Actually you can't really judge ANY of them because Maureen made absolutely no effort to play to their strengths and had them in a side that was (just like the players had done with Van Gaal) playing negative football at a slow pace passing sideways every five minutes.
You can't judge the attacking players because they didn't do a great deal of attacking and you can't really judge the defensive players because they were playing defensive practically all the time. Defending is only half of a defender's game in normal circumstances. Our centre backs weren't making driving runs through the middle of the park the way they should have been (especially Jones and Lindelof) and our full backs weren't racing forward, beating opponents with the ball at their feet and sticking crosses in.
Apart from Bailly, Matic and Grant those players should have been spending most of their time pushing forward and leaving defensive duties for when opponents counter attacked.
I'm just hoping that whoever takes over brings us back to playing positive, fast-paced attacking football with penetration again, something we haven't seen since Fergie left. We should be passing forwards, not backwards and sideways.
