Oh god, are we beginning to be a massive top class squad at least? I love so much Silva, Dzeko, Carlos and Balotelli playing great football all together, forza magico City!!!

[Arjan Van Schotte]

Gareth Barry is having a belter in the middle of the park.

He's been brilliant so far. Probably our best player so far IMO.

Hes one of my fave players for some reason, very underrated, if only he had a bit of pace he would of been top class! I think as he gets on he will make a solid left back(or back up lb)!

IIRC that's where he started off? i really like baz - my only concern with him is that when he has a bad game, he has a really bad game.

[Arjan Van Schotte]

alright, i must be gettin old - but them aris fans are just like my kids. initially impressive, beautiful and loud. and then REALLY fuckin annoying. grow up.

From ESPN -
Update on Kompany's injury: it was an impact blow to his hip and therefore he should make a quick recovery

[Moonchesteri]

Commentator just said what they had heard from City medical staff and that was that Vinnie got a hit from an elbow to his hip and shouldn't be anything bad.
Great news that. I was frightened as I first thought he hurt his hamstring or something

Silva is unreal

[Moonchesteri]

I want a few more goals from City!
Maybe one for Balo, one for Carlos and one for Shauny or JO!

[Moonchesteri]

I like Boateng's composure on the ball at CB.

[mr_nool]

Game over. YAYAYAYAYYA!

[mr_nool]

I like Boateng's composure on the ball at CB.

Agreed. Dzeko's first touch has also been a lot better than normally. I hope he's finding his feet and that it's not just down to him getting more time on the ball than in the PM.

Good lad Yaya!!

Tevez to come off by the sounds of it. Good call, protect him now.
