Player of the match v Hammers

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Yaya easily.

Thought Kolo was great until the unlucky OG.

[Chinners]

It just shows how fickle and cruel football fans can be. Some 10 days ago he was a national hero and now Alan can't even get in the top 6 of our best players today ... shocking stuff tbh

I thought Nigel was immense and we will miss him next week.

Yep, he broke down so much of what West Ham attempted to do. Really one of our key players.

Yaya may well prove to be the signing of the Summer.

I'd love to hear that cunt now who sits a few rows back from me. Fuckin whinging everytime Yaya gets the ball "Yaya, yer shite!!!"......fuckin prick. How anyone could think that a regular Barcelona player for several seasons would suddenly become lazy and shite must be off their fuckin heads.

Happy for the lad. Long may it continue.

He gets a lot of bad reaction near where I sit too, they fail to understand his role in the team and the fact that he oozes class, a real Rolls Royce type player.

Certainly earnt his £220k! (plus goal bonus of course!)

Whilst I don't agree with shouting out 'yer shite' at the matches, he actually has been shite for the majority of the season, looking particularly uninterested and unfit.

However, like many foreign players, perhaps he needed a bit of time to settle in and he has improved over the last few games. He is finally starting to show us why he was a Barcelona regular. He had a great game yesterday so let's hope he keeps it up!

Has to be Yaya for me. Very few midfield players can do what he did in the game; the combination of strength, pace & skill. Ironically, I expected those attributes to be used in a sort of Gareth Barry role this season but when asked to do that he surprisingly, doesn't seem to have the stamina. I knew he was capable of more than just defending as he attacked a lot before Barca but he's almost playing as a forward now.

Wonder whether Bob signed him to play exactly this way; whether it's a happy accident, or genius on Bob's part?

I love David Silva and he is - imo - even more deciding that Charlie, for the sake of City game flaw, but yesterday we saw a midfielder who scored 2 goals coming from off the box - which is actually what City is still missing to build a serious climb to the top.

So, no match for this game: must only be YAYA.
