[Premiership Top 3 Players of the Season]

In respect of what each of their performances (over the course of the season so far) have meant for their individual clubs, I would go for:

 

Drogba

Ronaldo

Doyle

 

If it wasn't for Doyle's early and mid season performances then Reading would probably be facing a relegation fight now.

What was the new lad like, mate?

 

I was there too mate. He was ok, very steady.

 

I kept a close eye on him throughout so can say with confidence that he seems to be a talker after he had a go at Parker (who needs to decide whether he's an attacking midfielder OR a defensive midfielder - he was fucking awful) and talked to the other defenders alot.

 

His distribution was reasonable. The one thing that I would say though is that his timing didn't look bang on in that he would commit to a tackle/header before he needed to.

 

For such a big fella he was beaten in the air more than you might think. Having said that he was up against a very good Forward in McBride.

 

Also, for what it's worth, Titus didn't have that bad of a game. Puts tin hat on.
