Stand outs, for me:
Lee Cattermole (Sunderland). Really surprised, as watching MotD I've always hated the bloke, but he was Sunderland's best player by far.
Jon Williams (Palace), the one of the Palace youngsters who really stood out as quality. Zaha and Scannell catch the eye with the fancy shit, but neither of them contributed anything to the game, until Zaha scuffed his shot into the corner in the 75th minute. Williams on the other hand was class. Composed and careful with the ball. Gus would do a lot with him.
Dirk Kuyt and Craig Bellamy (Liverpool), speed of thought and movement, way above anyone else on the pitch.
Liam Trotter (Millwall), Gave the Albion defence a torrid time. Strong, quick and skillful. If he was consistently that good, and stayed fit, Millwall would be five places higher in the league.
Kevin Phillips (Blackpool), class is permanent.
