Mikel was pretty good; very lively/contributed to the team going forward in the first half, fairly solid in the second half. If we can only get him to do this on a regular basis. On a side note, it's good to see that the abuse he was getting didn't get him down; instead, he seems to be motivated to prove his value to the team.
Torres was invisible for a good portion of the game. Didn't seem to know what he was supposed to be doing most of the time - maybe needs clearer direction from RDM?
Hazard has been getting quieter over the last few games - the pace of the Prem finally draining him a bit?
Luiz was good going forward, but has to stop taking wild shots without any consideration to the location of the target.
Had my doubts about Moses, but he's been very good. Completely changes the team's dynamic when he comes on. His pace isn't fantastic, but gets past defenses easily with trickery and expert footwork.
Ashley Cole was at the heart of much of what we did in the first half, and scored the winning goal in the second. MOTM.
Some comments on the Stoke game

Ground out a won all that matters.
Very poor from Clattenberg though, Oscar booked for a dive yet Ivanovic got away with two and the simulation at the end without even a work.
Challenge from Luiz was very cynical too.
A few nice touches and passes in and around the box from Mata, superb for the goal.

He was insivible for all of the game.
Also how much direction does a striker need? Especially one at his age with all his experience?
Get him out of the team imo because we're basically playing 4-5-0. He doesnt trouble defence or goalie.
