Man of the Match - Dinamo Zagreb (H)

[BosnianBlue]

Rodri and Fernandinho were colossal, but I had to give it to Sterling. He changed the game.

I was going to vote for Rodri until the 66th minutes when Raheem, who totally changed the game, came on. Rodri did a great job, but Raheem's brilliant cameo was the key to win a difficult game.

Fernandinho just over Rodri. That one slip by Rodri could have been costly indeed. That said, I’m amazed he got back up after that fall.

Rodri. He and Fern were a springboard for lots of our moves.

Cancelo also impressed at times, as did Merlin for most of the game.

Effective sub appearances by Raheem and Foden.

Besides the double tackle
He was everywhere

Fernandinho just edges it over Rodri for me. Close call though.

I went for Dave. I'm surprised he isn't getting mentioned. Had a great game, some of his runs and passing in and around the box were as good as it gets. The fact they didn't end in goals doesn't diminish his contribution.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I would have voted for Eddie but the ultra defensive, two-lines of five Zagreb had little to offer Eddie so that he could practice left-handed catches à la mode Trautmann, so I've gone for Spanish Rodders. Very understated player but, just like GazBaz and Nige, take him out of the team and there's a fuckin' big landfill hole that needs covering. Great pass to Mahrez to Sterling for the first goal!

Sterling changed the game. Credit where credit is due.

Otamendi, won everything in the air and didn't give there forwards a sniff on their rare attacks. A good performance.
