Rodwell

To be honest I spent half the game agonising over Aguero and noticing much else. For myself, I'm going to give him a whole season before singing his praises or writing him off. Nasri was a total passenger for the first half of last season.

Some of our best players had absolute shockers today.

Silva had a bit of a mare didnt he. Still good by anyone elses standards but poor for him

If Mancini plays him next game it'll be in marked contrast to Moyes handling of Barkley post Blackburn.

I think he will. Mancini was happy with his performance from the interview.

He could've subbed him off for Balotelli etc to make them more attacking at 2-1, but hauled off Silva instead

I think the pain of losing Aguero for a bit will fade once you realise you have Dzeko, Ballotelli, Tevez, Adeybayor, Guidetti, Santa Cruz...

Poor lad, the one forward pass he made all match led to Southampton's goal

Thought he did well except for the awful mistake. He is much more mobile compared to Barry, and he seems pretty mature at recognising where the risk is and covering the danger. Strong player. His passing is roughly equal to Barry's. On the whole most City fans are pleased excepting the errant pass, many were worried the game would pass him by.

I'll be looking to see how he responds, that's the most important thing. He looks very nervous and ironically his worry over committing a mistake probably caused the mistake, hopefully that will pass in time.

He has everything needed in terms of physical attributes and skill....just needs some patient coaching of aggression and confidence into him.

So because of one stray pass he won't make it at City? Ok.

I've said it before the best quote on Rodwell I heard from a senior (ish) member of Everton's coaching staff was "too much birkdale , not enough kirkdale "
