Can't believe you are questioning peoples ratings in here and have rated Ireland below Westwood. Regardless of the expectations of him or his wages he has clearly been the better of the two.

Really starting to question KEA, average at best again today and that was with a little more advanced role with Delph doing more sitting.

The lad will be lucky to be on league one show in a year or twos time. Big time charlie

ShocKed if Ireland starts and if he does it will be out wide. Mcleish doesn't rate him at all and only played him due to neccessity. He keeps possession too much, can control the ball and works hard....why should he play him

Hahaha this is a classic, fair play to the club, Instead of having fans giving out about management and chairman etc for a change, they have them giving out about themselves over "fans votes" and this award. Bigger picture??? Simple minds

Ireland shouldnt be on bench if not fit to start. Should be playing

Questioned the McTactic again? Or genuine, who knows. You are closer to the mark then you realise. More like pure speculation I would say.

He try's hard but I'd expect that off any 20 year old tryna prove themself....wish I could say it about older players but it's simply not the case once they get a big contract,effort drops, unfortunately I don't rate him, he's typical of a youth player at the mo, plenty of graft, battling and shouting but his runs are very naive, hold up play is non existent, poor first touch And finishing has left a lot to be desired....has a lot to do if he's going to be a permanent fixture next year but at the moment desperate times call for desperate measures and he's prob the best of a below average bunch

2 1 win inzogbia and weimann, ream really is that bad.... Bolton to score late consolation

Need big game from heskey tonight if starts

Expecting discontent with the midfield pairing tomorrow based on people's suggested line ups

This No Ireland

Injured or not, considerably better than all the above again yesterday ( petrov excluded), topped poll again for motm, consistent if anything.

Tried hard today but shud of done better with chances, Agreed

or 'my opinion' points if you are having to refer to a lovely curler that wasn't even that close to going in then you are proving my points for me Opinions.....right, glad I haven't wasted any of my time reading your other 3000 odd opinions. feel free to journey back and peruse them if i'll probably give the person who compares Paul Scholes to Steven Ireland a wide berth as well Stop taking things so literally mate, anyone can see the point I was making was you don't have to be able to beat a player to be a good player, if that was the case inzogbia would be world class,,, i agree you don't have to be able to beat a player to be world class.... but if you are a creative midfielder and you can't take the ball past a player often then you need other attributes to shine consistently... Scholes pings the ball 50 yards and 99% of the time hits the target... he shoots from outside the box and has scored some of the greatest goals in the premiership.... he produces pin point through balls where it is impossible for the striker to miss... he tackles back and gets stuck in.... Ireland does none of these except tracking back which is the least effective attribute to have as a AM Good footballing brain but falls short on quality... agree to disagree Will have too, because now you've just compared him to scholes properly
