Man Of The Match v Bournemouth

A few to choose from today. Feels like a complete performance with every position doing a job. Difficult today.

Kev was great but you could see how fucked he was at half time. So given the fact he played the full 90 I've gone for zabba. Captain's performance that and whoever comes in in the future to take his spot, they could learn a lot from his overlap timing.

I'm glad you're one them who has noticed this as whilst a lot of people have been praising Sagna, our attacking play is way more predictable as Sagna doesn't make the overlapping runs which creates space for others.

I pick KDB though. he brings so much to the table and it's great to have him back.

Several good performances (Willy, Fern1, Navas, Zaba, Silva, Kun, even Fern2) but KDB was the difference maker.

Went for KDB, but also very impressed with the team. Thought Sergio was great today, as were Zabber and Fern1
Amazing what a bit of sun in the South coast can do lol
A great day after fearing the worst. Let finish the season off with s bang

Has to be Tintin. Really missed him. Having him fit and fresh for the rest of the season is massive. Nasri and Delph will be bonuses too. Yaya was not missed and I think will not be available for the PSG match. Fernando was excellent and in fairness has had a decent season. Aguero total handful and Silva was bang on form as well. Also mention for Zabaleta who had a really good game. He and Navas combined very effectively down the right.

Being a bit of a dick here I suppose, but when was it acceptable to award somebody motm when they play less than an hour of a game? Aye kev was brill and I have no qualms about it, but it always strikes me as odd when somebody who, like kev, can get that award for only playing 57 minutes.

I know I'm being an arse. It's just something about modern football that bothers me. I always had this impression that you earn motm for playing the majority or a game, like 80 minutes minimum.

Don't shout at me, I accept I'm wrong.

Fernandinho. Got it right both going forward and defending.

Kdb, I think you can be man of a match in 50 mins when it was wrapped up in less than 20 personally.

Fernando was my second pick if I had to. Thought he was class.
Tracking back is overrated.

Of course you can. Game was over after 20 minutes and KDB had a hand in winning the corner, scored a goal and sent Navas through to cross for the 3rd. Silva looked better having someone taking the focus off him, Aguero looked better having more space in and around the box. Our Kev was the difference maker.

Give me a playmaker who is always looking forwards, willing to make the runs beyond the striker and has that level of skill, how could he not make the difference? Also how unfortunate it was he didn't get a second, that was fucking sublime.

I was chuffed to see Kev back and playing well but I thought the key difference was the confidence in the side that came from having a reliable keeper in net.
If we had De Gea and the rags had Hart, we'd be top with a 9 point lead and they'd be in 12th place - that's the difference between a 'good' keeper and a 'top class' keeper - 12 places - think about it.

Should've mentioned Fernandinho in despatches as well. Player of the season for me.

"Someone" voted for Kolarov and he was a second half sub.

Kolarov could only play 10 seconds and he'd still be the best player on the park.
