Savic was excellent, I disagreed with radio commentator who said ‘why spend all that money on Savic when City have Onuoha on the books.’
I have always liked Nedum, he’s a City boy, but the comparison does him no favours; Savic is technically accomplished, comfortale on the ball and made a mug of Zigic in the aerial contest and the guy should have dwarfed him.

Aleks K had ANOTHER very good game VFAB, he’s a quality player, great left peg, crosses early and this ability is deadly when the right players get used to his play and get on the end of these (Aguero).

Spot on yet again although perhaps a bit, understanbly, kind to Razak. I hope he was playing to instructions otherwise we have a youngster who passes backwards and sideways more than De Yong and thats saying an awful lot. He didn’t do a lot wrong, but floating in and in front of a back four that faced only one Birmingham forward I think I’d have had a decent game too – and I was watching from my wheelchair!

add assulin, bunn, guidetti, henshall, suarez, roman, rekik to that list and future looks even brighter.

Tevez need to learn how to link up with other players. He is very greedy on the ball. This might have been okay last season as he was carrying the team on most part but things are different now and he needs to adapt.

Razak was impressive, strong and solid and I do not see why he can not get more games with current team and get nurtured by our squad as opposed to being shipped out to another club to this for us.

Promising Youngsters, Boyata, Razak, Savic. Things look bright.

i suppose with the system we play, his quality of crossing isn’t appreciated (not a traditional english style of play unlike the rags). i think there was one instance in the second half which i completely agree with, where he blazed it across the box.

bit gutted to not see assulin get a run out. razak superb for his first game. no doubt he’ll become more forward thinking with confidence.
