The Midfield
Rodrigo
Made more passes in the game than the entire West Ham side, even if most of them were no more than 2 feet and sideways. It is how he fares against better sides who will press him which will be the deciding factor. Right now, I was more troubled by some of his careless passing.
Player Rating 7
Kevin de Bruyne
Our bona fide superstar. Ran the show. Always hungry and willing to work hard. Not always helped out by a lack of movement at times around him. Dropped deeper in the second half and they had no answers. A goal and an assist. Man of the Match.
Player Rating 9
David Silva
A better display than recently against a team who summarily failed to press him at all. Lots of turms and flicks to roll back the years. Left clutching his hamstring but hopefully that will be a minor knock.
