Dominic Solanke - Heavily marked in loss to CitySolanke registered three shots (one on goal) and created two chances in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester City.

ImpactSolanke was not at his most threatening Saturday. City realized that the in-form striker was their major threat and assigned Ruben Dias to aggressively mark him. He did manage to place a header on target when he got the better of Nathan Ake from a corner cross to force a goalline save from Ederson. The Cherries number nine has scored twice and created two assists from the last five outings.

Neto - Five saves in loss to CityNeto made five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester City.

ImpactNeto played well Saturday in a challenging fixture against Manchester City. He made five saves that included stopping a point blank shot from Erling Haaland. He was unlucky to concede the games only goal, he saved a Haaland effort but it was not enough to prevent Phil Foden from poking the rebound into the net. It has been eight games since the Brazilian last produced a clean sheet, but he has a chance to improve on that in the Cherries next EPL clash against Burnley. The Clarets have not scored in two of their last three games and have lost four of their last five.

Milos Kerkez - On goal strike in loss to CityKerkez had three shots (one on goal), one cross (not accurate) and created a chance in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Manchester City.

ImpactKerkez demonstrated Saturday that he is a defender who can potentially get on the scoresheet. He was effective in his defensive duties, containing Bernardo Silva on City's attacking right flank, and produced one of Bournemouth's closest goal scoring opportunities when a swerving shot from outside the area took an acrobatic effort from Ederson to save. He also placed a goal bound strike that was blocked by penalty box traffic. He was subbed after 88 minutes. The Hungarian international has contributed to two clean sheets from his last six EPL appearances.

Ryan Christie - On goal effort in loss to CityChristie generated one shot (on goal), one cross (not accurate) and created two in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Manchester City.

ImpactChristie contributed in his usual role as Bournemouth's key midfield steward Saturday. He was heavily involved in challenges and made a material difference to both the Cherries defensive and attacking plays. He placed one of the four on goal efforts his team managed, a well taken strike from the edge of the box that tested Ederson. He was subbed after 88 minutes. Despite his high work rate it has been 12 EPL games since he last contributed an assist.

Kevin De Bruyne - Makes cameo appearance from benchDe Bruyne registered one cross (not accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 win over AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 96th minute.

ImpactDe Bruyne made a brief appearance Saturday from the bench after 84 minutes, replacing Mateo Kovacic. The Belgian is being eased back into action following a recurring hamstring injury which has kept him out for most of the season. He looked lively and hopefully is now set to retake his usual starting position with the team.

Phil Foden - Scores in outstanding performanceFoden placed four shots, scoring with one of the three that were on goal. He also executed five crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-0 victory over AFC Bournemou...

ImpactFoden was outstanding Saturday. He made searching runs from midfield to create opportunities, linking up well with strike partner Erling Haaland, and was always dangerous when in range of goal. He contributed three of City's six on goal efforts, finding the net with one of them when a Haaland shot was parried away by Neto into his path. The attacking midfielder is in his prime, he has scored nine from his last 13 games and has established himself as a regular starter.

Antoine Semenyo - Key playmaker in loss to CitySemenyo generated three crosses (one accurate) and two chances in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Manchester City.

ImpactSemenyo created most of Bournemouth's better plays Saturday through his searching runs forward and well timed passes, but his teammates were unable to capitalize on them. The Ghanaian international has pace and is physical when on the ball but he needs to convert more of that effort into an effective end product. He scored in the Cherries last game but that was his first in 10 EPL appearances.
