I got chills when the camera cut to Otamendi getting the bandage wrapped around his head, reminded me of Zabaleta, and that refusal to let anything get in the way of helping the team win. The passion from all of them, especially Kolarov, at the final whistle was immense. I'd like to mention that we looked like conceding for five minutes in the second half and Fernando coming on made a huge difference, clearing two unmissable United chances and giving us composure- I think that'l be his role in the team this year. The way all of our defenders and the two Ferna's went through the wars in the last ten minutes made me love them all even more. This is proper City.
The ONLY two things we need to improve are turning the possession into the goals we deserved (which will come as players get used to playing Guardiola's style in the final third and of course Aguero was out), and the fact that we seem to go to shit for the first part of the second half. It was only brief today (cheers Fernando) but could've bitten us in the arse. Once that's sorted out though, and it won't take long, we'll be unstoppable. Eddie Howe better have a plan for next weekend, and it better be a very good one, or they'll be thrashed. Already we're the closest thing the PL has ever seen to Barcelona.
And provided Chelsea don't thrash Swansea in Wales later, we're still top of the league.
