# Player Ratings: Manchester United 0-0 Manchester City

Never sure how to feel about a point in a derby but it leaves us top of the table and comfortable going into the next few games. I felt we went for the point quite early into the second half which is unlike us.

Manchester City player ratings here:

**Hart:** Had a solid game. Came off his line well and made a great save from Smalling’s low-effort late on: 7.

**Sagna:** Felt Martial gave him a tough time but he wasn’t overly exposed. Passed well and was fairly solid: 6.

**Vincent Kompany**: Proper captain’s performance, great to see him back. Won everything in the air, tackled well, won every physical battle and added much stability to our back-line: 7.

**Nicolás Otamendi:** Best performance in a City shirt thus far. Fair to say he bossed Rooney and made some vital interceptions throughout. Along with Kompany he was dominant in the air and they deserved their clean-sheet: 8.

**Aleksandar Kolarov:** Valencia got the better of him in the first half but he had an average game. Didn’t get forward enough: 5

**Fernandinho:** Quality, was all over the park and covered so much ground. Tackled well and burst us forward for attacks. Shame no one had the same fight: 6.5

**Fernando:** Was fairly anonymous but didn’t do anything wrong as such. Added stability to a usually shaky midfield: 6

**Raheem Sterling:** Poor game. Had a good chance in the first half and got into good positions but never looked like he was going to be decisive: 5.

**Yaya Touré:** Wasn’t his usual explosive self when in the hole behind the striker, but goals and assists talk and he didn’t get either: 6.

**Kevin De Bruyne:** Worst game in a City shirt to date. Passing was atrocious and didn’t get in the game at all: 5.

**Wilfried Bony:** Some nice hold up play but doesn’t release the ball quickly enough. Didn’t seem to win much in the air either and his movement was limited. Needs to improve: 5.5

SUBS:

**Jesus Navas:** Didn’t give us what we needed- which was meaningful width and penetration: 5.5

**Martin Demichelis:** Closed the game down and got us that point: N/A

**Kelechi Iheanacho:** No impact: N/A
