De Bruyne, 7 - Tailed off but sublime. One of the few who was out for a long period with a genuinely bad tackle
Fernandinho, 7 - Dependable and his appearances on the right were a revelation.
Aguero, 6 - Needs a proper partner or will be run into the ground. Likes to be the focal point, but being so has made us overly reliant and predictable.
Clichy, 6 - Strong season and has impressed domestically and in Europe. Arguably our most improved player.
Navas, 6 - Along with Fernandinho and Otamendi has battled consistently. Rightly criticized for end product but has often played good balls to players who won't gamble.
Hart, 5 - Consistent but needs pushed
Iheanacho, 5 - Great prospect but needs to work on possession and link up play.
Otamendi, 5 - Best central defender but needs a leader beside him
Sagna, 5 - Has played games but offered precious little going forward save at Watford.
Silva, 5 - Has looked understandably jaded yet still sparkled at times.
Toure, 5 - Still the best footballer at the club but looks lost without Nasri and Silva
Fernando, 4 - Looks better pressing with Fernandinho but not shown enough over the season to warrant higher.
Kolarov, 4 - Needs regular playing time or becomes disinterested.
Mangala, 4 - Too erratic and, given the level, prone to breathtaking mistakes.
Bony, 3 - Has not developed and needs to leave to rebuild his career.
Delph, 3 - Best performance was in the Real Madrid friendly which says it all.
Kompany, 3 - Like a Stradivarius: capable of something beautiful but now too much of a risk to take out of the case.
Nasri, 3 - We still cannot play real possession football unless he's available.
Sterling, 3 - Poor season. Everyone is hoping Pep can improve him, but improvement has to start from within.
Zabaleta, 3 - Carried us for years but now needs carried
Caballero, 2 - Great game in the final but nothing else really
Demichelis, 1 - Nothing to offer.
