Grading the current squad out of 10: Pickford - 7 on current performances and is going to get better manquillo - 6.5 pretty solid Deneyar - 5 all be it he has not played in his favoured position Kone - 6.5 needs a settled partner djillidobji - 5.5 looks raw PVA - 6.5 great going forward but can let us down defensively O'Shea - 6 still a calming influence Love - I think he's out of his depth in the Premier League Cattermole - 6.5 needs to be injury free Kirchoff - 7.5 different class in midfield Gooch - 6 another young raw talent Khaziri - 5 not had a lot of chance In the side but has looked decidedly average Watmore - 6 a little one dimensional Rodwell - 5 still no sign of the talent we thought we were getting McNair - 5.5 a utility player who has potential Pienaar - 5.5 not done much and has had limited opportunity Januzai - 5.5 I was expecting more from him so disappointed Ndong - 7 I like what I have seen so far Defoe - 6.5 starved of any decent service, which is why he probably is struggling with to take his current chances Borini - 6 when fit I'm sure most won't agree with the numbers but based on what I have seen so far this season that's what I think they are worth.
That surgests we have an above average squad. if 5 is bang in the middle average which it is if it's out of ten. On this season Pickford - 6 manquillo - 4 Deneyar - 3 Kone - 5 djillidobji - 3 PVA - 5 O'Shea - 4 Love - Not seen him play enough. Cattermole - 5 Kirchoff - 4 Gooch - 5 Khaziri - 4 Watmore - 5 Rodwell - 4 McNair - 4 Pienaar - 6 Januzai - 4 Ndong - 7 Defoe - 7 Borini - 4
I was being polite Bri and didn't want to **** with their confidence lol. But your scores are probably more realistic.
Pretty much spot on imo. Although I think Rodwell has been decent when he's played - I'd probably rate him a 5 or 6.
