I got the feeling he was really happy, not just to be back playing but wearing a City shirt. Nice to see players wear it with pride, watching from the sidelines can make a player take stock in what he has at the club more. But our players are just mercenaries according to some, you know, "this means more" and all that?

The clearance before this was superb, a perfect illustration of what we have missed. Any of our other defenders in that position and quite simply, it’s a goal.
 
Just feel so much more at ease when he's playing. He isn't just a quality player individually, he raises the performance of those around him as well and that is going to be big for us as we get to the business part of the season.

Otamendi looked much more assured as a consequence.

Love his passion and his arrogance.

Somebody else mentioned it, I see a captain in him. He's a leader.
 
Return of the king, if any player could step into Vinny shoes it's this guy.
 
I think it was silly for Pep to play him for so many minutes. The lad looked good but that challenge in the first half could’ve been a disaster if he was injured again. He came through and will shore up the defense now
 
He had a nervy first few minutes and faded badly at the end through lack of fitness.

But for an hour, he was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. What an incredible player and how bloody much have we missed this lad eh?

Great to see him back.

“Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Aymeric Laporte...”
 
Within 5 mins he was telling Otamendi where to be. This guy is our leader back there. The only rival to KDB getting the armband next season. At least he should be. We’ll probably give it Fernandinho out of sentiment like we did with Silva.
 
IMO we're still going to have issues at the back given our DM issues this season, but that return and now Sane's impending one has boosted my hopes a bit for the CL and FA Cup. If we can get past RM, and both Eric and Leroy are back to full fitness, I think we can go all the way.
 
It is extraordinary how he has a calming influence. He and Garcia could be our centre back pairing for years to come. Fern likes being able to go upfield and practise the dark arts again, doesn't he? He was clearly relishing it last night.
