Just saw Milner's chance again. Looks harder to miss than score.

Another dominant first half. I have always said that this particular team works best when the midfield is concentrated i.e play as many midfield players as possible and the injury problems have allowed that idea to be validated. They can all score goals and can move as a unit offensively in terms of coordination and link up play as well as defensively.

Interesting to see how Pellegini deals with this new reality going forward. Obviously Aguero will have to play when he is fit but at least he now knows that the team has an extra dimension about it.

More of the same in the second half and will like to see Jovetic get some minutes as well.

It does give some ammo to the "5 midfielders" argument.

Yep, And it does not necessarily have to be a 433/451 or 4231. It could be a tight diamond with overlapping fullbacks with Silva/ Nasri behind Aguero.

Just get them all out there, lol....it works.
