Silva was great. Definitely man of the match. And as we suspected heir apparent to David Silva. What on earth did city see in jorghinio that gundogan can't provide? It's the only thing that concerns me about City. Sanchez, Fred and now Jorghinio. Chasing players that don't seem to have been a good fit for the team or better than what we currently have. Really happy with how we look but I just hope there are no more pursuits of players who may look good in are team, but in reality wouldnt improve it anymore than it currently is.

I wanted Jorginho but had one concern that he might not be able to play that role. I said many times that this bollocks about him being 'press resistant' is utter shite & he will get mugged.

But I thought he could play another position anyhow as he's an excellent footballer.

Now, I'm fucking delighted we didn't sign him, as he moves like a turd in long grass.

This is going to be the year of Bernardo Silva.

thought he was absolutely a class above anyone else on the pitch

In San Sebastian on holiday not seen the game, sounds like we played well. Who was our best player appreciate the comments

Bernardo was outstanding. Stones was great too.

 

[bluealf]

He's a very good player.

Today will have been a wake up call.Hopefully he is regretting his decision to chase the coin.

And the bright lights of London, the only City to be seen and live in obviously.

Sterling was wank

Foden and Bernardo were the standout players for me.

Aguero, Dinho, Stones, Laporte, Mendy all very good, as well.

Sane didn’t look quite up to it but he has a tendency of looking that way early on before becoming one of our most influential players.

Mahrez looked as if he was trying a tad too hard but there were enough flashes of what he can bring to take plenty of encouragement from today’s showing.

Gomes was masterful in his midfield role—he didn’t even need to touch the ball to ensure we got our first bit of silverware of the season.

Just class.

Bernardo was superb, Aguero looks miles better since the operation, he was superb and Foden was very good.

Just before Stones moved into midfield I was speculating that he could do a job in midfield covering for Fernandinho and then Pep did just that, interested to see where that one goes.
