The Everton ratings are eff disgraceful and I don't even have any.

Jags 6?! what?

Was just thinking the same myself. How on earth was Kaboul given an 8 and Baines (who scored a magnificent free-kick) a 6?

I also see that ploy of giving an MOM to an opposing player at Stamford Bridge if Chelsea don't win by a hatful is back.

Farcical.

I couldn't agree more ! These ratings are an absolute joke ! I sometimes wonder if they actually watch the matches ?

I don't know how Fabregas got an 8, he did not look sharp and he missed a penalty. Manchester City didn't play that badly considering they were down to ten men. Nasri was ok but I thought Song deserved the man of the match. For a defensive midfielder he was a real attacking force and his goal was pivotal.

Could not agree more.

Not a very good weekend for my top team, no goal scorers and hardly and clean sheets (just a typical weekend for me then). Feel Everton have been given very harsh marks, in particular, Ben Foster and Phil Neville.

Phil Neville kept Bale quiet for very long periods. MOTD did a review on his performance, highlighting key interceptions and tackles.

Ben Foster, made a number of key saves and contributions in keeping the score 2-0.

Foster played well and made some great saves, definately worthy of a 7 rating. I must say the Everton ratings are also a complete joke along with Kaboul getting SM.

The Villa ratings are a joke, i watched the whole game we absolutely pissed on Sunderland in the 2nd half - did everything but put the ball in the net

arshavin was poor gave the ball away time and time again and he got a 7 even denilson had a better game than him... nasri was deffo man of the match so i do agree on that score

Hernandez got all the praise, but Berbatov deserved more than 6 !

I agree thought Berba deserved more and Joe Cole set up Torres' goal...i sometimes wonder about the scoring in this dam game grrr

Its al about opinions. Somtimes we are biased when we think a player of ours is marked unfairly, its always gona Be like that. The one i cant understand was j hart 7 seriously! he saved a penalty yes but conceded 3 goals, Ben foster keeps a clean sheet and makes a few decent saves and they give him a six

Willo gets another 7

Baines though, 6, that did make me chuckle.
