Some of those players were lesser parts of our team, certainly compared with Robin, Rooney, Carrick, Vidic, Rafael, etc, and yet several of those have also made very good contributions over the last couple of years. Now they are struggling to do even that. Kagawa has moved from an OK first season with some promising moments into nothingness, Rio from a good season into a total disaster, Hernandez was a great weapon to have and is a spare part now, Cleverley has shown good signs in the past (he was a regular in the first half of last season as we picked up some big away wins). Now we can't even get much from those guys. The great players have become good, the good ones are bad, the bad ones are total crap.
I was actually hoping that with a new manager - Moyes in our case - some players who were under performing in the last year or two - Valencia or Young, for instance - would have a new lease of life. But nothing. Seriously, which of our players can we look at and say he's had positive impact on?
