player Ratings
James โฃTrafford (4/10)
Trafford โmissed โขa โฃcrucial opportunity to establish โคhimself as a reliable option to Gianluigi Donnarumma. โคDespite facing only two shots, he conceded both goals, with both proving challenging โto save.A risky venture off his line, lacking communication with John Stones, could have resulted in a moreโค significant โฃsetback.
Abdukodir Khusanov โ(5/10)
Khusanov struggled against Christian Kofane, being easily beaten, and lacked the paceโ to โeffectively close downโฃ Grimaldo’s runs.โ As a traditional center-back, he offers limited attacking support.
John Stonesโค (6/10)
Stones was one of the few City startersโ who appeared composed and confident.He demonstrated โhis ability โขto carry the ball forward effectively.
Nathan Ake (5/10)
Returning to the starting lineup after a month-long absence, Ake appeared somewhat stiff.He failedโฃ to โtrack the movement of Schick, who exploited the space behind him to โฃscore a headed goal.
Rayan Ait-Nouri (4/10)
Ait-Nouriโฃ seemed disconnected โfrom his teammates, exhibiting โขa lack of alertness in defense and creativity in attack. His substitution at halftime was unsurprising.
