Derby man of the match..

[DualityNSNO]

Martinez.

 

[nsno-chris]

McCarthy for me; his presence in midfield and his energy was a welcomed return

Stones was boss though, besic impressive as ever

 

[toffee matt]

Gerrard

YNWA

 

[JustOpp]

I'm with @Prevenger17, McCarthy all day.

 

[Zatara]

Stones followed by besic and naismith.

Coleman also had a good game as did jags who was relatively anonymous but put his body on the line where it mattered.

 

[The Equaliser]

Great to have Macca back. Now that he can't possibly be dropped, I wonder who will be.

 

[Milk]

For me, it was the lady in the front row of the Gwladys who gave the double Vs to Slippy when he put the free kick wide. Class.

Otherwise, Stones. Pure, pure style

 

[cronullasharks]

Has to be McCarthy, surely? God we missed him.

Yep, when he gets the ball in our half it's not heart in mouth stuff like when Barry gets it surrounded by opposition players.

 

[Hungariansupport]

I voted McCarthy, his comeback was very solid. And was watching closely their styles with Besic: they're similar but very different at the same time. Yard dogs but Macca has more pace and he's more aggressive whilst Besic is more of a switcher because of his dribbling abilities.

 

[banno]

Stones for me. Comfortable and in the right place and the right time.
Besic for 70 mins but as he has done this season his energy levels dip and a great rate the longer he is on the pitch but what a player we have in him.

 

[bitter-no-better]

Stones for me. I like my bitter.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Can't decide between stones, jagielka or McCarthy.

 

[Coach]

Well I was working on making a feature where everyone could find out their own player of the season later on in the year based on their ongoing votes. But because Tramps_mate nicked my thread he's [Poor language removed] that up and I can't do it now. Public votes, mate, public votes. Cheers.

 

[LAToffee]

Agree with all the choices that folks are voting for. And that's the problem: all defensively minded players.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Booooo this is Coaches thread...booo

I'd say Besic though followed by McCarthy and Stones

 

[LAToffee]

Great to have Macca back. Now that he can't possibly be dropped, I wonder who will be.

Please let it be Barry (but the subs tell me it's always going to be Besic)
