And our second goal was a thing of beauty.Also just to note it was impressive how we came out second half. We've started so many poorly and slowly but today was a lot better.

Rogers has a glide mode - he used today 2/3 timesWe robbed Middlesbrough with the fee we paid for Rogers.
Great performance today with no weak links to my eyes.
Tielemans was superb as was Watkins, Torres and Emi. A shame to miss anyone out from the roll of honour.
No.Is this set up more productive than fitting in Douglas. Or is it just we got more predictable when Douglas has been playing.
The weather matched the performance aswell - great to watch with the sun shiningEveryone deserved at LEAST an 8/10 today, maybe even a 9.
Top drawer, particularly after Thursday night's exploits.
Love this team, love this manager and his sidekicks. We are a serious outfit and we are going places.
Danny Murphy giving all the credit to Man City for any of the youngsters they have sold or let go like Rogers - surely WBA, Boro and Emery should get mentioned and given all the creditBBC continued to excel themselves last night after the shambles of Football Focus on Saturday. The highlights of our game on MOTD consisted of a first half showing five Bournemouth attacks in a row followed by our goal and the particular highlight in the second half was the reference from the female commentator who seems to have as much charisma as my garden fork, referring to ‘Mohammed’ Diaby as he tucked away our second….you’d think they’d try to edit it out..but I guess the editors are as clueless as the rest of them!
That was a pathetic comment and drew admonishment from Mrs SD for my verbal tirade at the telly.Danny Murphy giving all the credit to Man City for any of the youngsters they have sold or let go like Rogers - surely WBA, Boro and Emery should get mentioned and given all the credit
More and more now I'm finding that the Premier League highlights from the Sky website are enough for me.BBC continued to excel themselves last night after the shambles of Football Focus on Saturday.

Cant see Unai leaving him out after his suspension. Although I'm surprised we coped so well without him the last 2 PL games.Is this set up more productive than fitting in Douglas. Or is it just we got more predictable when Douglas has been playing.
I thnk it's because Youri has been so good.Cant see Unai leaving him out after his suspension. Although I'm surprised we coped so well without him the last 2 PL games.
Her monotone voice really does grate on me.

Citeh take the cream of the crop of youngsters, so on average, more of them should make the grade. Yes they are taught the basics, but it's not Pep taking them every day. I'll kind of forgive pundits as they have to come up with a 3 second soundbite to make some kind of point, but as @sirdennis says, I'm getting tired of the same old clichés being trotted out.Danny Murphy giving all the credit to Man City for any of the youngsters they have sold or let go like Rogers - surely WBA, Boro and Emery should get mentioned and given all the credit
Forgive Danny Murphy? Not a chance the bloke is an imbecile - Rogers stood out yesterday against a very organised/tenacious midfield. Emery has taken many of these players to the next level - I suspect Rogers has got a couple more levels to go still - for an initial £8m and starting lower wage he looks an absolute snip. Him and Ramsey are definitely the futureCiteh take the cream of the crop of youngsters, so on average, more of them should make the grade.

As for Rogers, no-one other than Unai spotted the "potential" and I remember his first outing for us and thought he was ok going forward but suspect defensively. As loads have pointed out, in the game between us and Boro, he was totally anonymous. Many a manager could have ruined this kid, never to be seen again. Unai has developed him and due to various circumstances, he got, and took his opportunity.
The comparisons are clear but I'd love to see them in the same side on top form. Defenders would rightly shit their pants with those two running at them.Him and Ramsey are definitely the future
