Cole by a large distance. Though Enrique has been magnificent until February, but has been rubbish with Liverpool's collapse later on
 
Between Cole and Baines, Evra makes me sad now. He is very poor defensively and going forward he does quite well until it actually matters. He will cut through 4-5 players and then overhit it or put in a horrendous cross. We need to get a new left back soon and I would love to have Baines at the club if we didn't pay too much for him.
 
One of the most one-sided polls with >100 votes I've seen on this forum, with Cole having more than 10x the votes of 2nd place currently.
I'm actually a little surprised as was expecting the MU fans to be pushing Evra.
 
You might have seen that had his performances been merely adequate. Sadly he's been woeful, which makes it almost impossible for anyone that sees this week in week out to vote for him. Not completely impossible though obviously :p.

I doub't we'll get another position with such a clear cut winner.
 
Cole's been pretty woeful much of the season as well tbf but then at least this poll shows people aren't just voting on the basis of one season ;)
 
Dunno tbh, I certainly dont think he's the calamity accident waiting to happen some are making him out to be nor do I think he's as good as it once was so from week to week his performances kinda all merge into one for me - not terrible not brilliant just meh typical Evra :/

That's pretty much how I feel about him, although it does seem to happen quite often that he will get himself so badly out of position, I wonder if he has ever trained as a defender a day in his life.

CL final 2009 was when I first noticed it, not the fairest time to judge him against a great team like Barca, but since then I've always had the feeling that you know what, this guy is just not the player he used to be. The reasons behind that I honestly don't know.
 
Barely ever being rested could be a contributory factor, although that wont change next season with Fabio off on loan. The biggest thing I'd say I've noticed is how easily he's skinned these days, back in the day a big deal was made out of how Lennon got the better of him in a couple of games nowadays though pretty much anyone can get past him. I guess I wont have a major problem with him being in the team until he costs us in a big game....
 
The amount of people saying Cole is head and shoulders above the rest is bizarre. He is the best for sure, baines is up there as well though, really solid player plus he has a bit more than cole going forward. Clichy's had a great season too, he looks like he has a lot more freedom than before, it's bringing the best out of him.

Evra is just evra, nothing great, nothing rubbish, you know'll you get a decent performance from him everytime, Assou = joker, rubbish player personally, he'd be a better winger. Enrique has got a decent game in him if he concentrates a bit more.
