Jamie Jackson’s Player Season Ratings — Do you agree?

[Middedon]

Nothing too outrageous but I'd adjust a lot of those by a point one way or the other. I also really despise how the 1-10 scale is effectively a 5-10 scale and predominately a 7-10 scale for most. Use the whole fucking scale with 5 being the median as it should be not 7.

My thought - the scale isn’t just us, it’s everyone. So if 5 is the league median, most of our players are going to above that.

Thought it would be interesting to take player season ratings from a publication that has been somewhat negative when it comes to City coverage and see if blues agree or disagree.

I’ve aggregated Jamie Jackson’s ratings (out of 10) below, with his supporting analysis as to why at the article linked below (I have included a direct link because I think it is generally positive and so actually want to drive engagement with it, as opposed to the recent hit job articles of Lieu and Wilson).

Ederson - 9
Ortega - 8
Walker - 9
Lewis - 7
Stones - 7
Akanji - 8
Dias - 8
Aké - 8
Gvardiol - 9
Gómez - 5
Rodri - 10
Kovacic - 8
Nunes - 6
Phillips - 4
De Bruyne - 9
Bernardo - 9
Grealish - 7
Foden - 10
Bobb - 7
Álvarez - 9
Doku - 9
Haaland - 10

Well…he’s shown how much he watches us I guess…

I think he is more or less spot on. I would just raise Ake by 1 that’s it.

 

[cleavers]

Seem a bit high to me if anything.

Ridiculously high for me, the Haaland 10 is laughable.

Ederson - 8
Ortega - 8
Walker - 8
Lewis - 7
Stones - 7
Akanji - 8
Dias - 8
Aké - 8
Gvardiol - 8

We've let in too many goals (some daft ones) for any defender to get above 8.
Gómez - 6
Rodri - 10
Kovacic - 8
Nunes - 5
Phillips - 3 (not sure why he's even in the last)
De Bruyne - 7
Bernardo - 8
Grealish - 7
Foden - 10
Bobb - 8
Álvarez - 7
Doku - 7
Haaland - 7 (missed too many sitters for me)

Would you consider our defence this season to be worse than last season?

 

[SebastianBlue]

It’s funny how we’re being more harsh than The Guardian.

We’re awesome. Let’s take the end of the season inflation.

If our players aren’t getting an end of season 8/9/10, who should?!?

Leave it to our fans to argue that The Guardian are being too generous with their assessment of our players in a historic title winning season! ;-)

 

[cleavers]

Would you consider our defence this season to be worse than last season?

Very slightly, yes.

 

[manimanc]

Jamie Jackson?

Is he the one that looks like he should be on the register?

 

[Eccles Blue]

Please excuse the interruption in the thread. Thank you. :-)

Eccles Blue’s players season rating:

Every single player gets a 9.
None get a ten because then they’ll have nothing to strive for next season.

Thank you. As you were. :-) ;-)

 

[SebastianBlue]

Very slightly, yes.

‘One more goal conceded’ slightly?
