Leicester 2 Manchester City 1 Player Ratings
By David Crook
Man City Square consider the player performances in the Manchester City defeat away to Leicester on Boxing Day.
Ederson
This was a subdued performance from our keeper who made little impact on either shot he conceded. Distribution and organisation of the defence was not as crisp as usual.
Player Rating 6
Danilo
First game back and a little rusty but made some useful interceptions.
Player Rating 6
John Stones
Nothing like the imperious defender of earlier in the year. Effected by a curious malaise which even culminated in a yellow card which was needlessly given away.

Aymeric Laporte
Our best defender is beginning to look overwhelmed by the poor play around him.
Player Rating 7
Fabian Delph
An annoying performance. He has played so much better than this. Today he made any remote chance of a comeback disappear.
Player Rating 4
Ilkay Gundogan
Comfortable but not efficient. A poor covering role by Ilkay who can do so much more.
Player Rating 6
Bernardo Silva
Giving the ball away far too often. The slackness is infecting others and although he took the goal well, he made little other impact.
Player Rating 6
Kevin De Bruyne
Way off his best. Passes went astray. Nullified easily throughout.
Player Rating 6
Leroy Sane
Busy and keen, but received little service. Once David Silva came on he looked more dangerous.
Player Rating 7
Sergio Aguero
A shadow of himself. Coming deep and fluffing his chances.
Player Rating 6
Raheem Sterling
Has not delivered since signing his new contract. Easily marked out of the game today.
Player Rating 5
Substitutes
David Silva
Flashes of his usual brilliance but clearly needs time to get back to his best.
Player Rating 6
Riyad Mahrez
He came on and Delph was off so his lack if impact may have been understandable.

Man City Square Man of the Match
No great performances today. Laporte though probably best represents our ability to eke out a performance even when under pressure.
