the back 4 played very well together i thought

First on congrats to all the boys and MH for a very solid AWAY(w00t!) win!

My impression of some of the players.
Adebayor: Excellent first goal, very hard-working.
Bellamy: Good game important link-up play. Perhaps a bit too much huffing and puffing at times.
Tevez: Very good game, incredibly hard-working. A real injection of energy when he came on.
Ireland: Solid as always, sooo cool on his goal. It was actually funny to watch.
Barry: Perhaps not his best game, in particularly the first half. Much better 2nd half.
SWP: Decent but I think we all expect a bit more.
Robinho: Not on top form, but not bad either. Had a couple of curling shots that could easily have gone in...
Richards: Seems to have put last years nightmare behind him, VERY pleasing performance! Solid.
Toure: A key component of our defence already, saved our arses more times than I care to remember.
Dunne: Good game, but not as exceptional as Toure.
Bridge: Decent game, nothing to remember.
Given: 1st half he was exceptional, clearly goalie of the year if he keeps this up. MOTM for me :)

Thought he was back to his best myself

I thought Kolo Toure's performance was quite promising. He looked very composed on the ball and his decision making and awareness was really good. I think he'll be a real asset in defence for us.

Adebayor? Great stuff. Nice premier league debut goal, great hold up play and I like the way he bought people into the game.

Bellamy chased down absolutely everything and his work-rate was immense to be honest. I was quite impressed by him.

Special mention for Bridge. I thought he had a fantastic game personally. His defensive play seemed to be a lot better this game! Lets just hope it continues...

Barry was the star of the show though. What a bargain we got @ £12,000,00 for him. Great engine, good in the tackle, plays out nice simple balls but also has a wide range of long distance passing aswell. He's the real deal and a rolls royce of a player. I'm really impressed!

Great away performance - we were patient and eventually we were rewarded. Things to improve upon but so far, so good.

I thought Toure and Dunne looked solid.

Very solid performance.

Toure MOM for me. Just edging out Bellamy.

Good to see shauny get 2 assists and look more like his old self running at players.
