and have to say McSheffrey looks really good in his roving role up front and keogh is immense.
Experience useful from heriederson but he's way off fitness.
Platt great as ever for 65 minutes. Clingan leads well and solid.
Nimely looks like he has learnt his football along side Aguero and co on the training pitch.
Overall after a shaky start a very well executed win. Why the hell are we where we are?
Clingan slows the whole team down. If Deegan hadn't been booked I'd have taken him off at HT. If its a choice between him, Keogh or Cranie I know who id get rid of.

He was the player we carried today. He was dire. I agree that he should have been the one sacrificed at HT but because of Deegans booking (and a silly booking at that) and the ref being so card happy, I thought Thorns decision to take Deegan off was the right one. I hope Deegan didnt storm out again though.

I thought Clingans passing second half was quality! He was constantly talking, closed down relentlessly and he and Connor formed a really strong base for the advanced shape. You've also got to factor in that he's working his way back to full fitness after injury. But City fans don't consider that, and we only like things that are shiny and new, right?
