TW Player of the Month: Marouane Fellaini

Lyndon Lloyd , 10 October, 11comments | Jump to most recent

ToffeeWeb readers have voted Marouane Fellaini as Everton player of the month for September, the second month in a row that the Belgian has won our monthly poll.

Fellaini swept the August 2012 poll with 77% of the votes but with 27% this time around he was run close for September by Leighton Baines (24%) and Kevin Mirallas (26%), the latter enjoying an impressive first full month with the Blues.

Are we allowed to ask who we all voted for individually? I voted Mirallas.... one percent, so close as well!!

I voted Mirallas as well. Fellaini has been immense but I didn't think he should have had it 2 months in a row.

Quite clearly Bains was the man.

I voted for Baines. I think Baines is a victim of his own success, we're so used to him being consistantly brilliant that I think he gets over looked in these polls.

If Baines played like Hibbert for a month, he'd be terrible. If Hibbert played like Baines for a month he'd be a shocking revelation and get voted player of the month. So the question isn't really, who was our best player this month? It's more like, who exceeded expectations by the largest margin? Same with player ratings. If a guy gets a 6 or 7 (depends who is rating) they did as expected. Higher rating and they did better than expected. You get the picture. If Hibbert's overall influence on a match equals that of Baines they'll never get the same rating because more is expected of one than the other.

Surely the expectations of Fellaini were pretty high also?

Baines was brilliant even by his own standards. I'd watch his games if he played for almost anyone else.

Shame he's out of the running for an October three-peat already....

Fellaini has been playing better than expected this season. Eventually, we'll get used to it and expect this level of performance out of him. Baines played better than normal which is why we're talking about him as player of the month. But what about, say, Pienaar. I think that if Magaye Gueye came on and played as well as Pienaar did in the last month, we'd be talking about the secret weapon for player of the month. Just my theory.

Voted Baines, he was superhuman in september. Fellaini a close second for me, so no grief.

Mirallas looks good, but our best player in september? Don`t think so.

Honorable mentions for Pienaar, Anichebe and Osman

Baines has been consistently good in every game, and is the league's most creative player, according to the stats...

Not sure about this one at all.
