Technically, in comparison with previous seasons, they're awful. But the biggest concern is their positional play.

Many people just cant see beyond the specific moment for the grater good, if that makes sense!?

While it wasn't his greatest game you can still see how how he stretched the defense, and how at times he attracted several players when dribbling which created space for others, when judging influence on a match (hence socre out of 10) you have to look a little past what's obvious sometimes. Finally, damn right he has a selfish streak, and i personally think he gets the balance right, look at the pass to Navas to try and make it 3-1 when he could have gone on alone. That was also an example of how the defender did'nt even try and cover the pass because the threat of Aguero going through and scoring himself is so great. 7 out of 10 all day long.

Not sure what Dimichelis actually did to warrant an 8. As the spare man in the back four he had a stroll until Gomis came on and I find his passing so slow and pedestrian to the point of distraction. Yaya was our best player yesterday and I found the introduction of Lampard ahead of Milner from the bench confusing to say the least (not that either let us down). Navas continues to frustrate me like no other player I've seen in recent years. I'll be happy if he moves on come the season's end.
