Sunderland v City post match

[BlueS]

Speaks better English than Rooney...... Normally does his talking on the pitch. Great to see him do an interview. Best player in the Prem. Absolutely love the way he does that 360 degree manoeuvre thing when up against a wall of opposing players. When he completes the circle he inevitably has disrupted the defence and plays someone in.

i'm starting to think not speaking english is a tactical move to swerve the press.

love Dave

Redknapp is a complete bellend.

Stones and Kolarov absolutely rock solid today. Kolarov particularly has been immense at CB this season.



It was.

I must admit, not many thought Kolarov had the capacity to play CB. Pep has worked some magic on him.

I said the same on Wednesday about him. He's been reborn this season but for the last couple of games seems to have lost some confidence. Compare and contrast him to Sane,who is bursting with belief and running defenders ragged. Sterling suddenly seems to be very hesitant when he has the ball in a similar position. I'm not too worried about him, as I'm not too worried about KDB (who looked so much better today). Perhaps he just needs a bit of a break.

It could just be instructions from Pep. A few times today he hesitated and passed back when he could have beat his man. At the time I was shouting at the telly, but when I watched it back it was because he had little support at the time so he waited until he did. By that time the moment had passed and he passed back. It was the amount of time he lost control or made a poor pass or a silly flick that made me think he was below par.
In the first half, Sane seemed reluctant to take on his man too. They seemed like they wanted to keep possession rather than gamble on losing the ball.

It just wasn't fair was it ?
Watching David Silva is like watching Caravaggio paint or Frank Sinatra sing, the guys the Loenardo Di Vinci of football

Ozil - did nothing for his first year and fading again. Hazard - missing all of last season. Silva - perfection for nearly 7 years - head and shoulders the best player in the Prem.

With better quality defenders next season (he says with baited breath) it`ll be much easier playing the ball out of defence.In that second half it seemed more like a training session than a PL game such was our dominance and we could have helped ourselves to a couple more goals.

Great win today
Clean sheet with excellent away support
Spanish Dave is absolutely superb
Sane is so talented it's going to be a pleasure to watch him grow
Sterling didn't have the day he wanted but kept at it
Pep...... loved the talk and hug with Dave
Post match
Great days to be a blue

Before the game i predicted we would concede , how wrong was i , thought the defence and yaya / dinho were very good today , dare i say Kolarov is probably the best centre half at the club , if i had said that pre-season the men in white coats would have been coming for me.
Sane has got to be the most excitng prospect in the premier league (only because jesus is injured) and Merlin ? words can't describe him , always loved colin the king ,Bernarbia , Kinkladze , but Merlin is the best player ever to pull on a blue shirt , could'nt pay him a bigger compliment

Colin was so far ahead of his time that he could play in this current City team and be equally dominant - skill, ultra pace, vicious accurate shot, stamina and a Yaya surge. Lets just say Colin and David are the two greatest City players who ever lived.

Funny how people watch the same thing through different eyes. I thought Sterling was as good as Sane today, just that Oviedo is obviously a better full back than the lad on the other side, so Leroy seemed to have more joy. That being said, another assist to his name, keep em coming lad.

Now was that Fall Down Franny Lee? Sorry, just going by the old clips.

Franny was genuine world class - winger turned striker. Foul him in the box and he went down, but no diver.

Wyn Davies probably got more penalties given to him than Franny.
