After 48 hours of frantic voting that has made last week Scottish referendum look like the AGM of the Womens institute, the people have spoken on their man of the match at Swansea City
The Ugly Inside player ratings are obviously a democratic process that cannot be swayed by the gift of a £16,000 watch to the editor of this site (well actually if you do feel the urge to do this feel free to get in touch). However it always surprises me the diversity of the vote
Man of the match is not surprisingly Wanyama and I dont disagree with that, however i feel a few players have been unfaily treated with relatively low votes, Fraser Forster for instance polle an average of 7, on the face of it fair in that he kept a clean sheet, however he had little to save due to his defence, yet not one of the five who played in it got over 7 apart from Nathaniel Clyne with a 7.1.
Up front Pelle only got 6.5 for a battling performance that saw him set up the winner and Shane Long seems to get under 6 whatever he does.
There must have been a few Swansea fans on here as well given that the referee was awarded a paltry 4.3, Swans fan might be a little aggrieved in that they felt the sending off of Bony was harsh and that Fonte should have joined him but the truth is that TV replays showed that the ref was spot on with most of his decisions.
