On one occasion, he took the ball deep into 'Castle territory and then, when he was no longer in possession, he sprinted back into position alongside Vinnie.
Eli seems to be settling in very nicely and he is performing on a more consistent basis than earlier in the season.
Hopefully, we will continue to see the real Mangala more and more from now on.
No, his best game by far was his debut against Chelsea when he was fucking amazing in (to be fair) a far more important game. I think MP intends to start MDM against Barcelona, but Mangala has made a good case for himself today. Good luck buddy - keep it up!
I suspect MP intends to stick with Kompany & Mangala now barring injuries, suspension or loss of form.

Thought he was excellent yesterday, making interceptions, passing range was excellent and unlucky not to score from a corner.

You see what a beard can do to a man ? Now he plays so much better.
Our best CB since early December.

This from an ITV preview of 'Pool game....................
On the other hand, £40million summer signing Mangala was supposed to be the answer to all the club’s problems – he’s quick, athletic and left-footed, but unfortunately seems to have no idea of what to do on a football pitch. His passing was nigh-on disgraceful, his positioning poor and he made stupid decisions, which cost his side goals. Pellegrini soon lost faith with him, instead preferring Demichelis, who really should have been edged out of the side by now. He has started to improve, but is still not wholeheartedly trusted by Pellegrini.
Would you say he was this bad....

Possibly our best player today; certainly our best defender.
Yes, he made mistakes, but nowhere near as many as the other three.
Eli is improving all the time and although he still has a long way to go to reach the consistently high standard we require, I can see the signs that he is getting there.

Best player? Jesus we must have been shit.
Loved his distribution, pumping it up the pitch onto Skrtels head every time it came anywhere near him.
He's wank, awful signing.

Very good today. Not helped by Kompany's poor showing.
