king week and see how we go.

Paston for me, commanded area well and for once didn't make me feel uncomfortable having him there.  Dura, Manny and Lochy all very very good at the back.

paston cos he kept it clean, manny and ifill up there again.

Seems like we've all seen the same game!

Paston definitely having a good game and the defence working very hard too. Durante, Muscat and Lia all getting back and closing down attacks,

Again however, second half - what went wrong? Seemed like aerial ping-pong and hopeful long balls.

Would agree with the general consensus on this poll EXCEPT durante. Gave the ball away too much

You are so right. I have never seen a player at this level give the ball away as much as he does.
Riki came out some time ago and said that Lochhead was the best left defender in the league.
This guy is the WORST defender in the league and if he is going to be fisrt choice in the AW (which he is) we are going to be in trouble in the play offs.

Yes, well there were two parts to the defence this week. Tenacious and good running back to cover the attacks. then once they had the ball they hoofed it up or played to an opponent.

Voted for Manny. I must have not been paying attention cause I can only remember one really spectacular save by Paston. Admittedly that was a stunner but were there more?
On a side note why is Super Leo continually running out of puff and needing to be subbed these days? I don't remember it happening last season.

At times last season Lochhead was our best crosser of the ball. He's put in some good crosses this season also. At least one today. A couple of shoddy ones too, I agree. Actually thought Durante was worse in terms of passing today.
