Really? I think he was brilliant and with Silva our MOTM. He do often only get credit for his movement and dribbling but today the rest of his game was on point apart from the finishing. He linked up very well with the team and got a lucky assist and should have had an assist for his brilliant cross to Aguero. He also had one more pass behind their defence to set Aguero up for a 1v1 if he had fancied it. Statistically he created 5 chances (Silva and Sane second with 3 CC). He also scored a goal that was wrongly(?) disallowed for offside.

If that's him having a mare, I wonder what you consider of him being good. Outside of setting chances up for sane, aguero and silva, he also linked up with silva on a couple of occasions to create openings. You could argue he was wasteful in his finishing but so were sane and silva
 
He was brilliant. Lost count of the number of times I don't think he'll get to a ball before an opposition player and then he just turns on the after burners and nicks in to steal it.
 
What a difference a year makes. Raheem has been outstanding all season, beginning with that explosive start, which saw him win PotM in August.

He has continued to improve as the season has gone along and at only 22, he has years of improvement left in him.

That phone call from Pep in the summer must have made such an impression on the lad.
 
He's been fantastic this season, if still a bit frustrating at times.

I like that now even when he does have an occasional poor game, he's still involved and will often pop up with a goal or assist whilst not at his best.
 
I thought he was poor vs Sunderland but was much better against Boro although not great. I only see him improving under Pep.
He hits the ground too often, not sure if it's lack of strength or balance.

Neither. He's goes to ground purposefully to buy easy free kicks.

I thought he was pretty decent against Sunderland and Boro, completely invisible against Stoke though I would agree did nothing.
