England's current LB, Is it just me ?

[gatso]

looking back at the slo mo of the goal just now, obv cole screwed up but the centrebacks weren't exactly alert to the guy running straight past them while they stood there.

also upson made just as bad an error with his ball to james. it's just that we got away with that one and footy fans, like so many poker players, are results orientated. if that'd resulted in a goal and cole's hadn't it would've been upson instead being booed because of a single mistake.

cole is quality and those booing should be ashamed

This thread is rubbish...

Cole is the best English Left back by miles.


Except, there may be another:

Aidan Peter White (born 10 October 1991) is an English footballer who currently plays as a defender for Leeds United. White made his debut for the Leeds first team in a Football League Cup game against Crystal Palace on 26 August 2008,[1] being given a standing ovation from Leeds fans when he was replaced by substitute Bradley Johnson. He started again in the first round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy against Bradford City, gaining the man of the match award and earning more praise from his manager Gary McAllister. White made his league début in the 2-0 win away at Carlisle United (in your eye ChipPrince) on 20 September 2008 and again the local lad received plaudits for his performance.

+1 Aidan abs crushes everyone

Cole suffered under Mourinho in a flat back four. Looks far better under Scolari. I dont remember too many right wingers making him look daft and never in a massive game - especially for England. His record in top level games is very good considering some of the opposition over the years (bar THAT Spain game - it was a friendly tho).

IMHO Bridge is shit. A catastrophe waiting to happen (again I should say). Lescott is decent if not great.

Cole by far the best IMO.

[Josedinho]

Yeh Cole is looking as good as he did at Arsenal.
Nobody troubles him not even Ronaldo. Just made a mistake.

[Newportlad]

Bring back Phil Neville IMO

A lot of the posts here are so club biased. So here is mine, Michael Ball is the man for the job. (and no not the tubby singer)

Nor mine. I really dislike the guy as a person but he's by far the best we have.

Him being booed isn't a surprise as every other fan from a London club will boo any mistake from him. The same morons who booed Lampard. They're all West Ham, Spurs and Arsenal fans who hate Chelsea. You also get the lower league fans who ar obviously "experts" at viewing top level football and decide to boo too.

[Acidmouse]

Interesting, watched the morning paper show on sky sports where journalists debated this.

Lets face it Cole is everything people hate in footballers, but it makes no sense to boo him or the team. Nothing positive can come out from that. He has also been the best LB in this country for a while, decent form this season, much as it pains me.
