Excellent defensively. Had De Bruyne in his pocket.
Great game for him.
Best game for us.
Encouraging performence, I reckon he'll grow as the season goes on as well. Could be vital for us that he stays fit.
Absolutely sublime. Made a very good player look distinctly average.
My MOTM (although Schneiderlin was also good). Excellent defending against a very good player, maybe he could improve his attacking game a bit but since he is a CB its understandable. His crossing is quite decent for a CB though.
Probably my MOTM today, won everything that came his way and even put in a few decent crosses. If he can keep that up we'll be fine at left back while we wait for Shaw's return.
MOTM today was the most solid performance I've seen from him. Marked KDB out of the game
Was excellent.
His best game in a United shirt.
Very good, kdb in his pocket.
Superb today and he's got something we lack all over the pitch - spirit. Pleased for him as he's been written off by quite a lot of people, especially on the Caf
His technique of tackle is ridiculous but it's working out for him. he's got good reactions but he needs to stay 100% focused as this type of defending can come costly quite easily.. Last time I've seen aggressive palyer like this was Rafael, and he was fecking great when he was fit, keep it up Marcos The Red!
good techinque on crosses too, he just lacks better dribbling technique for a wide man but right now he seems like a little better option than Blind who would definately struggle against either one of Yaya, de Bruyne or Navas. Rojo coped really well with all of them..

Probably his best game for us. KDB didn't know what hit him
Defensively solid and never gave de Bruyne any space. Too bad he can't overlap well.
Marcos Rojo's game by numbers vs. Man City:
100% aerial duels
5 clearances
4 crosses
3 tackles won
2 interceptions

Back to playing like he did against Everton, very strong and disciplined defensively and put in a couple of good deliveries. I don't what happened to him in Moscow on Wednesday.
His crossing is pretty good, isn't it?
Great game and that performance shows he should be played in the big games when we'll be tested defensively. When playing the weaker sides he's just not good enough going forward to justify his place though. He's a decent passer and a good crosser but regardless of that, he leaves his winger completely isolated far too often for a team like ours.
He was clearly told he needs to fly up the flanks and support Martial which he did very well today, unlike his performance vs CSKA when he didn't support Martial. He was also brilliant defensively and dominated De Bruyne. A very good overall performance and probably our MOTM.
I'm generally not a fan but was impressed today
A good game today and some dangerous crosses as well. The guy must really hate Russia as he turned to sh*t midweek after an equally impressive display against Everton. The entire back four was made up of powerful, athletic players today and there was something reassuring about that in such a game, Bony got bullied where ever he roamed.
Played really well today - reminded me of Shaw how he kept winning duels. Probably second best player for us after Schneiderlin for me. Still could have offered more in attack like Valencia was doing from the right.
I think @Pogue Mahone is probably shocked by such a performance.
He was impressive today, played a couple of good crosses too but we had no one in the box. My Motm
He was good but how does it show that? We really weren't tested defensively at all. There was no movement in the City side, Bony was shit and didn't try and move wide or run the channels at all, Sagna doesn't offer anything going forward, Toure was shit and Fernando and Fernandinho are never going to trouble anyone. All he had to deal with was De Bruyne who was also shit but fair enough he is class but it is still much easier to defend when all you are doing is worrying about one man. When we'll be tested defensively he'll have to worry about a lot more which he didn't have to today so I don't see how this shows in anyway he will be able to handle games where we really are tested defensively. I don't mean to take away from his performance as he was good but he wasn't tested today on any of his weaknesses.
Sure am. Didn't think he had it in him. Good stuff. More of the same please.
He played well against De Bruyne, Bony and Navas. They didn't play well because we defended proactively very well and Rojo was a big part of that.
Brilliant performance from him, didn't give De Bruyne a sniff. Needed to be on top form with De Bruyne full of confidence,and he certainly was.
Did well but was naughty when Sterling was on the floor and there were a few moments where he found himself out of position. The rest of the team covered him
Well deserved for man of the match on here, really impressed with him today. His best match for the club.
In addition to his great defending, he has a sweet left foot. His crossing was very good.
Is De Bruyne out of his pocket yet?
He's really good on the ball. It's no surprise why LVG bought him to play in the LCB position. It would be interesting to see who would partner Smalling if Shaw was still fit.
A great game today and he was actually supporting Martial today. Great to see. More of the same vs Palace please.

Absolutely perfect performance from him, can't think of one thing he did wrong. Had De Bruyne's number all day long.
Hope LvG finally gives him a proper run in the squad. I feared the worse for him after that passport incident.
Looks like the solution to our LB position in Shaw's absence. Hope he can keep it up!
Needs to give Valencia crossing lessons.
