Hart-7-maybe could of come out for the goal, otherwise top notch as always.
Maicon-8-fell asleep for the goal but in control and very good at creating.
Zabbs-7-ran the line well, utility player again, good stuff.
Kompany-8-this was king Komps of last season, looks good again, played well against Madrids forwards.
Nastasic-7-good distribution from the back looks a good signing, better then Savic, unlucky for Lesscot.
Silva-9-pulled all the strings, tackled everything too, motm and more importantly, back to his best.
Toure-6-just trotted again, lethargic mainly, poor champions league.
Kolorov-6-did nothing wrong but subbed for tactics.
Aguero-8-5 goals from last 4 games, still not back to his best imo, but getting there again.
Dzetko-8-chased and harried down, good control and passing just couldn't score played well.
Nasri-6- fits and bursts as usual, good when he plays but goes missing alot, subbed.
Garcia-8- i thought he looked very solid and shackled Alonso well.
tevez-5- looked rusty.
Milner-5- few decent bursts.

Overall, poor champions league but we come up against the best teams again, hopefully well be back next season will an easier group?

Maicon was great attacking, but as a defender, if you let your man run behind you without reacting you should step off the field.

8's for dzeko, Vinny and Garcia are all rather generous considering they all gave the ball away and made basic errors.

Gonna leave this thread for tomorrow.

Was an interesting game, and from what I've seen on other threads, a few players were divisive.

For the moment:
Hart made a couple of errors. Distribution as poor as ever.
Toure was useless in the position he was playing.
Dzeko had a terrible first 50 minutes.
Tevez looks to be carrying a niggle.
Nasri slows down our play, especially when we're moving it across field. We'd have won convincingly if we'd have had Yaya further up the pitch and de Jong was still here, imho.
We need someone playing behind Maicon at all times.
Aguero over-rated by some, like for 70% of games this season.
Kompany and Zabs hustled well, but with a more bent ref would've been given their marching orders.

A weird game. As much as I hate to state the obvious we only got into it when the 352/532 idea was fucked off.

Has he been as effective since August as during the same period last year? No, for about 70% of games.
Has he received the same level of adulation from most quarters? Yes.
I'm not saying he's played terribly, or even that it's worth considering resting him, but he has not been as effective as a player, full stop.

He made so many mistakes so your 8 for him sounds ridiculous. How ever, he did contribute in the final third of the game.
Yaya was missing, Nasri was too. Kolarov made no impact, Javi did pretty ok considering he was injured.
Silva and Augero worked their socks off.

We sucked ass most of the game, but we had a chance to win it, and thats a positive for me.
bit optimistic, yes I am.

Maicon is too slow and sloppy.

Refs a cunt definitely, despite the almost non existing penalty and a red card.

Misplaced easy passes.

I don't know about the whole team, but from what I saw, Silva gets a 10.
