He won’t be getting a run in the team again so you’re best remembering him for what he’s done in the past.
Wouldn't be surprised to see him off in January, badly need a holding mid, a left back and another winger and squad places are precious.
 
A man that size was never going to keep those high level performances going until his mid thirties. He smashed through a lot of defences in big games for us and was that "big game" player we needed and the difference between victory and defeat so many times. End of the season we can wave goodbye to another city legend.
 
Unfortunately we'll have too few games that easy to justify his place.

Course we do - if he comes in and does twenty minutes like that 10 more times this season he will have played his part. Legend and an incredible footballer.
 
The only thing he did of use tonight was give Fernandinho a rest. He looked awful bar his usual short passing.

Well I completely disagree. He kept the ball and was quality. He can’t do what he used to do but he helps keep the ball.

Great, so he's only useful when we're 3 goals ahead against a poor side? He stole a bench spot from Foden and Diaz tonight, either of whom could have used the game time and would have been better options if we'd needed someone to come on who could have made a difference.

Agree completely. Can still play a part as a squad player too many writing him off too soon.

Except when he gave it away. He was sluggish and caught behind play a couple of times. Thankfully Swansea were gash. Quality he was not. He wasn’t completely awful but I doubt Pep will be rushing to put him anywhere near the team against Spurs.
 
Can't bare seeing him like this. Its clouding my memories of 2010-2014, I really hope he can go to NYCFC in Jan.

I trust our manager - he seems to be doing an ok job.
