Lloris - 3. Poor.

Walker - 6. Best of the back 4 by some distance.
Dawson - 4. All over the place.
Kaboul - 4. Looked lethargic (lazy?)
Vert' - 4. Really looked like he couldn't be arsed at times. Worrying.

Sandro - 6. Tried his hardest to cover every angle.
Paulinho - 4. Poor game. For some reason we're not getting the best from him.

Lennon - 5.5. Looked lively, if only he had a decent final ball.
Holtby - 3. Was he playing?
Lamela - 5. Tried hard and should have scored.

Soldado - 4. No service, but on few occasions the ball came to him poor control let him down.

Subs:
Adebayor - 5.5. Gave us a bit more of a threat.
Dembele - 6. Best I've seen for a while (even if only 20 minutes)
Sig' - 5. One shot straight at the keeper, can't remember any other input.

Had to leave for work at 0-5 so will only rate for that first hour

Lloris - 4 - Can't say much more than what has been said.

Walker - 6 - He played decently in the game I watched, defending and attacking. Picked up a yellow stopping a quick free kick because Dawson turned his back on play. City were gonna play a quick one and open us up and Walker saw the need to take the booking.
Dawson - 3 - Over commited himself so many times allowing Aguero to skip past him. Hoofed the ball to Lennon of all people on multiple occasions when we were having good possession
Kaboul - 3 - Not sure he will ever get back to his best. Though he could've been better positioned for goal number three. Not sure he's comfortable playing on the left of a back two.
Vertonghen - 5 - He hates playing left back as he admits he's not quick enough to deal with the quick wingers.

Lennon - 6 - Best I have seen him play for a while. Did what was asked of him.
Sandro - 5 - Honestly thought he was gonna be sent off, but he played well considering.
Paulinho - 3 - Quickly becoming my biggest issue with this team. He never seems to know how little time he has on the ball and his first touch is really bad.
Holtby - 3 - Almost forgot to rate him, seems to not know his duties.
Lamela - 5 - Actually looked dangerous at times but he did let his man go to cross for the third goal. All part of learning your trade I guess.

Soldado - 4 - Can't say too much but I don't think he gets the service.

AVB - 2 - The starting selection looked strong but lets not kid ourselves. Lamela isn't a left winger and hasn't played there since his early days at River Plate. He also isn't that good at tracking back, so to have him up against Zabaleta a player known to maraud forward wasnt too bright. Holtby interchanging with Paulinho left us with a Holtby trying to defend in the box and getting it wrong. We were poor at the back and the defence lacked real protection yet we were getting through in midfield. To change to a 442 and expect better was short sighted. I know we changed it up after with Sig and Dembele but I didnt see this portion of the game however did note that they didnt score again. Presumably because this tightened us back up? (would actually like to know from someone who watched furher)
