VMC Man Of The Match v Bolton

Adam Johnson, City's new two footed berserker of a winger takes the plaudits in the VMC Forums with a thumping vote and deservedly so...

It was Johnson's trickery that turned the game in City's favour, winning the penalty that allowed Carlos Tevez to score his 19th goal in 27 City starts.

Many of us can't recall a finer Blues debut in recent memory.

Pablo Zabaleta, our very often unsung hero, coming in second again proving he is this side's Bobby MacDonald with yet more non stop battling and ball winning effort. Sylvinho's mum and gran chipped in with a couple of votes.
