Hart - Amazingly didn't have an awful lot to do, bearing in mind we were up against a side averaging 4 goals a game. but commanded his area, and his distribution was class. 8
Zabaleta - Had a great game, never gave up & ran himself into the ground. 8
Kolo - I must admit during pre-season i was hoping we wud maybe bring in another centre back, as toure looked past it at times last season. Glad he's making me eat my words. Was Outstanding. strong, quick and positionally spot on. couple of super last ditch tackles too throughout game. 9
Kompany - MOM. An Absolute monster!! You won't see any centre back keep drogba that quiet all season, thats a fact. I live in New Zealand and my m8's here, who don't quite follow football, just couldn't understand why I chose to have Kompany on back of my home shirt this season, espeically with all the big signings we made... Milner, Balo, Silva, Yaya, etc..... They understand Now. wudn't swap him for any centre in Prem. True Leader 10
Boyata - Had a blinder! won numerous tackles, looked good with the ball, and isn't afraid to get stuck in. Alryt he may have been a tad lucky with collisions with drogba off the ball, but to me that was a sign of maturity... reads the game so well for someone of his age. 9
De Jong - Is Kompany's A Monster, fuck knows what De Jong Is. plays withhis heart on his sleeve, and gave 110%. was outstanding, winning the ball all over the field and played a massive part in helping us keep there midfield quiet. 9
Barry - Last season looked slow and low on confidence. This season we are starting to see why he's one of first names of team sheet for both capello and mancini. His distribution is at time effortless and passing is so slick. Got stuck in too. class game. 8
Yaya - had a good game, like De Jong and barry, played a massive part in keeping midfield tight and compact, starting to look like a terrific signing. Great run in 2nd half. 8
Milner - Workhorse. not always went his way, but effort was faultless and is always going to a problem for opposition defenders. great signing, who Im's sure mancini will use a lot of in big games, which will be tight like yesterdays 7
Silva - Ooozes Class. so comfortable on the ball is frightening. was terrific not just helpingus retain possesion but always winning the ball back which was a pleasant surprise. somethings tells me, he will play a major role in defining are season 8
Tevez - Dont even need to explain his rating. Tevez is god. 9
