This is what we wanted to see,this is what city fans dreamt of since the takeover,a side so superior in every way that thier very presence is enough to scare off teams.Adam johnson did himself no favours & found himself marked out the game as everything was directed at motm Micah richards.A true blue & this fella has been missed.Kompany out through injury,lescott back in & micah at right back.
Kolarov gave the league champions a great start with a free-kick in the third minute, but despite dominating most of the match, it was not until the 60th minute when Aguero, who had just come on for Mario Balotelli, that the home side doubled the lead with a sharp near-post finish from Kolarov's cross.Mancini seemsto get some things back to front,rewarding goals with starts !?!
Sunderland's threat were few and far between although Steven Fletcher's header brought a good save from Joe Hart, although the Sunderland forward was offside. It meant that City kept a clean sheet for the first time this season.
The away side scored twice late on in the corresponding fixture last season but Milner made sure that no such comeback took place as his powerful free-kick from the right with two minutes remaining secured the points.
City had umpteen chances at the goal & hit the post & bar today,David Silva unlucky .Adam Johnson was given a standing ovation by the city fans & lets hope this serves as a reminder that he was NOBODY till mancini made him famous.Slaggin us off in the press can only be a financial benefit as it makes you no friends.Nigel De-jong is a class player & class human being ...
GREAT PERFORMANCE-GREAT TEAM -BLUE MOON-OVER & OUT :)
