Clichy gave a ridiculous goal away just 2 or 3 games ago, and he has made the exact same mistake plenty of times this season; sometimes it goes unpunished, sometimes not.
He also allowed the crosses to be put in for most of the goals we conceded this season (crosses very rarely have come in from Sagna's side for instance). I'm not going to blame him entirely for that, as he has very rarely had protection from his winger, but it just shows that he doesn't put every player he faces 'in his pocket'.
He was our best player in January and maybe December, but in terms of defensive performance, he was outshone by Sagna at the start of the season and Gallas for a long period thereafter.
You're entitled to your opinion, but I think most neutral fans would agree that right now, Evra is a better player then Clichy; irrespective of form. Evra, Clichy and Bridge in that order are currently the best in the premiership.
Clichy gets just as much recognition as the players you have mentioned, I can guarantee that. The stadium was singing Clichy's name long before Adebayor came along and much more often then cesc's. He just doesn't have a particular 'song' that comes across clearly. If you mean pundit recognition; I think you may have missed something there too, he is widely touted as one of the finest full-backs in the league.
In regards to consistency, I would disagree and say that Flamini, sagna and Gallas have been equally consistent but irrespective of that consistency is only one facet of football. You have to look at the impact the player has as well, how many points they add to the table, do they win you games? can they pull you up from the brink of defeat to get a win or a draw? This is why attacking players are always more highly rated then defensive ones.
I do however feel that Clichy has been one of our top three performers this season.
That link ain't workin, northbank.
