Sorenson - 9 - excellent. Only criticism is that he could have saved the goal - well he got to everything else Wilson - 7 - very good defensive performance. Offered little going forwards. Wilko - 7.5 - defensively solid. Some good runs forwards. Huth - 7 - not fit and struggled. Shawcross - 7 - Played well but their movement caused all types of problems. Whealan - 7 - used the ball well but not up to his recent standards. Delap - 5 - very poor - couldn't pass and never looked 'at the races' Penant - 8.5 - ran all day - our only attacking option. Shame Man City systematically took him out. Even more of a shame the ref let them. Matty - 5.5 - just not fit. Never took on his man. Pitty people will remember this performance. Walters - 6 - again not up to his recent form. Never linked with Kenwyne. Kenwyn - 6 - one great chance but the Man City defense bossed him today. Subs. Deano - 6 - didn't get into the game. Curew - 6.5 - his physical presence showed what lacked, but the one chance he created he delayed too long and it went. Pugh - 6 - not on long enough. Apologies if these are slightly off - was up in the gods today. Special mention to Martin Atkinson who I thought had a great game. Sorry I meant, had a great game...if I was a Man City fan. He gave them everything and ignored numerous bookings for them (Huth got booked for his first foul - maybe even our first foul). Played an additional 2 minutes at the end of the first half - even allowing for Penants injury while Man City attacked - and what do you know - blew as soon as we got the ball. He couldn't do enough for some.

Sorensen - 9 - Just for that save. Wilson - 6.5 - Did alright. Shawcross - 7 - Did well. Huth - 7 - Not his best, but was pretty good. Wilkinson - 6 - He and Pennant got in too much of a mess defensively at times, we were all over the shop on our right flank. Pennant - 8 - Never stopped going, despite the constant fouling. Our only attacking threat at times. Delap - 6 - Not his best game, but he deserves a lot of credit for preventing what seemed a certain Man City goal, where Tevez broke away from a set-piece with Wilkinson and Whelan both chasing after him, leaving da Silva free in the middle. Delap made up about half the length of the pitch to slow up da Silva and hold up the attack. Whelan - 7 - Imposed himself a bit better in the second half after a poor first half. Etherington - 6 - Not at the races, not fit. Bad luck. Walters - 6 - Couldn't get him into the game at all, he was well played by Man City. Jones - 6 - Had a good battle with Lescott, but just couldn't link up with Walters or the wingers.
Whitehead - 6 - Put some energy into the midfield, but made no real difference. Carew - 6 - Had a damn good chance to do something but over-ran it. Pugh - 6 - Not sure he touched the ball.

Sorensen 9 - One of his best performances for us Wilkinson 7 - Committed as ever and some good tackles Huth 6.5 - Struggled with injury but still did a decent job Shawcross 7 - Played quite well Wilson 6.5 - Wasn't great, wasn't awful Pennant 8.5 - Carried on going despite them kicking the crap out of him, our main outlet Whelan 7 - Always going to be tough against Toure and De Jong but did quite well Delap 6 - One of his worst games for a while imo, looked very tired Etherington 6.5 - Tried his best but obviously not fit Jones 7 - Some good moments but dominated by Kompany and Lescott Walters 6.5 - Worked his socks off as per but didn't come off for him today
Subs: Pugh 6 - Not enough time to have an impact Whitehead 6.5 - Didn't really notice him that much Carew 6.5 - Showed signs of a threat, but completely missed on header and also should've passed to Walters when he ran and lost it

Sorro-9-class saves Wilko-7-I thought he was ok Shawcross-7-same Huth-7-same Wilson-7-same Pennant-7.5-great running, fouled to buggery but his set piece delivery was shocking Delap-4-poor in the middle and then shocking on the left Whelan-5-pretty anonymous Ethers-5-clearly not fit Jones-6-should have scored, didn't work half as 'ard as he has done in recent works though Walters-6-worked hard but just nipped in the bud easily
Whitehead-5-anonymous Pugh-5-did he touch the ball? Fairer to be a N/A probably Carew-5-I still have "pass the fucking ball Jon" in my head.

Sorensen - 9. Fantastic 2-3 saves that kept us in the game.
Wilson - 6. Found coping with both Richards and Silva too much. Huth - 6. Got given the run-around all game by Tevez. Shawcross 6. See Huth Wilkinson - 8. Three brilliant challenges to win back the much needed possession
Pennant 8. - Ran all game. Looked to be our only way of scoring Whelan - 5. Ineffective first half, got taken off as he was coming into the game. Delap - 5. Throw ins were ineffective, offered nothing/very little in midfield Etherington - 5. Not fit
Jones - 5. Got beaten in the air all game by dominant Lescott and Kompany Walters - 6. Worked hard, nothing really came off for him though.
Carew - 7. Looked a handful for 15 minutes Pugh - N/A Whitehead - N/A

Sörensen 10 - saved us several times, but that's a keeper's job on the other hand Wilson 9 - one of our absolutely best players lately Shawcross 8 - solid today, I'm proud of him Huth 7 - maybe he shouldn't have played, bad knee Wilkinson 8 - great in defence as always Etherington 6 - wasn't at his best, hamstring injured again Whelan 7 - he as ok, solid Delap 5 - he didn't even work hard Pennant 9 - tried and tried, rest that foot now Walters - 5.5 - where was he? Jones 9 - one of the best, ooh how I wished he scored there...
Whitehead - 6.5 at least he tried Pugh - 6 hard to tell Carew - 5.5 not much to see and say.

Sorro 9 Wilko 7 Huth 7 (was quite obv injured!) Shawx 8 Wils 7 JP 7 Rory 6 Glenn 7 Ethers 5 (again was not fit) SuperJohn 5 Jonesy 6
Subs - Deano 7 Pughy 6 Carew 5 - Pass you fool!
Defence were excellent overall as they were up against it for large periods Midfield was overrun and outpassed, and couldn't hold the ball up Attack was non existant against a very good Kompany and Lescott - Ken should have scored though and it may have turned out differently!
