[Upper Sturry Sherbets]

I don't think any player in the current side warrants a ten, maybe one or two have been a bit generous with their marks here, Arteta, Cahill,Jagielka, Howard, Lescott for instance would be two-thirds of the way there in general, but no player we have gets full marks, and- dare I say it- if a ten was needed, give it to Gerrard, the guy is far from my cup of tea, but for commitment, leadership and all round ability the little squirt is unparalleled.

Are we talking about the same Leighton Baines here?

Are we talking about the same Leighton Baines here?

How many do you know?

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I need to know who I'm comparing them against, others at the club or players worldwide? My ratings are gonna' look entirely different, depending.

 

[Goat]

It was mainly how YOU rate the players, I suppose based on within the Club really.

I felt I had to use half-points because we have quite a lot of "tweeners" that are missing something in their game (experience, passing, tackling or consistency etc) to move them up a notch IMHO. A five or below would have to be considered reserve team quality compared to the rest of the squad and nobody gets a ten because that's reserved for one W.R. Dean...sorry! Obviously this is not a static opinion. Ask again in May...
