Obviously some player have been injured - so scored low IMO for continually being injured. Other haven't played as many games, but when they have - how have they performed.

The big disappointment is the continuous injury problems to certain players.

PLAYERS OUT IN JAN?

Dzeko - he won't want to be a sub - so will probably ask for a transfer in Jan.
Garcia - just shit, simple as.
Lescott - and that's only because I don't think MP will give him any game time for him to stay.

PLAYERS IN?

Lewandowski - straight swap for Dzeko would be good business.
Baines - consistent and can push Clichy and Kolorov - Kolorov can play LMF...but may then be a bit part player.
Sergio Ramos - optimistic, but great experience and can fill in at LB/RB if needed. LONGSHOT!!

I'd go along with most of those. Maybe not give Nedge a 9 though.

what???

Dzeko can go for me along with Kolorov have said it for along time and cant change my mind.. Would give Nasri and Silva 9's but agree with the rest.
Baines would be the only addition for me, not just to piss that lot off but IMO that is our weakest position along with centre half but think Boyata can fill that place, and VK coming back.

Me neither.  An 8 for sure, but he's not a 9 yet.  Also, nice to see my nickname for him catching on

Nasri, definitely.  Silva, just about.

And as much as it pains me to say it, I'd drop Zaba to a 6 as well.  None of the defence have covered themselves in glory particularly and it's a sad indictment on them all that our best defensive player has been AlKo.

Fair points....I'm not sure Zaba deserves a 6. He's not made glaring errors like Nasty and Clichy.

I think you need to watch Zabba more closely Bluey. Nasty and CLichy's errors ahve cpst us goals. I'm sure Zabba made a couple early in the season that did the same. He's also made bad errors that didn't cost goals and people quickly forget those errors.

Yeah..errors will be made by all....but the point is they weren't costly like the galring ones Nasty and Clichy have made.

6 1/2 then.
