John stones comfortably for me. Both centre backs were superb but Stones was the leader at the back, the vocal one and the organiser not to mention the quality of his play on the ball.
Fernandinho was worthy of the award too, a master class in his role, cobered everh single little gap that appeared all match.
David Silva deserves special mention, maybe he wasn't at his majestic best making eye catching passes but he was the difference in the midfield from last season. He was always the one to create an angle for a pass and was completely unflustered by their press. Was nearly always the one responsible for allowing us to get through their press by dropping deeper than usual as well as being the catalyst for our own high press.
