Did he set Yaya up? I'm pretty sure he didn't.

That was one of the best saves ever by Hart.

Totally dominated that game & struggled like fuck to win it. That's the story of our season. Silva was fantastic apart from a total aversion to just putting the ball in the net or pasing it simply to someone else in the centre for them to do it. As soon as he does, we score.

Bony looks like he could get 40 goals in this team to me. That finish was world class.

That team has no chance of winning the title. But a few players in and then it's game on.

Vince looked dreadful when he came on.

Out of the last 5 games, only the QPR game can we say we were all over them. Each of the other games we have not been at our top, but showed patches of brilliance and somehow we have found a way to win.
We all know that a lot of our players have not been at their best this season but I'm encouraged by what I've watched over these 5 games. They are digging in when things go wrong, which is something that wasn't there from Christmas on.
I'm starting to like the look of Bony. Yaya will take some replacing though. Aguero and Silva were not their sharpest today but they are both really working hard even when a bit off.
Finish with a win against Southampton and get started on the summer rebuild of the squad.
Oh and a special mention for the much maligned Hart. Absolute world class saves.

Pretty much did what we've been doing a lot of this season - played well for long spells but almost let them back into it - just like against Villa we let a two goal lead slip but fought back to take all the points.

Just seen Hart's save - breathtaking.

I'm struggling to think of a better save, City bias or not. Easily City's best save of the season, very probably the best Prem save of the season, and at the very least it's one of the greatest saves I've ever seen.

I think DJ vs Lampard was better, also Joe's own save against Liverpool was probably his best, maybe after today his second best.

Schmeichel against Liverpool. Double save. Was Jim Montgomeryesque.

Surely that has to be senior, junior would have been flopping about on the ground and in no position to make a second save unless they kicked it at his prone body.

Bony looks sharper than Dzeko in all areas.
Great first touch.
Hold up play.
Awareness of team mates running into space.
Strength.
And he can score.
I think Dzeko has played his last game for us. If he has, then thank you and good luck
