Rotten Rodri sees red as shambolic City embarrassed by Bodo

Goalkeeper & Defence

Gianluigi Donnarumma (6/10):

Had a tough evening after his brilliant display at Old Trafford, letting Hogh's header slip through his legs and then not making himself big enough to stop the striker's second. He did prevent things getting worse with an impressive save with his legs in the second half and in added time.

Rayan Ait-Nouri (4/10):

Struggled in the unfamiliar role of right-back. Didn't get back in time for the second goal while he engaged in ball-watching for the first when he should have been keeping track of Hogh.

Abdukodir Khusanov (5/10):

Looked powerless to stop City's waves of attacks even though he was far from the biggest culprit.

Max Alleyne (3/10):

His inexperience has shown badly in the last two games after a promising start to his return from loan at Watford. At fault for the first two goals and also missed a good chance with a header from a corner.

Nico O'Reilly (5/10):

The first two goals came from down his left side although he was actually City's most competent defender. Showed silky skills to set up Cherki's strike.

Midfield

Rico Lewis (5/10):

Started in midfield after getting torn apart by United's forwards at right-back and he didn't do much better, giving City little control.

Rodri (3/10):

One of his worst performances for City, coming after another stinker at Old Trafford. Kept giving the ball away, including in the build-up to Bodo's third goal, and compounded a bad situation with his reckless behaviour leading to the red card.

Tijjani Reijnders (5/10):

This was a game where City really missed Bernardo Silva as the Dutchman offered none of the security of the captain. He came close to scoring when he fired just wide of the near post.

Attack

Rayan Cherki (6/10):

Was responsible for the few bright moments City conjured including their goal.

Erling Haaland (4/10):

A dreadful return to his homeland for a player who is suffering one of his worst spells in his City career. Air-kicked a clear opportunity in the first half and then missed the target with a decent effort before blazing over a third chance later on.

Phil Foden (5/10):

Couldn't connect with his fellow attackers or give City any control in the middle.

Subs & Manager

Omar Marmoush (5/10):

Gave City a bit of an outlet down the left but it was too little too late and they were a man down.

Pep Guardiola (4/10):

Another poor day for the coach from a tactical point of view as he again set his team up to fail with a high defensive line against an infamously quick opponent. Made four changes from the derby but somehow kept faith in Foden and Rodri while playing Ait-Nouri on the right went horribly wrong.
