Yep, even when he's on the outskirts of a game, he retains possession, wins cheap free kicks and just absolutely screws up any momentum the opposition try to gain.
Proper in game management.

Wound them up beautifully as well. Thought he was solid
That's what we've missed for seasons, top players know the dark arts of in game management and he does it so well.

Why were the Villa fans booing him? Thought they liked him?

Thought he was fantastic today. In a very Pienaar esque way. Killed all momentum they had time and time again and was a constant outlet for us. Really intelligent game.

A very clever performance. The win was more important than single handily trying to silence the boos.
Probably just to try and put him off

Best we've had since Arteta at winning fouls by putting his body between the tackler & ball. Or acceptable cheating as I like to call it.
Did what had to be done today.

Weirdos the Villa fans. Showed their colours when the still fawned over him whenever the played against him with City. Rolling over and letting what they perceived as a big club tickle their belly. Now they have the hump he's with a team they perceive as on their level. Small club behaviour
