I thought the back four performed close to perfectly. Extra credit to Clichy and Zabba for their offensive conribution and to Vinny for the goal. Also thought he did well not to become nervous and shying away from challenges after the early (ridiculous) yellow.
Yaya was very good, but as always, he didn't start to really shine until we changed formation and moved forward.
Barry was immense, in my opinion. He cleans up so well and is always just at the right place.
The front four worked their socks off, but had a hard time with scum sitting back. I thought Tevez looked a little bit unfit tonight. you could see that he missed that extra yard of pace he had last season. Nasri was very good, but should have buried his chance. Aguero played great as well, but there were quite a lot of times where I thought he could have done more with the ball.
SIlva did well as well, but I thought it was right to bring him off instead of Nasri or Kun.
