What a great start to the season. It seems the new system we're playing in still has the attacking qualities from the previous seasons but also gives us extra protection for the back 4. Everyone seemed to put in a solid 8/10 performance, Hart even if he didn't have much to do was very impressive with his collecting and punching of crosses, Mangala and Kompany finally found a way of working together and it's very effective, Kolarov and Sagna especially did very well and Sagna was more effective offensively today. Yaya was incredible today, seemed to have found his hunger again and that showed, brilliant goal but that's what you expect from a hungry Yaya, Fernandinho was solid and his positional play was good but he needs to cut out the silly free kicks, he does it too much and sometime it's going to cost us. David Silva, there are no words, just wish people would stop kicking him all the time! Sterling for me was nervous but he still put in a good performance, showed moments of what's to come with his quick acceleration, the finishing will come with age, Navas as well was effective especially in defence. Bony for me still doesn't look 100% but it will come as he gets his fitness up, gives us an option for kicking it long and worked well with Silva by chesting it down.
All in all a very good performance, fans were excellent as well so special mention to them. Oh and one more thing.... We scored from a corner!!!
