Man of the Match That lot Carabao Cup s/f (A)

[Lavinda Past]

That's the trouble with watching highlights only, he was OK, but nowhere near his best.

Agreed. His performances can be expected be a bit 'up and down' given his age, but you can guarantee that he will always work his bollocks off for the team.

Stones and dias were solid, gundo and kev ran the midfield, ran,ryhad and phil were good, cancelo had a poor first half but alot better 2nd,zinc was solid and used the ball well, gk didn't have a lot to do, but an excellent save, I voted for ferna, he epitomises what we have become, silk and steel, he just nicked motm from dias with that great goal

I was watching Dias in the last few minutes barking out orders to teammates for a Rag corner. This guy is the total deal. He is the new Vinny and will, imo, be the next Captain . Another 10 out 10 performance.

Yeah, I noticed that too and remarked on it to Mrs Vienna.

 

[chickaroon]

Dias for me and loved the togetherness at the final whistle. Passion. Proud of every one of them.

Dias has just hit the ground running from his first match. Totally brilliant defender. He has a sixth sense about where he needs to position himself. He reminds me of Dave Watson (obviously a smaller version). We have spent years worrying about replacing Vinny. Well I think we have done it.

Dias. What a rock.

He’s not that much smaller than Big Dave. I wouldn’t like to run into him at full pelt!

Dave Watson had no pace but he was incredible at anticipating moves. Dias has pace plus awareness. I think he could be a legend for us.

Big Dave is my joint second favourite player of all time with Dennis.

Frannie is my favourite and the reason I support City.

 

[Hiley rated]

Top performances by Diaz and Stones, with a mention for Ferna, Gundo, KDB and Phil. That meant a lot tonight!

Stones, defended everything and scored a goal with his cock, legend.

I'm changing my vote based on this.

John Stones welcome back. Immense yet again. Was it Pogba who he took the ball off near the corner, came away and passed through the lines. Majestic.

 

[moggymoz]

Fernandinho absolute class

 

[samarasra]

Where’s Mojo?

Going home like Rojo.

 

[nellyonthewing]

We had 3 motm performances . Dias just nudging it from Stones who is a fraction ahead of Fern.

It was - He's transformed alongside Dias.

 

[I'm Blue]

Dias just over John and Dinho.

 

[Nelinho]

A superb team effort and whoever I pick I feel will be unfair for his teammates, I can name 7-8 candidates for different reasons. There's an argument even for the GK -and I'm not referring to his save, no. It's his incredible adaptation and composure in our build up from the back -and it's clear that everybody in the team trusts him. City have not missed Eddie in these matches, honestly I cannot express a better compliment for the guy...

Anyway, I will go with John. MOM for me before even scoring, a fantastic performance (following a series of great performances). His manager never lost faith in him (I would bet others in his position would have long time ago), hope John never forgets that. Keep it up...

 

[Bentheblue]

Diaz followed closely by the born again John.

 

[Bluemoon115]

Stones. Dias. Doesn't matter. Our centre halves are a fucking unit.

Not seen that properly for a long time.
