EVERTON FC fans took solace in the performance of Ross Barkley in their defeat against QPR.
Our latest man of the match vote saw the teenager poll 82%, followed by Leighton Baines with 6% and Jermaine Beckford on 3%.
Peter from Ormskirk said Barkley was 'the only bright spot of a very gloomy afternoon', while John from Canada said he was a boy who took on a man's job when no-one else stepped up.'
Ian from Wirral though Sylvain Distin deserved a vote as he was 'solid, energetic and concentrated - saved us from an even bigger defeat on several occasions whilst the rest of the back four was having a collective off day'
Our next man of the match vote will be on Saturday, when Everton travel to Blackburn.
