Roberto Di Matteo

West Bromwich Albion 2 Manchester City 1

Any question marks remaining were swept away in style tonight. When the second string are that well organised and motivated, these can be no doubt about where the credit lies. A lot of last season we coasted games and won purely by virtue of having better players and so you never really knew if the manager was the real deal. But his style of play, organisation, motivation, signings, tactical switches, clear head, pragmatism and apparent man-management skills are clear for all to see now.

I think I'm a little bit in love with him. And his taste in clothes shows potential.
