You're saying that Milner had the best game of any yesterday, correct?
No, I'm saying Milner was poor in the first half, and had an ok second half.
DeMichelis was excellent, and would have got MOM if Yaya hadn't scored a hat trick.

Chelski and Pool will get stringer

I thought Milner was tremendous yesterday, just about always is. I do agree that Demechelis was MOTM yesterday, but inevitably Yaya's hat trick was always going to get MOTM (I also accept that Demechelis as MOTM was a minority view)

Hopefullt we will get a top class centre half in the summer or nasty will return and carry on inproving
He would be an ok 4th choice back up but thats it
blue ranger said:His performance was much improved yesterday - apart from one error in first half when he let a Fulham player virtually walk past him.
However it's important to note that Fulham played 4-6-0 with nobody up front so MDM game was definitely made much easier.

Well they say football is game about opinions, and Milner is definitely someone who splits opinion.
I understand why people like him, his old fashioned British spirit, work rate, energy, will to win, all things to be admired.
But for me his quality on the ball lets him down, and his decision making and pass selection in midfield is frustratingly poor for me. He stands out like a sore thumb compared to our other midfielders yesterday in terms of his football brain. He regularly takes too long to make a decision and then chooses the wrong one.
I think he's brilliant when he's almost got a man marking job to do, like against Alves and Evra in the past, and think he's a great squad player to have because he offers us something different. But "Just about always tremendous"? Not for me.
