Sorry for the late poll. My picks: Taarabt as MoM, flop goes to Mexès.

Same. Except Zee to stay on. If he doesn't win Champions League we must fire him and appoint a new coach with exciting philosophies who can get things done. Like my milkman. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Mexes made one mistake, DS another, the first a collective effort from the entire team, I'd say Mexes had a good game apart from that one blip, he had moments where he made game saving interventions as well. I think the Essien-De Jong partnership is what really killed us, plus Urby constantly getting caught out on the left as well

He seemed shaky and insecure in most situations. But he wasn't our worst player. Balotelli and Robinho were far worse. De Sciglio was bad as well.

Yes he had a couple of moments, but I think it was an overall balanced game between some very good moments and a really bad one which cost a goal. So I'd say the scale is pretty balanced

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Feb 13 2014, 08:51 PM) I only saw the first half, I don't recall any "game changing interventions", just insecurity and bad calls. Maybe he had a better second half, even though that's when he made his biggest mistake. I remember 2 very clear instances when we had our back to the walls due to the fact that we had let them counter on us with a man advantage and Mexes made crucial tackles, one was on Higuain IIRC. Yeah, he made some silly mistakes, plus one really huge one, but I certainly think that there were others who played worse. Abate on that right wing was a nightmare - yeah, wasn't his fault but if we're going to judge based on performance then sheesh! DS was ineffectual on that right side for the entirety of the game and then made a big error on their 3rd goal Balo, as you said was completely AWOL (I do think that the fact that we could barely pass the ball further than the centre circle does give him a pretty damn great excuse though) Urby constantly got burned by Maggio and their winger (can't remember who was playing on their right side atm) De Jong and Essien were a complete nightmare combo who continuously left the CBs exposed to situations where they were outnumbered on counters It was mainly one huge mess, and based on performance I really don't think Mexes came close to being the flop
