This thread a bone of contention for several years for me. Reason why, is sad to say I really havent liked many of our players individually for some time. Can go back to when I first supported the club and loving the likes of Robson and Hughes all the way through to the last 6/7 years and have always been several players have loved in the side, even when not massively rated the side.
Now, my favourite player.......erm? I would have picked DeGea bar the near move to Madrid, but his form the last two years, no way can he be a favourite as he has been poor. Martial? 5th season here and he isnt a yougnster now, he has had one decent season and never looked to show love for the club either? Pogba? You must be having a laugh?????
Too early to say with Greenwood, but even personality wise who has shown tremendous effort and love for the club.......Mata stands out for me, but I never did or have sice he has been here thougtht he was the right fit.
I thought I would love Bissaka and he would be an huge player for us, though I think he has been overly criticised, he hasnt been awful for me like many say, but he has a hell of a lot to improve and not sure he will get anywhere near what I expected of him.
The one player, as others have mentioned stands out, is Fernandes....and not to sound like a half empty person (which I am haha), but you know the reason for that with me.....its his professionalism, calm head and that he absolutely works his butt off everygame and shows the desire to win. Because despite having very good ability, for me, the jury is still out over time whether he is a very good player with a tremendous attitude, or a great one. I think he played out of his skin the first few months and everything went right. You look at the last month or so of last season and this so far, take away the penalties which are still earnign him credit, I am not sure he can consistently reach the levels he did when he started here, not sure he is a great. I dont actually expect him too. Without disrespect to him, others with more ability that looked fantastic the first 8-10games here have failed.....Veron, DiMaria for example
But yes, Fernandes is the one player I really like in this side as his attitude is absolutely fantastic and he is also a good player
