Manchester City player ratings
Ederson – 7/10
Important saves helped Manchester City escape from conceding a goal. Especially the shots of Kerkesh and Solanke before successfully keeping a clean sheet.
Manuel Akanji – 6/10
Stretched out to the right-back position in place of Walker, many times should have inserted himself into the offensive game more when he had possession of the ball.
John Stones – 7/10
Push up and become another midfielder when the team has possession of the ball. He even called for a free-kick around the penalty area in the first half, although Bournemouth tried to take advantage of the space behind him, but overall Stones had an outstanding performance.
Ruben Dias – 6/10
Has excellent blocking and clearing timing. Especially blocking the shot. Tavernier Always good to play with Stones.
Nathan Ake – 6/10
Quite still when the ball is at your body. It is difficult for opponents to pass when dueling one-on-one with him. But almost got punished for a slippery moment, but it’s still good that Tavernier couldn’t shoot.
Rodri – 7/10
Keep scanning and controlling tempo in the midfield. The second half had to play more defense than expected. But there was nothing wrong.
Mateo Kovacic – 6/10
Survive well when faced with stressful situations. Including calling free kicks as well. But many times he was so poor in his position that Rodri was overworked.
Bernardo Silva – 6/10
Holds the ball tight and has a chance to shoot until it almost goes in. Many times he tried to pull the home defense to create more space for Haaland to score.
Matheus Nunes – 5/10
He even moved to the left side of the line because he was a midfielder with speed. But he didn’t seem to get along very well until he was eventually substituted for a natural winger like Dogu.
Phil Foden – 8/10
The nose was quick enough that Haaland’s shot was the winning goal for the ทางเข้า ufabet team. Coordinate with teammates very well. And is one of the most dangerous players on the field.
Erling Haaland – 6/10
Create problems for the host every time they move. Should have been the one to score the goal but was saved by Neto, but in the end it didn’t escape Foden’s sight anyway.
Substitute
Jeremie Dogu (replaces Nunes, 63′) – 6/10 – Clearly flashier and more intimidating than Nunes.
Julian Alvarez (replaces Haaland, 75′) – 5/10 – Hopes to add a different dimension from Haaland, but rarely gets the ball.
Kevin De Bruyne (in place of Kovacic, 84′) – 6/10 – Too little time to create chances for the team. Plus he got a yellow card.
