Sergio obvs,what will we do without him

Thanks for your input, fella. Much appreciated.

There's still a MOTM even if we haven't won. So there is a point - If you don't think there should be a MOTM then don't start the MOTM thread - simples.

Sergio for his utter genius at what he does has to get it today but fairplay to Mendy he was our best attacking option for most of the 2nd half - some passes went astray, some crosses were disappointing but he had the bottle to keep making those runs into space and trying again and again.

You obviously didn't see the irony in the post. Fair enough.

What irony is this? Please explain.

Okay; who else was worthy of consideration? At a push, Mendy, maybe.
The rest of the defence? No chance.
Midfield? Ineffectual, though Kev tried.
Sterling? Give over
Mahrez wasn't really on long enough to have a meaningful contribution.
Gabby? Lovely assist for Sergio.

But for me, Sergio was head and shoulders the best player out there. And with that, I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions as I won't allow the thread to be derailed by you or me.

Astonished to see Mendy sitting 2nd in this poll. Can only assume it’s a reflection of demonstrable willingness rather than quality of product. A great cross for Kun’s goal, but by the same token in umpteen similar situations he got the ball caught under his feet and needed an extra touch again and again, or just hammered it back to Stones. He’s a camel. And in the other full back berth, well let’s just say Juventus pulled our pants down.
In the middle, John Stones is nearing the end of his time at City I fear. Having lost virtually every header against the Everton reject, did anyone think for one second he wouldn’t get rinsed by Zaha at the death?
Further upfield, we must be knocking on 3 months since Raheem Sterling came even remotely close to justifying the hype. Awful again today.
Piss poor also from Pep, not just for bringing back Sterling and leaving out the in-form Mahrez, but for not playing Walker, who owns Zaha every time we play Palace, and for again opting for two snails in the engine room, who lack the legs to press. Only two contenders for MotM. Kev and Sergio....and even they weren’t great.
And as an aside that’s 6 times (and would have been 7, but for VAR against Sheffield United) we’ve gone behind at home in the league this season, and the 4th time we’ve chucked away points in the last 10 minutes courtesy of complacent and mentally weak defending. You won’t see that at Anfield, cos they’ve acquired a ruthless professionalism this season that we are sadly lacking at the moment. Real Madrid will bugger us senseless

Anyone but Sterling!

I think you should look up the meaning of irony but as you say that's the end of it because you don't want your thread derailed.
