Man City starting XI:

Gianluigi Donnarumma:Another game without a clean sheet, another three conceded. Aerially suspect too. Not having a good season.4

Abdukodir Khusanov:Seems awkward when shunted out to the right, before being moved back inside.4

Ruben Dias:A desperate lunge to try to block Liam Delap's goal summed up his - and his side's - poor display.4

Marc Guehi: Part of a City defence that were all over the place in the first half before being hooked at half-time.4

Josko Gvardiol:Not in great form at the moment. Soft on the ball early on when he had his pocket picked by Jair Cunha forNottingham Forest'sopener and was also substituted.4

Elliot Anderson:Made an unhappy return to the City Ground where he lost the midfield battle.5

Enzo Fernandez:A really disappointing performance. Should have pulled a goal back but sent his header from close range over. Midfield seems to lack in balance with him and Anderson in the side.5

Jeremy Doku:Got no change out of Daniel Munoz and produced very little.5

Iliman Ndiaye:Missed interception led to Forest's second goal and did not contribute much in attack. Not his best game.5

Rayan Cherki:Pulled a goal back for City with a stunning finish in the second half.6

Erling Haaland:Had some chances but not his best showing in front of goal.5

Man City substitutes:

Matheus Nunes (on 45, Guehi):Failed to put a foot in on Delap for Forest's third.5

Nico O'Reilly (on 45, Gvardiol):With Gvardiol shaky, will the Englishman be given a run of games in the side?6

Phil Foden (on 76, Fernandez) 6

Subs not used:

Geronimo Rulli, Mateo Kovacic, Vitor Reis, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Allan, Rico Lewis.
