2 big positives for me yesterday, firstly we won a game we'd gone behind in, and secondly we didn't need Aguero's goals to win.
We were still well short of our best, but there were some good signs all round, after a piss poor start, our passing notably improved, we weren't dominated in midfield as we have been recently either.
However, we were still too slow in build up play, too often going backwards when a forward pass was on, and defensively we still look poor at times, their goals was a joke, in how simply they avoided our defenders.
I liked how our forward players rotated in in out of position, such as Sergio coming out wide left, and Nasri going into the centre, this fluidity is something we've been missing, and it helped us not miss David Silva for once.
Still a lot of work required, for instance on corners, where we were woeful again, and crossing in general was poor, apart from Navas pass for Jovetic's goal, why he can do that now and again, and yet put in so many other poor crosses I don't understand.
All in all, better, but room for improvement, and we really have to start putting more of our chances away, though their keeper had a good game, we're still not hitting the target enough, or when we do, we're hitting the middle of the goal.
Hart 6 - didn't have a lot to do
Zab 7 - looked better, and got forward well
Kompany 6 - needs to stop jumping in from behind
Demichelis 8 - very good game
Clichy 7 - one of his best games in a while (though he was good in the derby)
Navas 5 - great pass for the goal, but otherwise pretty poor
Fernandhino 7 - far better than he's been
Yaya 7 - played well
Nasri 8 - best game for us in ages
Aguero 6 - not at his best, trying too hard at times, at least he didn't need to carry us for once
Jovetic 7 - worked tirelessly, good finish, a few too many flicks for me though
