Nastasic for me - looking increasingly unflappable...

No idea. Only caught the last 10 minutes and Quinny gave it to Yaya?

Agree with Niall Quinn. Has to be Barry for me. Worked his arse off and was very effective both going forward and in defence.

Im giving it to Zabs - played tirelessly in three different positions with enough energy to sprint three quarters of the length of the pitch near the end, AND get back to try and block a cross not long afterwards.

Had to mother Garcia as well - looks like a lost sheep, someone give him a boot up the arse and remind him he's a good player, or he's going the same way as Savic.
Another excellent performance from Nastasic, but i'd give it to Barry for linking everything and being a complete midfielder tonight.

I thought he said Yaya. Those shitty streams!

Where was Carlos and Sergio?

tevez spent the whole game on the bench, which is ridiculous, and aguero was awful, but tried. imho.

Aguero started wide left and had a mare. Carlos not needed!!!!

Crap performance, brilliant 3 points and MotM has to be Nasti. Too many errors from Zaba but boy is that guy a warrior. Barry was good but again a few too many slip ups.

Mario had a great game. mancini also.

You have to give him some slack since he played in three positions today - still able to charge almost the whole length of the pitch at the end too, and still putting his body on the line at the end. My man of the match was Zabs, on effort alone.

Didn't see all of the match but I thought Maicon had another good game from the bits I saw
.

Nasty

This

Zabba for me. Good in three positions.

So did I, his versatility is becoming more important each week.

For me tonight we seriously stepped up to the plate as a team and showeded the togetherness and determination of champions

fair do's mate - get your sentiment. but personally thought the players played way below themselves for MOST of the game, and slightly "got out of jail".

just seemed so incoherent.

It's a close tie among Nasti and Barry.
Barry has been great keeping afloat a very dodgy midfield performance, with Yaya, half arsed till last quarter and Garcia, well....

Went for Nasti, for not replicating the same vote of the last game: he just had the first, slight flop on the third minute of added time. Remarkably solid.

Think that much slagged Balo did fairly well, goal apart: several runs in and cuts inside in the first half would have deserved better attention...

(Gentle request)

Can everybody vote for Mario, just to see Piccs reaction!

Also, add Mancini just for good measure.

And Petrov ;-)
