Jovetic, Nasri and Kolarov were class. The young players were awesome. Hiwula is really progressing well. Lopes, everyone already knows. I like Bytyqi. It was a great showing.

Lopes has got to get more game time next season. Looked classy today - fast, competitive, smart, aggressive and great with the ball at his feet :)

Send him to NYCFC or MCHC for a season or two.

Who was the young centre back we brought on near the end? The only one who looked a bit out of his depth, but can't say I saw who it was...

almost a tear in my eye seeing that micah trademark run. but it's like a one way trip. he wont run back as fast. great player for a few years until 2012. hope he'll be happy wherever he ends up.

Nah that would ruin him for sure. He needs to start making slow first team appearances off the bench in the premier league.

It would of been good to give Joleon Lescott some game time. Other than that it was a good PR exercise and I can see why Micah Richards is going, shame injuries have halted his progress.

Greg Leigh perhaps?

Nice to see some of the youngsters playing. See Huws back from Birmingham.
Hopefully Jovetic can be fit when it counts. Think he can be a big player for us.

Bytiqi never quite looks direct enough for my taste, seems a bit too indecisive. Lad needs a bit more confidence as he clearly has ability

Lopes out on loan to Leicester or Burnley for a year and watch him flourish.
