Man of the Match - West Ham (h)

[City_Sean]

Went for Sterling purely because of the two goals, but Silva was mesmeric at times.

 

[Machiavelli]

Booooo, you know who.

 

[kaz7]

Little dave,back to his best

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

El Mago of course just pipping RS.
RS scored 2 but both put on a plate due to Silvas work. 1st via Nolito 2nd via Samir.

 

[Clercqs]

I went with Silva. Sterling as a close runner-up.

 

[Silva_Spell]

1. Silva - worked hard, knitted the play together and providing killer balls. MOTM
2. Sterling - movement, workrate and finishing was there. Could have taken on his fullback more.
3. Nolito - Always dangerous. Lovely pullback for the first goal.
4. Otamendi - Another solid game.
5. Fernandinho - Does he ever play badly?

 

[Blue Smarties]

El Mago of course just pipping RS.
RS scored 2 but both put on a plate due to Silvas work. 1st via Nolito 2nd via Samir.

Both on a plate? That last finish was anything but on a plate.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Amazing how we finished with Pellegrini's team, but Guardiola's intensity. I'd give it to Sterling, but wouldn't argue with Silva, Nolito, or Stones.

 

[Harvster]

Both on a plate? That last finish was anything but on a plate.

Whilst the first was very missable and an excellent finish

 

[super_city_si]

Silva for me. Ran the show.

 

[citytill1die84]

Sterling.

The Sun has given man of match to West Ham player Manukau who got an 8
Silver got a six and top City mark was 7
I've been watching City since 1957 and the the first half was the best football I have seen from a City team

They are the sun ratings mate.

 

[rnblade]

Silva gets my vote. He was ace.

 

[Cityfan]

First match this season I've been able to attend. I voted for Fernandinho as he go through so much work. Could have been several others though.

 

[Calvados]

Silva was absolutely magnificent in that midfield.
However, Raheem will get my vote for than crazy angle goal.

 

[The Silver Surfer]

Silva.
Gone from Wizard to genius (his slump period) to god like being.

Just incredible.

 

[newposter]

I voted Silva but I'd say Sterling equals him for the two goals

 

[mosssideblue]

I would have given it to the team for that first 45 mins. It was just WOW!

I have gone for our new boy Nolito. Like a little worker bee and developing something special with Merlin

 

[NorCalBlue]

I thought MOM was Silva at the time they gave it to Sterling at the ground, but Sterling's subsequent second goal put him over the top for me. So I voted for Sterling.

 

[Terra Passenger]

Was going to vote Silva. Absolutely ran the show. And then Sterling rounded the keeper and neatly tucked it in on a very tight angle to complete his brace - so went with Sterling instead.
