Silva changed the game and was the best in the game, Haaland scored the goals.
Impossible to vote :)
Once again, it took a remarkable team effort to make this possible (our Erling was impressed and inspired by it, read his words). During second half City respond in an organized manner, we are focused, we are determined. And once again, Pep's intervention is the act of a genius: City seem to be playing with >11 players, literally half the team is responding to multiple roles. By definition sophisticated, nevertheless our game unfolds in the most natural manner. Viera is there merely watching, unable to react, praying to lady luck...

Under such circumstances I usually avoid this thread. Whoever gets voted deserves it, but at the same time the procedure is unfair to the rest of the boys. Literally everyone contributed tonight (and we did need everyone otherwise it would be impossible), of course it goes without saying that without Erling's clear mind and clinical finishing the magnificent performance of the team does not get rewarded...

So I get what you mean. But on this particular occasion I will make an exception -because I want to make a point (and I'm sure his teammates will agree anyway). On another day it will be (as has been) Kevin, on another Phil, on another Ilkay, and so on: That is what this team is all about. Vs Palace our comeback starts with Bernardo. Deeply moved by the sense of his responsibility in the first goal action -and he was incredible throughout the match. Bernardo is invaluable...
 
This one’s for Eccles Blue, John Boy Stones, kept us together at the back when we were struggling. Credit to Erling who I assume is no longer referred to as Alfies lad Eccles?
Thank you @BringBackSwales. I saw that John Boy had more votes even than KDB! So I knew I was ok voting for him this week. :-)

I have definitely started referring to Erling by his given name now. He’s graduated from being Alfie’s lad! Great game today.

I watched the goals on TV in Vancouver!!!! Not that I was there obviously but we were on a FT call and the highlights came on their telly so they turned the camera round so I could see them before MOTD!
Technology is wonderful. (Sometimes)
 
Thought MOTM had to go to Haaland but Silva was superb and so was Rodri barring a pass that found the opposition and caused us grief. Also thought Alvarez gave us more urgency and kept possession well.
