Superb, all around.

Bernie was fantastic, Foden worked his arse today and Dias saved our arse with another incredible save.

Foden.

Top team performance

We have got the spirit and mojo back from 17/18 and 18/19 well and truly back

Foden, Gundogan and Bernie ran the midfield. Dias and Stones solid again. Cancelo quietly decent again and could have bagged a couple of goals on another night. Big Ed did what was necessary

But Bernie just shades it as his goal was the difference

Bernie, for that goal and he just kept going and was everywhere

Phil great, just missing the final touch but amazing work ethic

Razza & Stirling shit. Mahrez shit. Jesus shit

Big Ed quality

Diaz awesome again

Gundo for me. He was bossing that midfield and controlling the game even before Tintin went off.

That's some going

Bernardo was outstanding as was Gundo, Foden, Rodri and the back four, Sterling, Jesus might as well not have been on the pitch in terms of creativity. That was a tough game and fair play to the Villa defence. Sterling and Jesus really need a goal.

As said good all round esp in those conditions
Toss up between Bernie and Gundog but went for Gundog

Jesus is really a worry.
Never seen him this bad.

Really difficult when you are playing against a parked bus.

Rodri?

Sky gave it to Rodri in their match report

Rodri played well. The worst City player was Raheem sadly. Really poor I thought. Gave it to Phil.

Are they seeing what Pep sees?

Foden really does seem to be making his mark this season and got MotM from me, but it was a close run thing with Bernie, who also seems to have got back to his very best.

If we had a world class striker fit and at the peak of his game we would be absolutely unstoppable.

Again a lot of contenders, but I had to decide between Phil & Bernie -- Bernie edged it with the goal. I too have concerns over Gabby, just can't click.

Foden class he’s pissing all over our supposed world stars at the moment

Is not just today.
The problem is he went into hiding and something happened with his ball control. Maybe covid really hit him hard, but he looks bad.

Phil for me, skinned his full back again and again, his decision making was also really good.
Gundogan is just Mr Consistent at the minute, he's been really good game after game.
Honourable mention for Rodders last night, best he's played in a long time- likewise Zinchenko when he came on.
Only 1 of the starting 11 who was poor was Sterling, never looks likely to beat his man any more.
