VERY SAD Manuel Akanji NEWS has been announced this evening after Thier Clash with Huddersfield in the FA Cup
Ortega: When called upon, he made excellent saves, and his distribution was adequate. 7.
In his brief time on the pitch, Akanji was one of City’s best players. He moved up the right side and sent a lovely cross-field pass for Grealish. 7.
Dias: Ortega fixed a couple too many mistakes that he still made, but he can still celebrate the clean sheet. Six
Gvardiol: In his infrequent appearance in the midfield, he was more confident and assisted Gomez in providing coverage on the left. 7.
Gomez: Half up the left wing and playing a hybrid role, he got engaged in the opposition box even though some of his passing wasn’t as soft as it needed to be. 7.
Kovacic: Managing the midfield and breaking lines to make crucial passes, it was one of his best games in a long time. 8
Lewis: Seemingly out of control in the opposition box, he transitioned to a more defensive stance after Akanji was substituted. 7.
Foden: Another commanding performance in which he established the initiative and did not relinquish it, cementing it with two goals. 9.
Bobb: shaky in the first half but a lot better after the interval, pressing his opponent and opening up play. 7.
Grealish: Carried the ball into the area to demonstrate early purpose, but remained silent and left early. Six
Alvarez: With another goal and an assist, Guardiola should have no trouble starting Alvarez at Newcastle in the event that Haaland is unable to play. 7.
Replaces Noses (instead of Akanji, 18) Still causes a little too much chaos when City tries to take control, but as the game went on, he became more composed. Six
De Bruyne (for Alvarez, 57) set up Doku and was quickly involved in the game. This season, he has two assists. 7.
Doku (number 57 in Grealish) The supporters welcomed him back and he handled his goal rather nicely. 7.
Hamilton (76) (for Foden) Not a nervous moment on his debut at the Etihad. Six
Wright (page 76, for Kovacic) Guardiola clapped him onto the pitch for another City debut, and he held his own on the right. Six
Ederson, Walker, Ake, and Rodri were not used.
Manchester City defeated Huddersfield Town 5-0 to secure their spot in the FA Cup’s fourth round.
Despite starting the match as overwhelming favourites over Championship opponents, Pep Guardiola’s team had to fight hard in the first half before Phil Foden broke the tie. A few minutes later, Julian Alvarez turned in, and the FA Cup holders were in complete control.
The Etihad audience welcomed both Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku back from injury, and the two of them combined to score the sixth goal in the second half. These are the ratings that the gamers gave the game.
