I was pleased with Stones on the whole, as well, but for me he definitely contributed there as the Sunderland player was already being closed down and stepping forward just gave the lane to pass in (albeit between the legs). But Kolarov did start it all, before Delph inexplicably decided to step centre circle side of the next Sunderland player allowing him to turn on goal, feeding whoever it was that put in the ball for Defoe, when Sagna was caught in two minds letting Defoe touch the ball forward nearly unhindered.Nah he did his job in closing down, Kolarov should have been ballside when the pass was played, put a centre half in there and you'll have a different result. Pleasantly surprised by Stones today.

I think we generally agree... Aside from your post about Aguero holding up the ball well, that is. ;-)
Brought energy and, didnt give the ball away and got the assist for the winning goal. That Navas ?
Can only get better. Minutes away from dropping points to a poor sunderland team . How lucky is nollito to be playing for city.? Joe should be reinstated too. A similar performance against anyone decent and we get stuffed . We carried fuck all threat throughout. Thats got to change and hopefully will, sooner rather tgan latet.
Aguero?I thought he was poor.

Yes that Navas. I feel like Navas always brings energy and rarely gives the ball over. It's just his final ball and complete lack of a goal threat brings him down. Today he gave what I would consider a normal cross to an area and it just happened to lead to a goal. I don't think he picked out his man which is a typical Navas assist
Must be on the windup because most of that makes no sense. I thought Nolito was good when he was on but was sacrificed to keep hold of midfield.Are you on the wum or just clueless ?
