CM) Fernando (7) – Fernando was solid, neat in possession and covered ground well – but it is hard to see what he offers that Fernandinho does not.
CM) Yaya Toure (6.5) – One of Toure’s quieter games, with City doing their damage through the creativity of Nasri, Jovetic and Silva as opposed to the Ivorian’s midfield drive.
LM) David Silva (9) – A majestic performance by Silva, whose Liverpool could never pick up throughout the match – he simply glided into space and created for Jovetic and Dzeko.
