Group Soccer Editor Paddy davitt has registered its marks after the 2-2 draw of the Canary Islands Championship against Preston.
Here’s Paddy’s verdict on Daniel Farke’s men, who did it the hard way to earn a point against a crafty Preston.
• Tim Krul
No heroic penalties this time to deny Scott Sinclair. Some safe driving when Preston stormed the counter in second period. 6
• Max Aarons
Far from the ideal construction against the backdrop of Barcelona. But he really led the fight into the beginning of the second period with two fighters. Cross was eventually finished by Przemyslaw Placheta. 7
• Christoph Zimmermann
Strangely hesitant at all times. Sean Maguire seemed to unsettle him in physical skirmishes. The work in possession was also worn out. 5
• Ben Godfrey
He deserved a better result from his goal blocking to initially frustrate Sinclair. 6
• Xavi Quintilla
Magnificent whip on the ball Teemu Pukki passed in front of Declan Rudd. 7
• Kenny McLean
I failed to assimilate Preston’s Tigers midfield operators. Alan Browne led City’s central midfielder pair. 5
• Oliver Skipp
Very naive to put his hands on Ben Davies’ back inside his own box to award a penalty. Then let Sinclair run behind for the second goal. 5
• Kieran Dowell
Hurt almost in the first seconds. It cannot continue thereafter. He left the ground on crutches. She is anxiously waiting to discover the extent of the possible injury to her left ankle. 4
• Todd Cantwell
Always looking for work in congested areas. But it has the quality of being more influential. 6
• Onel Hernandez
Good fight with Darnell Fisher. The best work came in the first period, but not as prominent as Huddersfield. 6
• Teemu Pukki
He came up again from Huddersfield. An excellent move brought him a rare header goal to open his account for the new season. Then, twice frustrated by Rudd, the injury time savings was the best drawer. 8
Substitutes for the city
• Przemyslaw Placheta (for Dowell, 24) 7
Horrible fails but showed his character to respond with a first City goal. He cut on the first attempt but showed great composure to control and finish off the rebound.
• Adam Idah (by Hernandez, 63) 7
With the game adrift, he fueled the City’s attack efforts. Deflection coup prepared Placheta’s opportunity. He then triggered the stoppage time movement that saw Pukki denied by Rudd.
• Jordan Hugill (for Cantwell, 89) n / a
