Tremendous win for us , even allowing for Newcastles form ..... that is never an easy place to get a result.
I thought the whole side played pretty well , although Clichy needs to concentrate a bit more ...... but Zabalata was top notch throughout , and first half so was David Silva too ...... Joe Hart also had a top game ...... Tevez and Aguero always proved a threat , and i thought the much maligned Samir Nasri also played well too , before injury got the better of him
... in fact some of our football in that first half was absolutely breathtaking.
We rarely hit the same heights in the second half , but still had our moments ... it's a mystery how we only managed to score three times in that game , because we had some golden chances , and 17 shots from the visiting side is pretty good going.
Once again poor defending allowed our opponents to hit back early second half , and for a while what followed proved to be a pretty nervy half hour for us .... but we always looked dangerous on the break , and Yaya finally wrapped the game up.
Great three points . but with the rags winning again , it HAD to be !
Ps ...... special mention for Kolo too , had a great game ..... okay our centre backs should have done better for Newcastles goal , but by and large Kolo was terrific today !
