Man of the Match - Sunderland (h)

[Ric]

All in here please.

 

[mosssideblue]

Gave it to Alex mainly due to:

a) having a great game yesterday
b) playing in an unfamiliar role
c) attitude, hunger and commitment to playing Pep's way

Raheem also played very well as did John Stones

 

[DruntBlunt]

Happy for Raheem. Will thrive under Pep.

 

[MarsLlama]

I voted Sterling, with Kolarov a close second and Stones looking good too.

The City matchday app made me laugh. Astonishing how many people voted for Aguero. Can only assume most of them don't watch the game nd just chose him because they heard he scored.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Sterling for me. I've always said he'll flourish under Pep. Very happy with his contribution yesterday.

 

[stonerblue]

Stones. Outstanding debut.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Bacardi sagna showed great spirit...

Willy was good
Clichy was absolutely everywhere
Stones was great
Kolarov was absolutely brilliant
Fernandinho was great
Sterling was great
Silva was very good but looked unfit and started flagging.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Fernandinho,he was everywhere,again.

 

[Phil1]

Sterling, Kolarov, Stones and Fernandinho were the standouts I thought. Silva was very good until as has been rightly pointed out he got tired and an honourable mention to Clichy for his energy.
Went for Raheem because I was buzzing for him.

 

[dadnlad]

wheres Paddy McNair

 

[leighton]

Sterling looked dangerous yesterday from both flanks. He has taken his chance so far. To impress early will give him confidence going through the season.

Yes absolutely agree

[Matt the Giant]

Lots of really good performances, all over the pitch. But I give it to Fernadinho, who was the hub of so much of our game plan. And that header leading up to the first goal was just brilliant.

I admit i'd had a few, was on ground level and behind the goal but fuck me, even i could see he played well.

 

[Erling Haaland's Eyebrows]

Bacardi sagna showed great spirit...

Thought Les had a good game

 

[onceabluealways]

Sterling for me, was a threat from both sides.
