Man of the Match - Watford (h)

[Jack74]

Fernandinho what a player , Ginger Kev will take over YaYa as the best player I have seen where a sky blue shirt

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

He got a hat-rick,fair play and it's almost an unwritten rule that hat-rick means you get motm. However nobody who watched that match could genuinely think Bernie was the best player on the pitch yesterday. Silva and KDB were levels above performance wise.-

i'm a romantic, what can i say

 

[Tricky_Trev]

good as he was, KDB, not man MOM. You dont score a hatrick , first ever, and not get it. Bernado for me

That’s from the Garth Crooks school of player rating. I don’t personally believe that whoever scores the most is automatically the best. Bernardo was great, but I liked the performances of Rodri, KDB, Fernandinho and Silva even more.

 

[Carver]

There were 14 men of the match today but giving it to Bernardo for the hat-trick

I just love having Fern back in the team.
The guy is such a calming influence.

Numerous players could have got it, depending on what you like seeing in a player and whether he came up to expectation or exceeded it. I have no problem with KDB getting it or Ferdi, ( he strolled thru the match covering at CB - personally he should play here more often) Anyway i went for Bernado because you could see how much it meant to him and he played well. I do take great exception to my opinion being likened to Garth Crooks thinking. In 60 years i have never been as badly insulted. Ruined my weekend

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

The Silvas both for me but I needed two votes

Rodri

I’m fortunate enough to sit at the front of cbl3 half way line, my view is amazing and for me the best seat in the ground, I see things some don’t see! Yesterday I witnessed a performance of power, vision, guile, skill and leadership... Rodders my man you are without doubt the bargain of the season.

 

[Vienna_70]

Spot on but hardly shown any of his play on MOTD, he’s tremendous.

Just like we hardly ever saw any of the work Gareth Barry did on MotD.

Agreed.

I actually thought Bernardo was rather anonymous for large parts of the first half.

Great credit to him for scoring his hat-trick, but he was by no means our best player yesterday.
