He also gave Sanchez a 5. Despite him literally only having one touch in his 12 minutes...
Yeah saw that, he's absolutely clueless. Was just highlighting all of the ones he gave a higher rating to than City players.
 
Jamie Jackson gave the following ratings in The Guardian.

Walker 4
Kompany 5
Laporte 5
Zinchenko 5

Lukaku 6
Darmian 6
Smalling 6
Shaw 6
Lindelof 7
Pogba 7
Fred 7
Pereira 7
Rashford 7


It’s incredible how poor football knowledge is, if you hoof it up against a high line & the defender wins the contest they actually think the defence is a bag of nerves.

A defender shitting himself would actually drop deeper.
 
City go back top, winning at the swamp, and Sky's post match coverage was like an MUTV inquest. Hilariously funny.
Anything they can do to diminish the continuing achievement.

Tomorrow it will be back to the “Liverpool are three wins from the title” nonsense.
 
Daily Mail has a big piece on why David Silva should have got a red card for his two footed flying leap.

I liked this excerpt from F365's 16 conclusions...

That Oleksandr Zinchenko gets his first mention so late is perhaps the point. By far the least expensive member of this City side at just £1.7m – £6m Kompany and £20.3m Gundogan were next – remains one of the most understated, underrated cogs in this sensational machine.

He attempted as many passes into the opposition half as Pogba did overall (56). He had more touches (124) than Rashford (40), Lingard (36), Pereira (33), Anthony Martial (9) and Alexis Sanchez (1) combined. He made the most tackles (4) and most interceptions (4) of any player for either side.

The 22-year-old is also yet to feature in a single Premier League defeat since he joined in 2016. City have not even drawn when Zinchenko has played, winning on all 19 of his appearances, of which 17 were starts. His last league defeat was in May 2016 for FK Ufa in Russia’s top flight.

For a relative unknown signed for something of a pittance as an attacking midfielder, he has somehow become the most reliable left-back for one of the best clubs in Europe. He is their unsung hero.

Apparently still only good for a 5 out of 10 rating from our good friend Jamie Jackson...
