STARTING XI:
Sanchez - 6: Pulled off 4 good saves and put in a decent shift on his first outing with the helmet. Little he could have done about the goal conceded.
Gusto - 4: Struggled badly against Doku. Crossing was poor throughout. Lost the ball cheaply late on when the situation called for pushing forward in search of the draw.
Fofana - 5: Missed a header towards goal. Otherwise relatively steady.
Colwill - 6: Impressive on the ball, breaking lines with his passing. Could perhaps have done more for the goal, though it must be said it was a brilliant goal from Semenyo.
Hato - 5: Caught napping a couple of times defensively, but the only defender willing to carry the ball forward and progress play.
Cucurella - 4.5: Got his decision-making consistently wrong. Could have done better to block Haalandβs assist for the goal.
James - 5 Not at his usual level, giving the ball away in dangerous areas. Did, however, register a key pass and win half his duels.
Caicedo - 6.5: Dominant in the duels. Youβd have liked to see more of an offensive contribution though.
Palmer - 5: Beat his man on a few occasions but had nothing tangible to show for the dribbles.
Fernandez - 6: A fighter, and an excellent distributor. One key pass, 100% dribble success rate, and a handful of clipped long balls to break the lines. Came close to scoring.
J.Pedro- 4: Spurned chances. Went looking for penalties rather than producing in the biggest moment.
SUBSTITUTES:
Neto - 5: Tried to take City defenders on in sprint duels but didnβt have much to offer overall.
Delap - N/A
Garnacho - N/A
Thoughts? π΅β¬οΈ
