iamjonesyyoafc Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Kusunga was solid so for me it goes to him. Thought Wes struggled somewhat against Gerrard but ran himself into the ground as ever. Philliskirk looked to create and Petrasso looked to dazzle. Brilliant performance from all really.
Oafc1895 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Kusunga was constantly showing their player inside
jsslatic Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Eric, Grounds and Petrasso were the stand outs for me, I plumped for Grounds who was flawless but for his error in the lead up to the second goal.
GlossopLatic Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Thought Wes had a fantastic game patresso gave them a few problems and really tried to make things happen. Thought kusunga did ok but wouldn't class him as mom That for me has to be Tarkowski. He went up a level again today and I can't see how he will still be an Oldham player come 1st of Feb.
mikejh45 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Generally a very good team performance apart from Deayton. Mellor did surprisingly well at LB and was unlucky to be taken off.......got in some good tackles, muscled Sterling off the ball a few times and then we got Deayton.......how many times did he have the opportunity to put over a cross but instead chose to try to go around Kelly or Sterling but was too effing slow and then falls over in the hope of getting a free kick? I felt sorry for both JCH and Rooney......both ran themselves into the ground having to deal with the big ball up without much success against better quality defenders as the midfield and forward line was too far apart. Harkins had a good cameo......but bluddy hell, what a chunky lad!!! And the ref was unsurprisingly poor.......but that was typical Premier league performance.
Downender Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Ox for me,just because he came and caught a cross
Latics_Fanatic Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Tarkowski for me, even though he scored the OG he was unlucky! Looked class and they couldn't deal with him going forward. No-one had a particularly bad day though. Although, Rooney isn't a friggin winger!
Ackey Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 It's been said above but if James Beckenbauer Tarkowski is an Oldham player in February then we did something special. They brought on arguably the best forward in the world right now, certainly top 5, simply to contain the way he was dominanting the play. Tremendous.

Obstruction, Dayton did exactly the same to Sterling and the Premier League player won a free-kick every time.
opinions4u Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Tarky. A supreme display. Credit to the others, but Tarky's theatre has got to be the Premiership, not League One.
pukka Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Kusunga or Tarky - either or. Coin toss - Kusung (but I feel harsh on Tarky...) Edited January 6, 2014 by pukka
Hands on Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Tarky but for the fact that he could have cleared their first goal, he took his leg out of the way, and he scored an own goal, because he didn't take his leg out of the way. Let us hope this delays interest in him because we need to keep our star players. Whole team played well but I'm glad I don't sit in the Chaddy end so close to our "goalkeeper (sic)" and Dayton wasn't allowed to cross he was out muscled. I voted for Smith because he set the tone and got booked but battled on regardless - Captain Fantastic.
bigfatjoe1 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Tarky Kusunga Wes Three great performances. At the other end of the scale, Rooney was dreadful.
NewBlue Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Rooney was dreadful. That's very harsh. His tracking back is probably one reason why Kusunga is in the running for man of the match, and whilst he did nothing spectacular - nor did anyone else other than Petrasso's turn and shot - he passed it around nicely and got us a couple of corners. Our worst, most quiet performer was JCH for me, but even he wasn't 'dreadful'. It's unjust to single out Rooney but not particularly surprising with his recent disappointing league run-outs.
mikejh45 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Jonesy How many times should a player try one trick before he realises he isn't going to get a free kick.........his problem was not staying on his feet and trying to con the ref into giving him a foul. Like I said.....thick. I gave it to Smith, because of the area he covered to help his team and more pertinently.....his foul on Gerrard in the first minute to show him he won't be intimidated by the England captain. As for those Scouse gits shouting for a red, it doesn't compare to some of the studs up, body off the ground challenges Gerrard has made in the past.
Break The Silence Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Tarky for me, very assured display against top class opposition. Far too good for League One.
LaticsEddie Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Ox for me,just because he came and caught a cross TWO!!!!!!
Stevie_J Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 I thought Philliskirk worked tirelessly getting up and down the pitch, making important blocks at the back and then belting forward to try and make something happen at the other end. Same goes for Petrasso, who helpd Mellor a great deal, and he was by far the most likely player to create a goal. The way he turned Agger was brilliant. I also thought Smith and Wes were very impressive, particularly on the ball in the second half. But Tarkowski was man of the match. It was a pleasure to watch a young Oldham lad glide 60/70 yards up the pitch with the ball at Anfield.
Monty Burns Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I went for Smith because he nailed Gerrard early doors, that lad is class.
