I thought grimes was very good today , actually sits like pirlo , not saying hes as good ofcourse but its strange to watch as I'd normally hate a player sit so deep but he could find space in a phone box with gemma CollinsGrimes is mustard and suits us so much more than Sheaf
He sits in front of the defence playing that disruptor role but he does it with such craft and elegance it makes him so good to watch.I thought grimes was very good today , actually sits like pirlo , not saying hes as good ofcourse but its strange to watch as I'd normally hate a player sit so deep but he could find space in a phone box with gemma Collins
Hate to use the word but there were some frankly filthy diagonals he was finding today. Teams allow him time on the ball at their perilI thought grimes was very good today , actually sits like pirlo , not saying hes as good ofcourse but its strange to watch as I'd normally hate a player sit so deep but he could find space in a phone box with gemma Collins
Wrights first touch when winning the penalty was filthDovin the only one to get below an 8, and that's only because he had nothing to do.
Torp, Allen and Dasilva had probably their best games in a City shirt.
What a difference it made having a striker who can control the ball, and who is so good on the half turn.
Grimes is mustard and suits us so much more than Sheaf
Saka even gave it them back on a corner loved it got the crowd even more amped up.I'm going to give everyone a 9 except Jamie & Victor get 10 and Haji got 11 possibly 12.
In addition I'm awarding Saka a medal for valour having been targeted by the Mackems and smacked down on what maybe half a dozen occasions but getting up every time.
Leave o'beckenwanker alone... He's taking it easy until Liverpool call to replace van Dijk.O’Nien 1
Absolutely shat himself every time ball went near him.
Allen should be higher.Dovin 7
MVE 8

5 ft 8?Allen should be higher.
My favorite was when two defenders fouled him at the same time, no whistle so he just jumped up and took the ball back from them and carried on like nothing had happenedThat show boating touch from emc too.![]()
Worse passing! He hit a 60yard pass to Saka's foot in the right channelThey were all superb today, great team performance hopefully Wright keeps up this performance for the rest of the season, if I had to pick the worst player it would be Kitching I thought his passing was poor but that's only not picking and we got another 3 wonderful points and from them it felt like another 10 points![]()

I think Dasilva should be lauded for yesterday, especially. And that's because he's had such vitriol on here for quite some time. Clearly been labelled "shite" and wanted rid of asap.Wright and Allen 9s everyone else 8 , Dasilva was the player today that we all hoped we had signed last season , and if he continues to play that way Bidwell will be spending a long time on the bench.
5ft5 ft 8?
I have just edited, I did say not picking when it should have been nit picking, I also have edited to say at times with his passing and yes the crossfield ball to Saka was filthyWorse passing! He hit a 60yard pass to Saka's foot in the right channel
The problem is with Dasilva he has 1 good game and then followed by many shite games, we still need better but have to agree he was good yesterday I doubt he has turned a corner but lets enjoy it while we canI think Dasilva should be lauded for yesterday, especially. And that's because he's had such vitriol on here for quite some time. Clearly been labelled "shite" and wanted rid of asap.
There is definitely a player in there. I have always said that, along with others on here and I've always said I quite like him, but he does worry me from a defensive standpoint. Too many mistakes and beaten far too easily at times and clearly targeted.
Really pleased he put in such a really good performance yesterday and now obviously, he deserves to keep his place.
We clearly still need a LB/LWB going forward, but can't fault him at all for his efforts in this game yesterday.
Torp was absolutely brilliant today. Some player.
Kept it very well and took pressure off, according to fbref it was 12 touches in 5 minutes. EMC had 33 in 85. Grimes had 97 in 90.Bit of a reach on Paterson, he must have touched the ball max 5 times.
