Man City player ratings vs Crystal Palace as Joao Cancelo and Rodri slump in poor showing

Ederson No real saves to make and he was inches away with pass of the match to Mahrez - 6

Kyle Walker Worrying error in first half, but gave Zaha little encouragement until he moved inside - 6

John Stones Probably wouldn't have played if Dias was fit, but he was City's best defender - 7

Aymeric Laporte Reprised his wobble that handed Zaha a goal at the Etihad, but was excellent in second half - 6

Joao Cancelo Struck the post with a ferocious shot but his passing was as off-colour as he was last week when struck by a bug - 4

Rodri Had a firm grip on midfield but could do nothing with it - lacked creativity and inspiration - 4

Bernardo Silva Will be wondering for days why he took a touch rather than shooting when he had a golden chance - 4

Kevin De Bruyne Hit the post and was the only City player with any drive or fresh ideas - 7

Riyad Mahrez Picked the wrong night for his lethal shooting ability to desert him - 5

Phil Foden Barely got into the game - and when he did, he was livelier than most - 5

Jack Grealish Peripheral and ineffective in the first half, teed up De Bruyne and Bernardo in a more productive second - 5

SubsNot used: Steffen, Carson, Ake, Sterling, Gundogan, Jesus, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Mbete
