Spearing
Agger
Carroll
I thought Bellamy was probably the best player in red but Carroll had more impact and I was happy for the big guy to score.

You lost me on this one old chum. If you thought Bellamy was the best player in red but gave it to Carroll for good reason , shouldn't it be
Carroll
Bellamy
AN Other
As with this logic your best player in red is not in the top three, not questioning it's your choice , just curious

I didn't really take enough time to explain that Vlad - thanks for noticing 😉
I thought Spearing got it right with his tackling and clean up; he made them look impotent going forward while Agger had one of the best games I've seen him play for us in terms of total concentration and doing everything well. For me these two were the key because it gave a confidence to everyone else going forward. Bellamy always looked dangerous but Carroll just dominated everything up front and scored the crucial first goal. Bellers showed much greater skill, touch and movement but the most important aspect was the pure strength and size Carroll provided.
I almost talked myself out of it Vlad - don't do that to me again. :-\
