Manchester City 2 Liverpool Player Ratings
By David Crook
Man City Square reviews the player performances in the Manchester City win against Liverpool in the Premier League and tries hard to select a single Man of the Match
Ederson
Good performance by the best Brazilian goal keeper on the pitch today. Assured in his distribution and made some fine stops when called upon.
Player Rating 9
Danilo
Looking better with each game. This was his best performance in a City shirt. He was more defensively minded than Walker would would have been.
Player Rating 9
John Stones
Good solid display. One game saving goal line clearance too.
Player Rating 9

Vincent Kompany
Great performance by our club captain who flattened Salah and then insulted him too. Genius.
Player Rating 9
Aymeric Laporte
Played out of position in a master stroke by Pep which completely nullified Salah on the right wing. Looking like an absolute snip last January.
Player Rating 10
Fernandinho
This was probably a master class. He delivered a pitch perfect performance of sustained quality which was so good I can not think of another display which I have ever seen in defensive midfield which has come close.
Player Rating 10
Bernardo Silva
He ran and harried, turned the play and covered across and up and down the pitch. Covered some 13 km tonight in an incredible display. Even won headers against Virgil Van Dyke.
Player Rating 10
David Silva
Measured record appearance by Silva. He slinked around, seldom losing the ball and covering the left hand side. It was a shame we saw little of the link up play we have come to expect when he starts alongside Sane.
Player Rating 9
Leroy Sane
Worked hard throughout. Caught out for the equaliser but took his chance brilliantly.
Player Rating 9
Sergio Aguero
Great number 9 display from the best striker in the league. Quite how he scored his goal I do not know.
Player Rating 9
Raheem Sterling
Kept Robertson occupied for most of the game. Had a chance or two to make the result safe which he wasted.
Player Rating 9
Substitutes
Ilkay Gundogan
Came on for Silva and did not cause any noticeable drop in our performance levels.
Player Rating 8
Nicolas Otamendi
Hardly enough time to register.
Player Rating 7
Kyle Walker
Barely on the pitch long enough to make any impact.

Man City Square Man of the Match
There were several brilliant Manchester City performances today and it has been difficult to select, but I am going for the master class defensive midfielder.
