Manchester City v/s Everton - 24th September 2011

Manchester city 2 - 0 Everton
Bolatelli 68'
Milner 89'

Everton visited Eithaad stadium on the backdrop of a victory over West Brom and Wigan. With strikers like Cahill they were looking to bother the Manchester city's well built defense spearheaded by the likes of Komapny. On the other hand Manchester City was quite confident despite thier recent draw against Fulham where they lost the two goal lead and only managed to get a point. Roberto Mancini's men were all prepared to do business and outclass David Moyes side.

The game began in a slow mode and nothing interesting happened except for few shots from Manchester City and Some good saves form Tim Howard, the Everton goalkeeper.Dzeko and Aguerro looked good but overall the performance was a lazy one from the whole team seemed like they were tired except from some quality passes from Silva. Baines was the man for visitors providing them with regular balls in the box but they were never really a threat to a well balanced Manchester City side.

As the game kicked off after half time Manchester city looked more determined though the game play was still lazy Everton defenders seem tired so was the crowd in the stands. The game really took a turn when Dzeko was replaced by young Italian Bolatelli who came in to spur up Manchester city's performance and kill any hopes that Everton had to steal a point away form the Eithaad stadium.

He came in to score and made the score line 1-0 at when the clocked ticked to 68th minute.

later Milner showed the quality he posses and ensured that Manchester City gets 3 points from the game. when he score on 89th minute to make it 2-0

the game ended Manchester city 2 - 0 Everton

Manchester City goes top of the table until Manchester United plays in the late kickoff.

Owen Hargreaves where should he go?

We all know what he is capable of, and we know what he need to do. Hargreaves has got the talent and spirit that can make any player a superstar in the premier league. He has been on the sidelines for almost two years and never really settled with Manchester after his move from Bayern. He can be a wonderful player if he is fit. But a club like Manchester city is it good for him.

Manchester city is full of players they have got talent in plenty. If he joins them he wont be getting regular football and thats not what he need. He needs to play more regularly to be back at this stage. Stoke or West Brom will definitely give him the chance to show his talent. He needs a platform to display his capabilities not a platform to sit on the bench.

So where should he head. Give us your views on the same.

Yossi Benayoun heading out

Chelsea midfielder Benayoun who hardly played for Chelsea after his move from Liverpool today posted on twitter that he is in talks with various clubs and the resolution will be made before the end of transfer window. He is the same guy whom Andres Villlas Boas praised for his versatility during the pre - season.

He is definitely an architect in the midfield and can provide assists for strikers. Chelsea could have tried him for some time he could be an asset to any side who is looking for creativity with pace.

Can he be a link between Modric and Chelsea
