Title: Re: Best Left Back in the world Poll Post by: LeedsRhodesy on January 17, 2010, 12:19:36 PM No he can't score sick 45 yards free kicks i trying to point out how good the lad is at getting forward and getting into the box and when he does get the ball he knows where the back of the net is look how good goal 3 and 4 5 are a forward would be proud of them never mind a LB YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEWuBv59KT8 Title: Re: Best Left Back in the world Poll Post by: TightEnd on January 17, 2010, 12:56:50 PM Soccer Manager, the bible of what is what in real life football clearly, gives its top ratings as follows
COLE, Ashley LB 29 94 AGE RATING - EVRA, Patrice LB 28 94 - ZAMBROTTA, Gianluca RB/LB 32 94 CHIELLINI, Giorgio CB/LB 25 94 ABIDAL, Éric LB/CB 30 93 - LAHM, Philipp RB/LB 26 93 CHIVU, Cristian CB/LB 29 93 ESCUDE, Julien CB/LB 30 92 - ZHIRKOV, Yuri LM/LB 26 92 - CLICHY, Gaël LB 24 92 - CAPDEVILA, Joan LB 31 92 Title: Re: Best Left Back in the world Poll Post by: Longy on January 17, 2010, 12:58:48 PM I voted for Evra, i think it is pretty close between him and Cole as best LB currently playing in England. I will be honest I haven't seen the majority of the list playing week in, week out so it is hard to draw any real conclusion personally.
Title: Re: Best Left Back in the world Poll Post by: George2Loose on January 17, 2010, 01:04:33 PM I think it's pretty close between Evra and Cole. I think on his day Cole is probably better but Evra is more consistent week in week out

Title: Re: Best Left Back in the world Poll Post by: GreekStein on January 17, 2010, 02:01:16 PM rofl at Evra being the same as Cole. Clearly excellent but not quite as good as Cole.
Title: Re: Best Left Back in the world Poll Post by: The Baron on January 17, 2010, 02:31:23 PM I think it's pretty close between Evra and Cole. I think on his day Cole is probably better but Evra is more consistent week in week out I don't know how anyone who watched Cole this season or last can say he's not consistent week in week out. Title: Re: Best Left Back in the world Poll Post by: The Baron on January 17, 2010, 02:33:06 PM Shocking but had to vote for Cole on that list, right now, today.
Two years ago would have been Zambrotta by a mile at either FB position. Title: Re: Best Left Back in the world Poll Post by: Josedinho on January 17, 2010, 03:18:37 PM It's Cole
Evra when Man U won the Champions League but he hasn't been as good since.

Based on purely defensive ability Cole would be close to the bottom of that list for me.

Agreed, id probably say Zambrotta is the best 'defender' out of that list. |
