If he left footed?

I am so so so sorry.

Going for the de Jong look? Watching a slightly fuzzy strem it's hard to see who's who with all these skinheads

Johnno looks fuclin huge

Not pretty, but job done.

Very impressed with what I saw from Petrov, it looks like he is fighting for his spot.

Decent effort without being spectacular.

job done. very good performance only worry is lescott who's maybe struggling a tad to adapt.

Shit. Wish I'd have thought of that one.

good enough for me. toure was immense as was bridge.

tevez, bellers and de jong also very good.

swp was poor

MOTM???

3 points, 3 players back next week and a weeks rest - that´ll do for me

I thought Petrov was fantastic, he is wasteful at times but a goal and an assist and SO much of our attack came through a guy on his first start...was impressive.

Man of the Match is a toss up between Bridge and Tevez for me. I thought Bridge was outstanding in defense today minus that one dodgy backpass.

Agree to a degree he had bad spells but he did okay in the end. Shame Santa Cruz didn't score that and I got the result correct I guessed 3-1 :). Everybody played really weel all game and you could see how knackered Rigsby was in the second half!

We could have scored 6 for about the fourth time this season.

Its crazy to still have the feeling that we haven't clicked yet and here we are with only one defeat and that was because of a cheating ref.

MAdness I tells ya lads. All this winning, I don't know how to get used to it!!

BTW, that was Barry's worst game in a city shirt IMO.

Been critical of De Jong at times but he was excellent tonight. Top drawer. Toure also who strolled through the game.

Petrov MOTM easily in my opinion.

Can one of you cunts do a poll on it please?

MoTM Bellers for me, created many/most of the trouble for WHU.
Petrov was also worth it, had his goal and different shots....

He really was, good getting forward and wasn't flawless but Noble and Parker is not an easy midfield to dominate but he and Barry really held the ground for 90% of the game.

Toure, Bridge, Tevez and Petrov I thought were all excellent.

....and a crowd of 43,000 which is good going for a Monday night match
