Mangala proven once again he's not good enough. I think Pellegrini has given him enough chance to prove himself. Tbh, taking him off today was the best decision he has done so far in recent months. I'd rather have Ferna in CB over him, says a lot really. Heck, I'd take Demi in a heart beat over Mangala.

Anyway, typical City today. Always making things difficult for ourselves. We were poor but 2 moment of brilliance won us the game, Watford must've felt robbed loll.

We need Kompany back ASAP if we were to mount our title chance this season. And I can't wait to see Zaba back in the line up.

Come on City!

HART

Another big save from him, keeping out Ighalo in first half, but yet again he did not get the back-up he deserves from rest of his defence 7

SAGNA

Constantly dragged into central positions by City's lack of cover, but generally was the best of the back four – no lack of commitment 6

OTAMENDI

Started awfully, and was turned easily by Ighalo for a chance. 5



MANGALA

Only thing more nervous than him in first half were the City fans, when he got the ball! Improved, but always looks like costing a goal 5

KOLAROV

The own goal made him an easy target for the critics, but what he did before and after that was simply a long way from being good enough. 3

TOURE

Didn't give City a semblance of control, didn't do enough defensive work, didn't produce killer passes or storming runs … and then WOW! 6



FERNANDINHO

Ran his blood to water, combining the roles of best defensive midfielder with best offensive midfielder, and then asked to play centre half. Best on the pitch. 9

DE BRUYNE

Moments of great quality, but they were few and far between – he looks like a tired player, but never stopped working to his credit, may have to go again on Wednesday night! 7

SILVA

Still not back to being the inspirational magician, too many of his passes going askew, but at least he kept plugging away and tried to make things happen. 6

STERLING

His ace could have troubled Watford, but too often he let himself down with a poor touch or lack of a final ball. One of his off days. 5

AGUERO

Still short of a yard of pace, and unable to burst past defenders like he used to – but was in exactly the right place at the right moment to head the winner 6

Subs
NAVAS : (for Sterling, 60) Made a big difference 7

BONY : (for Mangala 75) Held it up 6

DEMICHELIS : (for Aguero 86) Not enough time

City's first away win in the league since September 12th

rumour

Real Madrid expect a bid from City for playmaker Isco (23) but will only accept an offer of around £30m

Away point ranking - 8 . if can fix this. should be ok.

£40m Man City bid could make Sane pass Ozil as Germany's most expensive

that SOB can run like a roach and move like willian

Pep Guardiola: "The reason I have not extended my contract is simple. I want to manage in the Premier League.

Wilfried Bony is out of for a few days with a calf problem, Pellegrini confirms

Kicker is the most reliable source in Germany and today they say again:

"Kicker has information that Guardiola will join Manchester City."

German journalist on radio 5 just said "everyone in Germany knows Pep is going to Manchester City."

can he provide stability to the squad, changing half way is kind of risky to me since we're second place in the table.

not that i don't like him to come he can attract suarez and messi

Pep Guardiola's friend Albert Ferrer: "It would be a perfect fit because he knows Txiki, and Ferran as well."

Ferrer: "They have the type of players he likes, and the style of football that he likes to play and he would sit very well at City."

Pellegrini: "If I have the option to renew here for five more years or to win the title and be sacked, I’d prefer to win the title."

Pellegrini: "I think that if you’re the owner of a club, you must have the option to replace the manager if they win the title or not."

Pellegrini: "You can win a title, and of course the owner can not be happy with your work and they have the right to change."
