2016/17 player ratings

[Charlesfarsbar]

Could find a thread for this so I'd thought I would start one..

Bravo 3 - woeful and that's being kind , if a keepers job was to play as an auxiliary defender who offers an easy ball he would be great. Unfortunately he can't save any kind of decent shot that's on target , which is a problem. Can't believe he's getting another year but he must be better than he showed us :-/

Cabalero 6 - Ok when called upon , can actually makes saves and is more than decent with his feet. Sorry to see him go as he seems like a good bloke

Zabba 5 - his best days are a distant memory, club legend though
Sagna 5 - see Zabba but without the legend bit

Clichy 5 - had some ok games but many that cost us points , he's not that old and still has pace , perhaps he just can't be arsed playing for a top club anymore , decent bloke so I wish him well

Kolarov - 5 awful at left back but ok as a centre back , but only as fourth choice. Will get a swan song season next year , will be interesting to see how his send off goes.

Stones 6 - obviously a rolls Royce of a player but needs to learn the art of defending. Will come good next to a decent partner who can lead i.e. Not otamendi

Otamendi 6 - shite next to stones but canavaro esque next to Kompany , needs to play next to someone who tells him what to do. We should sell him if we can get someone who doesn't need a partner to hold his hand

Kompany 7 - showed what we missed when he came back , still the best defender at the club. We looked so much better defending the counter attack with him in the side. Pray he stays fit next season

Yaya 7 - brilliant on his day and still very good against the bus parking teams. Not so clever against the top six sides anymore but still a good squad player

Fernandinho 6 - his powers are fading , he plays well in phases over the season and started really well.
Offers good aggression and bite in midfield

Gundogan 6 - not fit for long enough to get a handle on how good he could be. Looks a goal threat when played in the eight position , but we might need to deploy him further back next season if we don't buy a new cm

Silva 8 - genius player and a joy to watch , love you Dave

De Bruyne 7 - the definition of a MOTD player in that he doesn't run games like silva but is so effective and decisive with goals and assists . I think he was learning a new position in Peps system which means we possibly didn't see the best of him . Looking forward to what he's like next season as he's a brilliant player

aguero 7.5 - goals galore but was average for quite a lot of the season. Towards the end it looked like he was getting what pep was asking of him . Could get 40 goals next season if he stays fit

Sterling 7 - great for the first half of the season, inconsistent since then. He will need to keep improving to keep his first pick squad status

Sane 7 - looks to be a level above sterling in most aspects , could be a potential world class player if he builds on his great start. Difficult second season will hopefully not apply

Bravo 4
Only for his part in helping to teach us play out from the back, which he has been world class at. Otherwise, really shite season
Willy 7
Done a great job
Sagna 6
Not seen enough of him imo
Zaba 6
Has done okay when called upon
Kompany 7
Brilliant when fit.
Stones 6
Highs and lows, but promising first season.
Otamendi 6
Brilliant at times, braindead on occasion.
Kolarov 6
Great at CB, shite at LB
Clichy 4
Been brilliant but this was 1 year too far. Shocking
Fernando 6
Hasnt had much of a role, and has been okay when called upon.
Fernandinho 7
Nowhere near his best, but still class
Delph 6
See fernando
Toure 8
The comeback king
Gundogan 7
Was quality when fit
Silva 9
The magician. This wasn't even his best season, which is frightening, cos he is still far and away our most consistent, important and talented player.
De Bruyne 7
His assists are not to be sniffed at, but he needs to score a lot more, even from deeper. See yaya toure 2014; i have no doubt that kevin is capable.
Navas 6
Done a job, done it okay. Tireless and somewhat underrated
Nolito 5
So much early promise, but hasnt done enough
Sane 8
Took a while, but is reaching fake ronaldo at united levels already
Sterling 8
Compared to last season, mind boggling. Deserves real praise. Was our standout 1st half of the season
Kelechi 6
Guarantees a few goals, but hasnt really played a huge part, especially after Jesus, and you can see why.
Aguero 8
His best ever season for goals, yet he still should have had about 50. Suspensions also count against him. Only reason he is getting an 8 is cos he has worked his bollocks off recently
Jesus 8
Ballon d'or potential. Clinical

Pep 6.5
Im gonna allow him a half mark :-)

 

[RayCTID]

Bravo 6(not the greatest of debut seasons, and signing Ederson is the right decision but he was a late arriving)
Willy 7(stepped up his game during the season but the Arsenal away game exposed a few weaknesses)
Sagna 6(a decent season but age is against him and we need a different type of full-back)
Zaba 6 (an absolute legend but the time is right for a change)
Clichy 6 (struggled but he did have a few good games under Pep)
Kolarov 6.5(has adapted to a new position is still a decent option to have in the squad)
Kompany 7.5(injuries are still a concern, he did finish the season strongly and we missed his leadership qualities)
Otamendi 6.5(irrational at times but did have good games and alongside our experienced defender did form a decent partnership)
Stones 6.5 ( at time he has struggled to adapt but there is quality)
Yaya 7.5 (looked slimmer and more motivated and still can a significant part in the team)
Silva 9 (player of the season)
Gundogan 7(looked the business up until the season ending injury, hopefully he can play a major part next season along with the rest of our midfielders)
Delph 6.5( proved to be a decent squad player but too injury prone to be fully relied upon)
Fernando 6.5(another decent squad player but too limited to start)
Fernandinho 7( it wasn't his best season but still showed what he is capable could be valuable cover for the RB position)
Garcia 6 (still finding his feet in the first team)
Navas 6.5(proved good cover in both as a winger and as RB)
De Bruyne 7.5(an inconsistent one by Kev's standards but still was one of most creative players)
Sane 7.5 (took time to fully bed, and there is still parts of his game needs improving on but he does look like the real deal)
Sterling 8(started off in very strongly but faded in the end)
Aguero 7.5(a mixed season but his the end of season form has shown that he has finally taken fully on board what Pep expects and he is still one of our key players)
Jesus 7.5(slotted in the team straight away and has shown that he can provide the healthy competition with Serge as well as working together)
Kelechi 6 (he is a very good striker to have around but it hasn't clicked under Pep)
Nolito 6 (started off looking like a very useful player to have but the sending off against Bournemouth had probably killed off his chances at City)
