Hart .... Class keeper and has been one of the best around. Looks to me like he has been carrying a few extra pounds and thus inhibits his ability to move his feet and get to low shots. Great team man but I honesty think there is better out there...my hart says keep him but if we want to become a better team he could be replaced.
Sagna... Massive improvement from him this season. Knowing Zabs was injured gave him the chance to play without a pressure that hindered him before. All round game is good, not seen him let us down often this season.
Kompany... Hmmm. Obvious legend and great all round king of the team but I have noticed a little difference in him and that may be down to injurys and coming back to soon with has damaged many a player over the years. Think he is trying to hard at time, needs his swag back, I'm sure it will come.
Otimendi... I've said it before and I will say it again. HE IS TO RASH, that how he plays and has always played, he knows no other way. Decent in the air for a small defender but not got the pace I would like to see in a world class defender, that or a better ability to read the game which he also does not posses.
Will cost us time after time, not for fault of trying I might add. Coaching may improve him, may not.
Mangala... This guy looked like the real deal when he first arrive. I was so excited thinking we had got a great player then all of a sudden it all changed, suffers lack of confidence and I feel like he is not one of the lads. Preferred to any other defender at present. Should be him and company till the end of the season. Being picked continuously might do his confidence some good.
Chichy... Not , like so many players these days, matured in the direction his career should have done. He has been playing in this league for a very long time now and should be a main player on and off the pitch. Never vocal and prone to looking like he has no picture of what to do in his head imo. Luckily he still has maintained his speed and has good recovery, if his speed ever goes he is done for.
Kolarov... Some people just get to comfortable and he is one of them. He attitude is one to be desired. I think he think the world revolves around him. Far to selfish although his performances at the beginging of the season were much improved, I actually thought he was class but consistency is what makes you great and I don't think he will ever be that. Only plays well when angery and has a point to prove.
Zaba... I have man love for this guy, real grown man love and he has been though a horrible time with injuries which coincided with Sagna playing the best he ever has for us. He know he is not first choice right now and it is affecting his game. Needs a long run of games but the truth is he will not get that at the moment. Could do with us having a good old fashioned reserve team for a run of high intensity games. He will be back next season for sure.
Yaya... Legend. Class. Imo best player I have ever seen at our club. Underrated and easy to pick on. Like all players has had a number of games where he was not performing and has a right knob of an agent but trust me guys if he leaves this season, which is a massive possibility, we will truly understand what an immense player he was for us. I think pep will know what he brings tho and keep him for at least 1 more season.
Fernando... Pfft. This guy imo is pants and does not even look like he knows how to play the game, often looks lost and I've never seen him once be vocal which is a must in the role we ask him to play. Is no NDJ and thats what he was meant to be. Needs replacing. I hope
he proves me wrong but I don't see it.
Fernadino... Had amazing start to the season. And looked like he was really enjoying his football, always smiling and it showed in his performances. Not world class by any stretch of imagination but ranks high in all necessary attributes.
Silva... This pains me to say it but the guy looks finished, not sure how you can play so poorly for so long. Dreadful passing, hurried and risky. Movements disappeared, looks like he has been on meth when the camera gives us a close up of him and I've not seen him smile for the longest time. Not sure if it's dues to his injures or some personal issue but if he does not turn it around soon then I'm afraid we may have seen the best of him and boy was he great.
KDB... I agree with many people that say he would look better in a more dynamic team, say Leicester or West Ham.
Done a great job in regards to goals and assists. Just need more time to get used to the club. Pep will improve his game massivly.
Sterling... Where do I start with the BOY?
I can not for the life of me understand why he can not stike a ball cleanly. I can not for the like of me understand why his crossing is so poor, 50 million. No way, I'm going to say it now. He will not improve. He has no football intelligence. I'm done here.
Nasri... Hurry up and come back..please. we need you.
Navas... This guy is slowly starting to grow on me. At one point I wanted him out faster that a fart but his work rate has won me over. He is one of our few players where we know what we will get. Always looks to take a man on on the outside which I like, Sterling could learn a lot from him...Just needs to learn to shoot a little more....well a lot more.
Kun... Right I know I'm gona get shot down and there is no doubting that this guy on his day is up there with the best of them with out doubt. There was one point last season that he was going past people like he was Messi, shear class Yes he has had a number of terrible injuries and in quick succession and I know that takes its toll. Right I'm ready to say it. The guys gone toooooo gready and I understand he has been getting frustrated with the lack of chances but he constantly trys to go down avenues that don't exsist. He needs to stop trying to over force things and use the obvious inteligence he has to pass and more to make space he also need to work the lines more and run in behind..oh and stop with throwing your arms around all the time..it looks bad.
Nacho... Good prospect seems to have the right temperament to become a good player. Keep learning and keep trying and his time will come.
Bony... This is not ever going to work. He is a class player but we play a certain system under MP and you can't expect Bony to do a job anywhere like Kun, it's not going to happen what so ever. He needs a total different shape. Focus on his eminence hold up play and then have the right type of support. He does not help himself tho as he is carrying to much weight and is not as fit as he was at Swansea.
Can I add that I believe we as a club do not train hard enough. I think MP gives them an easy ride.
