MotM v Burnley

[dazby]

Ederson for me. So dominant.

[Dameerto]

It's unheard of to be voting for a defender, but I went for Stones - cool, calm and collected.

He's much more than that though - under Pep he looks to start attacking moves with his passing (which can lead every now and then to him giving possession away but it's worth the risk when it pays off).

[freshie]

Was fucking freezing wet and windy as fuck at the Etihad today , if this game was a later KO it would have been called off sure ! Exits getting out of the Etihad were closed because of flooding at full time , emergency exits in place where no floods . Cant be arsed with match thread as some right bollocks being posted there ! Conditions were truly horrendous !
Anyways KDB and Merlin were still going strong late 2nd half so no fatigue issues whatsoever for those who were so convinced these guys aren't actually supreme athletes , Bernado Silva showed some class and what a player this guy is going to be . Sane despite so much criticism on here from a few posters actually had a very decent game scoring a beauty plus an assist . Aguero did ok and worked tirelessly against a very resolute Burnley defence . Ederson had fuck all to do apart from run the full lengh of the pitch after the penalty to tell half a dozen Burnley players to fuck off . MOM for me though is Otter , solid again and scored a great header for the all important 2nd goal .

People were voting for Kolarov loads last season.

What I meant Mase, is that it's unheard of for myself to vote for a defender.

Should have been more specific.

Get you. Apart from all your votes for Kola though.

P1 P2 exits closed due to flooding and city center at 5.30 pm resembled something from hurricane othelia , I would have been drier if I had jumped in the fuckin Rochdale canal !!!

Ederson for me. So dominant.

He has no hesitation to dive head first for the ball after getting 10 stitches in the face a few weeks ago. Love having a proper hard man in goal

Kola was more than a defender; he was a veritable colossus, a giant amongst giants, a legend beyond all earthly beliefs, the guardian of the keep, the keeper of the keys, the beating heart of all we aspire to......just wish he'd been able to play football.......



(just joking Mase; seriously, just joking )

Scored again from a free kick for Roma today, the winner in a 1-0 win at Torino

My Roma shirt is on order.

Isn't it just funny. For years there were loads banging on about how they didn't want Brazilians any where near MCFC. They were soft, allegedly.
Now we have 4. Isn't it ironic as Alanis would say....

[gillie]

Went for Stones as he starting to play like everyone thought he would do. Reminds me of Bobby Moore every time I see him play these days.

Guardiola saw the light!

Yet to decide between Eddie and Johnny for the Napoli game MotM, but for this Stones comes quite clear best to me.

Special mention to Ederson close second best and Walker, despite what I am aware has become a little soft spot of me, towards Kyle since I read that self embarassing tweet by FACup's ears when, the transfer was sealed. i.e. to say that perhaps I am getting a tad Mase-esque when it comes to assess Kyle performance

A, also glad to spend a very rare appreciative words on Otamendi, for is all important header which sealed the game and, maybe problably win it.
I still maintain that the guy is as farther to the even idea of a Pep's CB as it gets (a liability to a side so much depemding on constant building from the back), but am also happy to have to commend him on being good enough so far, as per mainstream opinion.
