Man City player ratings vs Bayer Leverkusen: What were you thinking, Pep?! Guardiola pays the price for benching Erling Haaland & Co. in embarrassing Champions League loss

James Trafford (4/10):
Wasted an opportunity to show he is more reliable than Gianluigi Donnarumma. Only faced two shots and let them both in although neither was easy to save. Had a moment ofmadness when he came rushing out of area and didn’t let Stones know but escaped it unharmed.
Abdukodir Khusanov (5/10):
Brushed out of the way by Christian Kofane and then didn’t close down Grimaldo quick enough. Didn’t offer much going forward, not unexpectedly for a natural centre-back.
John Stones (6/10):
One of the few players who started who seemed to know what he was doing. Brought the ball forward well.
Nathan Ake (5/10):
Looked rusty in his first start club appearance in a month. Didn’t spot Schick lurking behind him when he headed in the second.
Rayan Ait-Nouri (4/10):
Looked on a different page to his team-mates, lacking awareness defensively or creativity going forward. Predictably taken off at half-time.
