I think Westwood might have a tough time of it getting back into the team upon his return. Not sure I'd drop any of the three right now.

I thought he did his best work off the ball today, as he was a bit iffy when in possession.

Agreed, one or two simple passes went straight to City players. KEA was our best midfielder today.

Agreed, but I think we play better/stronger with Sylla in the side. I thought he was a big physical presence in the 2nd half and got in Toure's face for much of that 45 mins

And was always tracking across to help Luna when he ended up 2 on 1.

Definetly still raw but today he looked a lot more positive in possession one or two forward runs without turning back....I do hope he or bacuna change their hair style though :-\

One of his strengths - hes always cutting off the runs of wingers and helping out the full backs, which is the sort of thing that gets easily overlooked.

Don't know if it's true or not but in a league game when he's played we haven't lost? Even if it isn't true I love him in the side, a player who gives his all is what I like. He's looking like the find of the century.

Another good signing by the manager, a grafter and does a great job for the team.

I thought he was shite today and I was a fan from last season.   Maybe the lack of starts was to blame, but was not impressed at all.

Des Bremner was not the best passer in the world, but what a flucking player, though would not have said that after his debut lol

He was the worst out of the three today up until 70 minutes. Then he was superb. Copy and paste this into every thread there is.
