While many look back at the season in terms of games won or lost, I’m using this opportunity to look at the progress of players. Individual games are important, no doubt, such as both Porto games, Braga, Pacos, Sporting, etc. Yet looking at the season for me, means looking at this team not only as a whole but also at players singularly to realize their contribution and for some, their improvement over the course of the past eleven months. Some have been solid rocks while others have wavered over whether or not they should be bench warmers or potentially even sold in January. Whatever their situation, this is a post that will look at them case by case and to give performance ratings for each. This will also not include all players, as many did not play enough for me to really given an evaluation, so it is the usual starting eleven with a few others added in.
