I put my vote to Aguero (he's effin' brilliant isn't he?) but I kinda did that because I've hovered around giving him the nod as motm for a couple of weeks now and I thought he deserved it now on the strength of this game and his general tendency to work his fantastic socks off for the cause. . . . But there's a but too because Nasri was similarly fantastic as was Silva and as was Fernandinho and there were impressive performances from Negredo & Yaya and Pantilimon was solid enough for me to just know that they wouldn't get a consolation goal no matter what. In fact it's congratulations to every player that played because I can't remember the last time I saw us beat anyone by 7 goals to 0 and I'd like to get used to it.
If we had De Gea and the rags had Hart, we'd be top with a 9 point lead and they'd be in 12th place - that's the difference between a 'good' keeper and a 'top class' keeper - 12 places - think about it.
