There was plenty going on both on and off the pitch as City eased to victory over Blackburn Rovers.
-
Saturday's strikeforce already look in unison as they check in for another busy day at the office.
-
David Pizarro takes it all in with a double-shot skinny latte to go, or something.
-
The boss puts pen to paper, and maybe picks up on a subliminal message to pick Adam Johnson from the start?
-
This little fella is made up after the boss signs his programme.
-
Pablo gives a low five but is already looking beyond to get himself in the right place for the game.
-
Joe and co are ready to go but it's a Rovers no-show.
-
Take one mascot onto the pitch? Not good enough for Vinnie.
-
David Silva tests Chappy's catching and balancing skills.
-
The boss asks Brian to pass him another fruit pastille.
-
A missed chance is shrugged off but Mario's more concerned about the whether his socks look the part or not.
-
David Platt looks like he's calling for back-up, or maybe the bench needs an extra tube of fruit pastilles?
-
The Rovers defence decides the best way to deal with Mario is to get up close and personal. Not sure what you'd call this dance step, either...
-
Vinnie aks Mario for tips after that sublime finish that put City ahead.
-
Yaya wanted to join in the celebrations, but catching a few z's suddenly seemed a better idea.
-
Joe nips off as one of his quieter afternoons comes to an end.
-
A captain's work is never done - the skipper prepares for a grilling from the world of social media via the capable hands of Hugh Ferris as #askvincent goes live.
