Saliba and Rice

Both absolute top class players.

It was a team effort today, but those two along with Saka and Martinelli are good enough to fit into any team.

Gabriel was excellent too, but yes, Saliba is just incredible

Rice is class, but he was bang average today

We are going to get a lot more out of Rice than WH did - he now has the freedom - and the players round him - to allow more forward runs with the ball

Won the ball back about 9 times, City barely had a look in, had a near perfect pass rate (including 2 "key passes". Not sure what you want from a DM but Rice was pretty faultless today.

They want him to abandon the midfield and score goals like casemiro does

Our best players today, in no particular order: Rice, Saliba and Jesus.

After these 3 I'd say Gabriel was good, Jorginho was pretty good and Martinelli did very well to have an impact given his lengthy hamstring absence.

Shout out to Havertz as well, was decent when he came on and teed up the goal.

Honestly can't see Casemiro getting back in their team after his latest humiliation on Saturday. He will be playing in Saudi either January or the summer
