Manchester City Player Ratings Against Middlesbrough: This Spaniard Unusually The Best Player

FERNANDINHO-7.5/10

Always available to receive the ball. Sprayed the ball around handsomely in the first half but tiredness caught on and he made a couple of poor passes after that.

fernandinho-1-getty

GUNDOGAN-6.5/10

Tiredness was a factor in his off-colour showing. Did a couple of neat tricks and flicks but wasn’t his usual bright self. Taken off in the 74th minute.

SILVA-6.5/10

Short on creativity but was at it all game. Probing and prodding but it did not come off for Merlin.
