Funnily enough I thought he was fairly gash tonight. Tried hard but gave it away almost every time, hardly anything came off. Compare and contrast with games earlier in the season when he'd put less effort in (and get slagged to f*** for it) but have many more meaningful contributions to our play.

 

Weird.

 

I thought the same.

Usually when he's on a burst 1 on 1 with a defender he rinses them, few times he picked the wrong option or did a silly turn or touch which either lost posession or slowed the attack down. Overall though he did well, nice to see him getting back late in the game to stop De Bruyne when he was tiring and the latter had gone past Tiote on the wing.

It depends on what you expect. In terms of final outcome he was shit tonight.  But he covered the whole pitch and together with Tiote we didn't lose control of the midfield against man city which is simply magnificent.

agree. The desire was there...but hardly anything worked out for him/us.

Thought his work rate was immense.

 

Chased down every ball, refused to give up on lost causes, looked every bit a real captain tonight (more so than Shelvey ever has). Long may it continue.

I'd agree with that.  I think at the minute, we need performances like last night, over the ones from earlier in the season.  If all of our players work as hard as that, then I think we'll grind out some results.  He's been a passenger for so long, that it's nice to see the change in him. 

 

In fairness to him, since Rafa has been here.  I think there has been a noticeable shift in the effort he puts in.  He had just been stuck out on the left, where he looks terrible.

Can't believe he missed that 1 on 1. Had done so well to get in that position

 

He made his mind up to shoot too early, could have got further forward before shooting or even tried to take it past Hart.

Take an extra touch, draw the foul from Mangala (IIRC).

Can't remember the chance that well but how much cover was there after Kompany? If he went down could it have been a red?

 

It'd never have been given but Mangala was on the left hand side of Kompany as he broke, about 10 yards away.

Rather he have a pop and not get tackled by Mangala too. He rushed his shot when he decided to take it as Mangala was about to get a foot in.

 

He was awesome last night, love this version of Moussa
