Hart - A quiet afternoon and little he could do for either goal. 6
Boateng - His best performance to date. Looks a very commanding presence and should be a permanent fixture now. 7
Kompany - Another very good display. His tackling and anticipation of play again of the highest quality. 7.5
Lescott - First game in the centre and was fairly sound in possession but didn't look as assured as (Kolo) Toure has. 6
Bridge - Was positive in an attacking sense, but defensively was poor positionally. 5.5
de Jong - Lacked the tenacity and bite to his play. Clearly affected by the Ben Arfa fall-out. 5
Barry - Neat and tidy in possession as ever, but did nothing to dispell the suggestion that he needs to be part of a central trio to thrive. 6
Milner - The pick of the midfielders. Alternating across the midfield, provided energy, committment and delivery. 7
Johnson - Fired an excellent shot early on, but flitted in and out of the game. May have profited had he spent more time on the left. 6
Adebayor - Mancini praised his work rate, but the 'Dickov' role is not what we need from him. Offside too often and gave the ball away on more than one occasion. 5
Tevez - Delivered the killer blow and a touch of quality when it was needed. 28 goals in his past 31 games speaks volumes of his worth to the side. 8
Subs:
Silva - Possessor of a wonderful touch and sublime close control. The spark that saw us grab the points. 8
Richards - Replaced Boateng and the side didn't lose a step. 6.5
Vieira - Little time to impact. n/a
