Man of the Match - Shakhtar (h) 07/11/2018

[manchester blue]

Oleksandr Zinchenko never lets us down and his passing is brilliant. Very underrated on here by some.

 

[Gabriel]

Another one of those occasions when there really should be a 'team' option rather than simply the individuals.

Would have to say Fernandinho. Consistently good, as always, but whenever he plays Shakhtar, his performance seems to go to an even higher level. Phenomenal performance.

 

[waspish]

Gave it Jesus because getting an hatrick in a champs league game he deserves it especially that third goal.

 

[Cityfan]

Nobody had a bad game , it's a strange situation when you can score a hat trick and not be one of the better players. I gave it to Fern.

 

[McfcJ]

Only caught the second half due to being at football training, so forgive me if it's off. But between Mahrez & Sterling, I went for Raheem. The kid keeps taking his game to another level, and it's such a pleasure to witness.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fern was immense

 

[adeinchessy]

Fernandinho was outstanding in a team of heroes last night. He didn't put a foot wrong. What a player!

 

[Chippy_boy]

One of the most difficult post match polls for me, since there were so many really excellent performances.

Zinchenko was superb, Stones and Laport awesome, Mahrez fantastic, also Sterling, and both Silvas. Fernandino could get MOM every time he plays.

In the end I went for Mahrez, but it was a difficult one to call.

 

[King KdB of Belgium]

for me it was Aymeric Laporte who was a huge man mountain at the back.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

100% pass rate, ne'er misplaced a single pass. Cannot understand how he didn't take both pens. Unbelievable concentration for 99mins, oh no we didn't play 99 last night. Not even 45 in the first half! Still, Eddie for me!

Another one where no one really stood out just a brilliant team performance - Stones and Laporte just kept closing down any attempt to break out, Fernadinho was immense as usual - Mahrez, the Silva's, Stirling kept creating danger - but I've gone for Jesus because a hatrick deserves consideration - but mostly because he kept offering himself even though his touch has been off, he snatched at a few, dallied on other occasion - but took two good penalties and was there again at the very end to finally get his hatrick.

Good to see Mahrez has a healthy score
Mahrez is getting very stubborn at getting into good defensive positions and winning the ball back,very good game

 

[Bentheblue]

Another close one with one vote splitting the top two.

 

[Robanompivenov]

Our guys either side of Jesus were superb, but Sterling nicked it over Mahrez for me.

Raz is fast becoming our most important player, delighted for him and delighted more so that he's shutting a few up at the same time!

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Gone for Dave but could have been any out of 6/7.

If Raz had done the decent thing I'd have voted for him. ;)

Fair comment.

 

[MaineRoadBlue1963]

Fernandinho

 

[CityInWashingtonState]

I went with Mahrez who was having a fantastic game but was not my MoTM until that last steal and assist to Jesus for the wonder chip.

 

[Bayblue]

Some great performances: Laporte, Fern, Jesus, Sterling.
But for me it was Mahrez.
I will be honest I worried about him in the first couple of months. He looked a bit lost and is clearly a confidence sort of player.
Yesterday he was working so hard off the ball, he created the breakthrough goal, scored a great one and set up the last. Fantastic performance.

 

[The blue phantom]

Another easy one, Sterling by a distance.
