For example, David De Gea has had his ups and downs here, but he always gives his all, and despite his flaws with cross collection and coming off his line, he does far, far more good for us than bad. He is also dependable, in relative terms. As far as I'm concerned, this gives him a greater grace period than anyone at the club, bar the youngsters, who shouldn't be placed under the same scrutiny.
I don't think players who have joined the club the summer gone should be judged in the same way as those who have been here long enough to have settled, etc. should, but if you feel they should be listed, it would be interesting to hear your reasoning for doing so.
I don't want to go through the squad as I'm curious to see which players remain in your own good graces, but I should think De Gea is one that would mostly be uniformly agreed upon, and if he isn't, it'd sure be interesting to read why.
So, if you had your way, and could keep the players you feel have earned a do-over in the next Matrix whilst binning off the rest, who makes it for you, and why - as in, what warrants their stay of execution, if you will?
