Man City player ratings vs Lyon as Fernandinho, Sterling, Ederson and Laporte have nightmares

Ederson

Caught high for Cornet's goal, and his effort for the third goal was poor 4

Fernandinho

Did not look comfortable in a back three, his composure was poor and pace lacking. Hooked. 4

Eric Garcia

Surprise selection and he was the best of City's back three, unruffled and unlucky for opening goal 6

Aymeric Laporte

Looked nervous in the three-man defence and crumbled for the second goal. 4

Kyle Walker

Caught between two stools in first half - no attack threat, defensively absent - nervous passing too. 5

Rodri

Couldn't get any kind of grip on Lyon's breaking players and was no real authority in middle 5

Ilkay Gundogan

City rely on him to thread it all together but he was lost in the new formation and only marginally better after the switch 5

Joao Cancelo

City's best attacking option, opening up that left flank and getting Sterling in dangerous positions. 7

Kevin De Bruyne

Much better after the switch to a normal formation, scoring what looked a vital goal. 6

Raheem Sterling

All season we have talked about his transition to a goalscorer - then he misses an absolute sitter 4

Gabriel Jesus

Anonymous for long spells but improved and his work to tee up Sterling was terrific. 5

Subs

Riyad Mahrez

(for Fernandinho 55) no difference 5

David Silva

(for Rodri 84) no time

Not used: Bravo, Stones, Zinchenko, Bernardo, Mendy, Otamendi,
