MotM v The Toon

[Beefymcfc]

Some good performances considering and we didn't really give them a shot on goal.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Clichy for me.

[Cocacolajojo1]

Dzonkey!

[Dameerto]

Top three for me were Dzeko, Fernando, and Silva (roughly in that order). Good offensively from Yaya but not quite up to speed defensively yet (he did get back and help out a few times though, just a bit rusty I think).

[phips]

Dzeko for me. Fernando second and a mention for Clichy who did well at RB. shame that he'll be on the bench on Monday after that performance

[Slim]

Silva, because.

[aaron bond]

Fernando for me.

Thought he played very well, particularly when you consider it was his first Premier League match. He put in many crucial tackles and blocks and didn't stop running the whole match.

Great start for him with us.

[Beefymcfc]

I went for Clichy but it could have been quite easily Silva or Dzeko. Clichy just ran that line really well and often cut across to cover.

[lovecity8utd]

Edin for me. Hold up play, all round effort and back heel for goal - good performance.

[Nigels Tackle]

edin dzeko oooh oooooh

[nottsblue]

Fernando for me.

Thought he played very well, particularly when you consider it was his first Premier League match. He put in many crucial tackles and blocks and didn't stop running the whole match.

Great start for him with us.

Snap for me too

[Ted Hughes]

Ed.

[failsworthblue]

Fernando - Covered every blade today and filled in for the usual lazy Toure performance.

I thought David was excellent as well.

[clippo22]

Dzeko for me.

He ran his socks off all day, some of his hold up play was fantastic and his defensive work at corners and free kicks were important.

Good performances from silva, clichy and fernando too, great way to start the season and bring on the scousers next Monday!

[Cit.revenge]

Vote for Edin impress me , he trap ball today and work in defense, close second Fernando, make big shadow for Fernandhino

[mcfc1632]

I was torn between Ed and Silvia - but just talking to Newcastle fans in the bar here - they were in total agreement that - "...we simply could not control or get the ball of Silva" - so that sways me

[Spurge]

Clichy for me.

And me - very competent at right back.

Dzeko showed real strength in holding up the ball holding up and linking play.

Silva was on it

Fernando settled in very well

Aguero class finish

The rest weren't bad either!

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Clichy today looked far more settled and accomplished playing right back then he did in any game at left back last season.
Would normally give motm to Dzeko who was superb but since he was playing 'out of position' of sorts, it goes to Gael for me.

[Mikhail Chigorin]

Merlin for me.

[Hutch's Shoulder]

Edin
