Swansea worked very hard to keep us out; they did their homework. A couple stood out though.

Aguero, not many played well over large portions but most added quality at times
Tracking back is overrated.

Kun got 2 goals, but overall I thought Sterling was the best player on the pitch.

Kun clinical, although he should have first timed one very good chance. Raheem I felt was fairly strong throughout the game even if he muffed a few chances. Bravo gets a shout as well. Thought he had his best game.
KDB in the 2nd half was great, but the first invisible.
I can't decide just yet.

This is the way I am leaning as well.

Did Aguero, despite being on a hat-trick, force Raheem to score that goal?

None of the guys had a top game but that touch from Kun was so amazing it made the difference
But, could be we start a weekly poll of "worst of the bunch". I think it could be fun

Didn't get to sit and watch the whole game in peace.
From what I saw we were flawed but still good enough for the win. Raheem did well. So did Kun obviously but am still expecting more from him.
Raheem for me.

Raheem for me.
For me, Swansea did very well in the first half but we played average, compared to recent games. Second half was different and we really played at a different level.
3-1 away to ant team is big.

Raheem wasn't perfect but had some great touches throughout the game and did great for his goal

Kun amazing as always but my vote's for Sterling. He has just been looking so good recently under Pep! Him, him 1000x over!

Why not do both?

As much as it may baffle some, I gave my vote to Kolarov.
I think he's received some unfair criticism in the past, mostly because of his position in a high line defence and being played out of his best position under previous management.
I don't believe that Pep's reinvented him or blessed him with new skills, as some seem to think, I think that Pep just knows where best to play him for his talent to be seen and we're all seeing it now IMO.
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.

I hear you, but today was not his best nor the best performance by the players.
Sounds more like an award given for collective improvement in management to Pep rather than MOTM to Kolarov.
He was also burned on a few occasions for pace today as we have seen in the past, although he did do some other good things.

I agree with Beefy we have enough history of boo boys that a worst of the bunch will just be counterproductive.
