Brentford PL (H) | Man of the Match

[MellowJoe]

Have to give it Silva for thar freekick

 

[RayCTID]

I went for the match winner. Should have had an opportunity to score from the spot.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Akanji didn’t put a foot wrong.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Nobody 'did the business' tonight. It was bobbins from start to finish.

 

[eversince 76]

Akanji.
Stones.
Anyone else.

Hard to shine in a game like this with Brentford out with a double decker tactic to just frustrate. A tactic that is used by more and more teams that visit the Etihad. Awful to watch.

 

[PragueBlue]

Foden followed by Rodri for me.

More of a grinding team performance than scintilating. As the old saying goes it should have been more than the 1.

 

[city warrior]

Akanji and Rodri for the entire match. Foden for the 2H. Solid overall.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Akanji. His best game for a good while. Rodders and Foden also good.
On the other side of the coin, Alvarez totally ineffective in midfield (again) and Walker’s penchant for delaying his crosses by just enough to ensure they all get blocked at source, was fucking mind rotting.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Akanji.

That role is not his game at all but he made a fucking good job of it.

Ultra professional and superbly reliable.
