Fernando been mint in the first half. Great start

Correct.

Any mention of Nastasic being injured or does it just look like hes being sold?

Having a quick glance at this thread and the drama queens are out in force. At least while the match is on it will give their windows a chance to dry.

Do you think that all eleven players are performing well then ?

nobody is playing badly

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Fernandinho on for Jovetic after about 60 mins I reckon. Then Yaya goes forward.

Decent half. Still very rusty but we definitely have goals in us and one more will knock the stuffing out of Newcastle.

Fernando definitely looks a much better player than Garcia without even settling in. It was scary how dependant we became on ferdanino last season we looked totally shit in midfield without him at times so to have adequate cover would be a big bonus.

24 million back for Garcia and rodwell is amazing business considering they never put in a decent performance n a city shirt really.

 

[Dax777]

Jovetic is just in the way of Silva and Kolarov. A very immature performance so far.

This is a clueless claim. On the last play, Jovetic made the right run. It just so happens we also have a very offensive left back who knows how to attack. In a normal play Kola shouldn't be that deep in the 18. Jovetic has been mint!

There's a bit of rust is all. They certainly haven't been as bad as what people are saying. Dzeko has been superb. Considering some of the lads have had virtually no pre-season, its not a bad performance by any stretch of the imagination.

Good performance so far, kompany has been immense

Sold himself badly once, when Riviere got past him on the right side. But no harm done.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Impressive. Jovetic needs to calm down and keep it simple at times. Get his head up and keep the ball moving.

This. He'd be 200% better if he tried % less. He plays like he has to score every time he has the ball. Full marks for enthusiasm, just calm down a bit.
