And my point was it does not matter whether I was at the game or watched it on TV as that will indicate that everyone that watched it from the stadium will have only one opinion about his performance and everyone that watched it on TV will have an entirely different opinion. Whether you watched...

Did not see most of the first half but in the second half, the introduction of Sane and Sterling changed the game and Sane in particular played with energy and directness and was a constant threat throughout the second half.

We have to use the 4141/433 formation and fit the best available players in that system for the remaining matches. Rotation of players should be minimal from now on.

He showed a lot of energy when he came on in the second half. Much better performance today.

Disappointing result. Missed most of the first half and my stream was a few minutes behind in the second half but I can still say that the first half was poor and disjointed, perhaps the changes were too much and Middlesbrorough's approach somewhat unsettled the team. The second half got much...

The goal for the rest of the season is very clear - win all the games and we are more than capable of achieving that now that Kompany has settled in the team and Gabriel is back in the line up. A surprising but then again not so surprising team when it comes to Guardiola. The team makes sense...

If you thought he was awful then that is your opinion but I disagree. As I have said, this was one of his better performances of late and I thought he stepped up, his attitude was better and he created most of the chances we had.

He does have good coordination and rapport with Silva. He is perhaps exhausted at the moment and needs to sit out a game.

Some good performances yesterday. Kompany was imperious as usual and seems to inspire the players around him to play well, and Otamendi is looking more comfortable and less impulsive with Kompany at his side. However I went for De Bruyne as he showed a noticeable change in attitude, really...

Asserted himself in the match and one of his better performances today.

Had that early chance in the match, which he should have scored but he worked hard throughout the match.

Good to see him back. He will be the spark the team needs for the rest of the season.

He let the game flow today. Refreshing to see

That Gabriel's moment, I thought it was the breakthrough goal there but it was not to be. Another frustrating result after dominating the game with good energy and pressing but could not create enough openings. We did create some chances but could not take them. Similar theme, similar story all...

Kompany's goal in 2012 in the 1-0 win. Epic moment.
