Devilish Judgment till now

SAF Rating 7+ A Hot and cold performance this season for the Scottish Legend. In the transfer market he was a bit dissapointing but strategically he was magnificent. His way to exploit fully everyone’s talent was determinating this season expecially when he lead a depleting side to important victories. Solved the defense and midfield problems once and for all but need to re use the same magic on the attack too. The shake up was needed but he need to be harder with Keano if he want to fully exploit the Irish genuine talent.

Barthez Rating 7+ Proved to be a wonderful keeper capable to do impossible saves. Barthez had grown mature, staying in his place rather than pretending to be the new Thierry Henry. He need to improve his communication and leadership skills with the backline

Carrol Rating 7 Superb when needed

Ricardo Rating 6+ Too little OT experiences to be judged fully but personally I prefer Carroll.

G Nev rating 7 Gives the heart out but dangerously inconsistent. Gaz can be superb (ex Liverpool) or just pitful (ex Man City) SAF prefer O Shea and so do I

O SHEA rating 9 Have we cloned Jaap Stam? The Irish INT is my perfect type of defender, powerful, filled with flair and techniqually gifted. He needs more experience that he will surely earn by playing a year or 2 on the flanks.

Blanc rating 6+ Had been a good leader in our defense but is becoming too slow to play in the breath taking EPL

Brown rating 8 Had been superb in our backline, showing great maturity and skill

Rio rating 7 Has yet to settle down in our defense and constant injuries do not help much in doing so. A future star

Silvestre rating 9 + Is he Maldini in disguise? Silvestre had been superb both on the flank and (I prefer him here) in the heart of the defense

P Nev rating 6+ PLS read Gaz psg. SAF had given him a lifeline in the midfield though an experiment which worked fairly well.

Keane rating 6+ Keano’s main enemy is himself he need to control his temper if he want to use his enormous talent in Manutd’s favor

Butt rating 8 a wonderful World cup performance but was unfortunately injured for Manutd’s current campaign

Beckham rating 7+ was out of form but he is BACK, proved himself well in the last 2 games

Giggs rating 6+ It clear that the Welsh wizard is out of form. Once he will be back he will prove his critics wrong

Veron rating 9 Took his time to settle down but its now evident that he is WORLD CLASS. His throughballs are magical

Scholes rating 8 He is even better than Veron if played in his natural position but is suffering when utilised as a forward or a left winger

Fortune rating 7+ Did well when utilised and was unlucky when he got injured

Richardson rating 6 a geniune talent but should be loaned to gain experience

Pugh rating 5 same story of Richardson

RVN rating 8+ Scored tons of goals and is OUR MAIN STRIKER. Can pass from small crisis but give me a player that doesn’t pass from these type of crisis.

OGS rating 7+ Played well as forward and right wing but needs RVN to play great in the front line

Forlan rating 7+ Hardworking, techniqually gifted and classy but is not a born striker and will never be one

I like the Maldini comparison... Not far fetched, in my opinion. Mikael is a very confident player and very able. One of the first names on the team sheet, I am sure. Great central defender/left back who can support the attack; great assist provider with his runs and crosses. Pacey in defence and has his head on his shoulders since he has started proving his detractors wrong. He must be the most unsung player of the squad. The Maldini of our squad, I like that tag.
 
He is my friend, Silvestre is the new Maldini Believe me. I have watched Maldini play since he was in his nappies (exxagerating lol) and believe me Silvestre is very near of what the Italian star was when he was 24 yrs old

Silvestre is also, in my opinion, the player of the season so far. He does everything sensibly and without flash, quietly doing his job. We have to love his spirit of selflessness and commitment. Long may he play for us. One of the bargain buys of SAF.
 
I wouldnt swap him with no one including Roberto Carlos and Chivu
 
SAF 8 After a dodgy start.

Barthez 8.75 Superb this year

Carroll 7 Looked a tad shaky at Chelsea but generally never lets us down.

Ricardo 6 Not seen enough of him to judge really

G Nev 7.75 Slow start but made up for it since

O Shea 9 Excellent start

Blanc 6.5 I don't feel secure when he plays

Brown 8 Excellent comeback so far

Rio 7 Hasn't had the chance yet to show the consistency of O'Shea, or even Brown come to that.

Silvestre 9 Very impresive this year

P Nev 7.75 Done a job well - deserves at least 7 + for the Arsenal game alone

Keane 6.5 No chance to do much yet

Butt 7.5 Hope he comes back as good as he was before the injury

Beckham 8.5 Would have been at least 9 if he'd had a longer run of games like the last two.

Giggs rating 6.5 Very inconsistent is Ryan, but you know he is always capable

Veron 8 100 per cent better than last year

Scholes 9 Gets stuck in wherever he plays

Fortune 7 Surprisingly useful in CM

Richardson 6 Too soon to tell

RVN 8.75 Would have been nearer ten but for his missed chances.

OGS 8.5 Has played well this season and works hard all the time, but like Ruud has lacked sharpness in front of goal at times.

Forlan 8 Never gives up and is creative as well
 
Barthez 8.5: Back to his very best this season. The signing of Ricardo may be the catalyst for it.

Carroll 7: Okay, but never give me too much confidence.

Gary Nev 7: Not consistent enough. Let's see how he react with the challenge of O'Shea.

Phil Nev 7.5: Did a good job when we were in injury crisis. Always run his socks off.

Blanc 6.5: Should have retired after last season.

Rio 6.5: injury proned and hasn't showed his standard yet.

Brown 8: Terrific after came back from injury.

O'Shea 9: Our biggest discovery this season. Can play everywhere at the back and look better and better in every matches he played.

Silverstre 8.5: Very impressive, lightning quick.

Keano 7: Injured for most of the time.

Becks 7.5: Has been injured for some time. Glad to see that he has the sign to start playing the best football of his life recently.

Butt 7: Same as Keano

Veron 7.5: Average in the first few months, but has improve dramatically since back from the flu.
Starts to show the standard of a world class midfielder.

Giggs 6: Disappointing. He definitely need to improve in the second half of the season.

Scholes 9: The best and the most consistent performer of our midfield/forward section this season. Rescue the points for us in countless situations.

Ruud 7.5: Our no.1 striker who scored a lot fo goals, and he also showed obvious improvement in some of his passings.

Ole 7.5: Excel on the right side and work very hard

Forlan 7: Glad to see him settle down and begin to score goals.

Fortune 7: Has proved that he is a very useful utility player for us.
