City v QPR player ratings

After a dismal first half, new-look QPR made a fight of it at Manchester City before going down 3-1. Here’s how we rated Rangers’ players.

Rob Green: 5
Produced a couple of instinctive saves but still very shaky and transmits that uncertainty to his defenders.

Jose Bosingwa: 6
Good on the ball and did nothing particularly wrong.

Anton Ferdinand: 5
Unconvincing and faces a real threat to his first-team place with the arrival of Stephane Mbia.

Ryan Nelsen: 6
Solid and a good organiser. Missed two good chances to make it 2-2 though.

Fabio: 6
Struggled in the first half with City, having clearly identified the on-loan full-back as a potential weak link, targeting him at every opportunity. Did better after the break.

Shaun Wright-Phillips: 5
Tried hard against his former club but struggled to make an impact.

Alejandro Faurlin: 6
A welcome return for Rangers and produced some good work at times, but City were dominant in midfield.

Esteban Granero: 7
Looked a class act on his debut – even when Rangers were being totally overrun. A real threat from set-pieces and showed a lovely range of passing.

Ji-sung Park: 6
Poor in the first half but improved as the game went on and produced a couple of vintage bursts down the flank.

Andrew Johnson: 7
Did well. Looked dangerous on the counter attack for Rangers and played a key part in their goal.

Bobby Zamora: 7
Worked hard in the second half and was also an important presence in the air when Rangers were defending set-pieces. Three goals in as many games now for the striker.

Nedum Onuoha: 6
Did quite well after coming on. Much better in the centre of defence than at full-back.

Kieron Dyer: 6
Showed glimpses of why, if he can stay fit, he could be a useful option for the R’s this season.
