Rate Your Squad 2011/12

---

David De Gea - came in with a massive pricetag and hype, probably as somewhat predicted had an uneasy start...even since the New Year and the Gaard's injury he's been very solid indeed. Bulking up seems to have worked as well - 7.5/10

Anders Lindegaard - the under-the-radar buy of last year, looked pretty decent when called upon, didn't put too much wrong either - 7/10

Ben Amos - kept a clean sheet against a shite Stoke away side. adam_OAFC's favourite player ever 6/10

Tomasz Kuszczak - don't understand why he didn't leave in the summer or in January. A decent goalkeeper...not at all shit - N/A

---

Nemanja Vidic - HUGE loss.. started to really miss him around April time. Hopefully the injury hasn't let him up in anyway - N/A

Rio Ferdinand - got pelters of 'past it' in 2011 but has pulled it around and looks like his old self again. I hope he retires from internationals so he can squeeze out the reminder of his quality with us. Calmest head on the pitch - 8/10

Patrice Evra - feels like hes played every Utd game going since 2008. Maybe age is finally catching up to him. Brilliant defensively, great getting forward...never good at crossing though haha - 8/10

Jonny Evans - MASSIVE improvement! Looks like hes found his 08/09 form. Please keep it up! Apparantly switching to a different side of central defence has been the catalyst to this resurgence in form - 8/10

Chris Smalling - Looks to have picked up from where he left off last season. He's still young and inexperienced so expect some mistakes here and there. Got injured a lot in mid-season. Ultimately being groomed to be Rio's heir - 7/10

Phil Jones - Looked awesome at the start of the season but has slowly faded away. Tons of potential to be the best centre-back in the world. Got injured a lot in mid-season. Ultimately being groomed to be Vidic's heir - 6.5/10

Rafael da Silva - Great going forward...Slowly improving defensively. He's still a *bleep*ing hothead and a short fuse and prone to a lapse in concentration. Hope he harnasses his aggression for his own good - 7.5/10

Fabio da Silva - Great going forward...Still not defensively sharp. Much calmer than his twin. Hopefully will benefit from playing at Benfica next season - 6/10

Michael Carrick - playing like his 2006-2008 self again. Awesome at sitting infront of the back four, dictating play and spraying passes. Wish I could see more of him getting forward since hes a pretty good dribbler. Needs a good central midfielder with him - 9/10

Paul Scholes - looked awesome considering his situation when coming out of retirement. Wish he was 10 years younger to be honest. I hope he's used bit-part IF he stays on though - 8/10

Anderson - injured again, struck up a flash in the pan good partnership with Cleverley but faded away in form and injuries. I think his current injury has bought him another season to shape up - 6.5/10

Tom Cleverley - rode in on a tidal-wave of 'who needs Sneijder and Modric when we have this guy?!'. got a pretty bad injury, rushed back, injured again...probably get more opportunities next seasons - 6.5/10

Darren Fletcher - sad situation concerning his medical condition, explains his dip in form over the past 18 months too. Hope he gets better very soon - N/A

Ryan Giggs - same old, same old from him. Still pulls out those special moments and great performances every once in a while - 7.5/10

Paul Pogba - bright brief moments, looks like he's off...wish him well - N/A

---

Antonio Valencia - majestic, amazing at crossing, amazing upper body strength, amazing pace...probably our player of the season. If his left foot was as good as his right foot then he would *bleep*ing amazing - 9.5/10

Nani - picked off where he left off...nice to see him balance out the skill with the actual football now. Still tries to score from 30 yards out though - 8/10

Ashley Young - Finally! Someone who can take decent corners and threaten from set-pieces! Brilliant right foot shot in him. Good versatility. Don't like his diving though..otherwise another fine addition to the squad - 8/10

Ji-Sung Park - Mr. Big Game sadly is losing his touch. I think he'll be sold in the summer. Great stamina, great movement...if he had decent finishing ability he'd be amazing - 7/10

---

Wayne Rooney - Probably still our most talented players, great goal return this season... I don't think he had too much time off through injury either which is a bonus - 9.5/10

Dimitar Berbatov - I feel he should have been loaned out or moved on in January for his own good as it saddens me to see him not get used at all. Had a very good cameo period at the mid-point in the season. I hope he moves on the summer because I still think he can offer a lot to a good team - 7/10

Danny Welbeck - Improved a lot since his loan spell at Sunderland. Starting to live up to the potential he had tagged on him five years ago. I love his footwork and physicality despite his leanish figure. Reminds me of Andy Cole - 8/10

Chicharito - I think hes got a bit of Second Season Syndrome this season. Injury didn't help either as well as Welbeck's rise. Still ruthless infront of goal and a brilliant buy considering his price. Here's hoping the Mexican F.Inzaghi refinds his true form next season! - 7.5/10

Michael Owen - 3 in 4 games all season...clinical. Think hes off in the summer. Wouldn't be surprised if he packed it in all together. He's got his post-football career all set up - N/A
