Zabba 5 - thought he had a really poor first half. Caught in possession, bad passing, just an off day. Slightly better in the second, setting Tevez up for what should've been another goal.
Kompany 6 - Was playing really well together with Micah, but the misstake for the goals brings the score down a point.
Micah 9 - Very good allthough the game. Of course bonus points for that fantastic goal.
Garrido 7 - Stabil performance from the Spaniard.
Barry 7 - Good defensively, but worse when it comes to distribution. Most of the passes go sideways or backwards.
de Jong 8 - Superb game from de Jong again. he wins so much ball!
Bellamy 6 - Alright, but not close to the top form before Christmas. Didn't get involved enough.
Petrov 6 - Likewise. Shabby crosses to boot.
Benjani 7 - Held the ball up well, and created space for Tevez. Many nice flicks and three assists, albeit fluke ones.
Tevez 10 - MOTM. A terrier, but with speed, technique, vision, killer instinct. He was simply world class today.
RSC looked alright when he came on. Robinho really looked to be in the mood as well, and really created som havoc. Great to have options like that from the bench. We're very fortunate.

Nope, Kompany did it all on his own. Keepers give passes like that several times a game, he just fucked up, but had a very good game besides.

Shite first touch from Kompany but Given should've just blasted the ball upfield in that position. It was Kompany who gave a shit backpass to Given in the first place though so I do agree Kompany is mostly to blame.

Sorry mate, but I think he can! shocking case of showboating from a keeper. That ball needs to be going out, not dinking it over to Kompany in that position. He won't do that again though, and I'm sure Mancini will remind him.

Exactly
Given needs to buck up his ideas. He was ropey tonight.
