The worst player I saw against us this season was DANNY DRINKWATER. Taken off before he was red carded, he did absolutely nothing right and had the pace of an articulated lorry. We should have buried Villa twice.
GRANT HANLEY wins the "He will be in league 2 in 2 years award" for being laughably bad in a game I saw on sky where we appeared to be plonked on his arse at every turn.
NECO WILLIAMS wins the most over-hyped Liverpool player who was actually totally shit award and will never make the first team ever again. He will have Hanley alongside him at CB
JOE LINTON wins the "Is this what £ Insert figure here gets you nowadays award" The fact Locadia went to replace him says it all.
Maguire gets a hard time though. He might not be World Class but he has improved Man United's defence since he's been there.
Benteke
propper.
Drinkwater is a brilliant call. I’m changing my vote.
Danny Drinkwater is an excellent shout

Drinkwater was an absolute shambles
I heard Dean Smith on 5 Live one evening saying how delighted he was to land Drinkwater.
Then a few weeks later am I right in thinking he got sent home from training for fighting other players?
De Gea seems to be making a late bid for this title.
The official worst 11 according to WhoScored (started more than 10 games):
Angus Gunn (Saints) 6.19
Deandre Yedlin (Newcastle) 6.33
Mamadou Sakho (Palace) 6.24
Adrian Mariappa (Watford) 6.28
Emil Krafth (Newcastle) 6.30
Marco Stiepermann (Norwich) 6.22
Lewis Cook (Bournemouth) 6.31
Roberto Pereyra (Watford) 6.35
Dennis Praet (Leicester) 6.38
Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth) 6.37
Aaron Connolly (Erm... us) 6.32
Honourable mention to Jesse Lingard, who was one game short of 10 starts (9starts and 12 sub appearances), recording a mighty 6.26. Juan Mata also just misses out, posting a 6.33 rating from 8 starts and 11 sub appearances.
Drinkwater got 5.74 from his four appearances FWIW.
Yes, I was bored.
