I went for Zaba, because I couldnt separate Silkay, KDB, Dave or Sergio and I'm a sentimental old fool, I just love THE MAN.

As already said, ALL were worthy contenders but I have to be honest in that I was a little worried about the full-backs before the game. However both played great, nod goes to Zabba, looked like 'The f****n man' we all know and love

Caballero was comfortable and could do nothing about the goal. Forced a miss from André Gomes when Baca most needed to score.
Zabaleta turned back the clock, put in strong tackles and made some good clearances. Kept Neymar quiet all night with good runs forward.
Otamendi went to ground a little too often but also made some crucial interceptions, blocks and tackles. Puts his body on the line for us.
Stones made a terrible pass that almost cost us but other than that played like money well spent. Made Umtiti look like Jamal Lascelles.
Kolarov didn't put a foot wrong against the world's best player despite an undeniable pace difference. Positionally perfect.
Fernandinho was our engine as ever, made us tick and regained possession countless times. Most underrated player in the world?
De Bruyne was quiet down the left but came alive second half. Clever free kick, refused to be outstrengthed and set up Navas brilliantly.
Gundogan played like a man possessed. He earned his title of bargain of the summer and continued his surprising goalscoring form. Genius.
Silva held it all together with some brilliant pressing, good crosses and incisive vision. Needs to work on physical strength but still world class.
Sterling is officially the best English player in the world right now. Excellent pass to Gundogan, got into great positions. Still a bit wasteful.
Aguero put in the best performance I've seen from him since the 6-1 against Newcastle, even though he had no goals to show for it.
Special mentions to Fernando and Navas who are both important assets coming off the bench and proved it last night.
It's hard to pick, but for me De Bruyne misses out because of his anonymous first half.
3rd- Kolarov
2nd- Aguero
1st- Gundogan
My vote goes to a man who cost less than Paul Pogba's fat dutch agent.

Although Ilkay played well and notched a brace, Kev was good and Serge ran his taters off.
For me Silva fucking ran the show!

It's not often that everyone on the pitch pulls the same way and puts in the necessary effort for a team result, but Fernandinho ran off his Brazilian bollocks all night.

Gone for KDB - but as ever would want to mention David Silva. He has set such a high standard for himself by consistently and quietly brilliant performances over his years with us that he is often overlooked - the glue that holds the team together and the oil that makes everything flow smoothly.
The exciting thing is that we seem to have the makings of a team collective that can perform at those sorts of levels consistently and for many years. Yes there will be ups and downs along the way but how fortunate we are to have this experience.
