Blind - best LB option?

After yesterdays performance i'm wondering out of Shaw, Rojo and Blind if the dutchman might just be our best left back option?

I'm not too happy with the distribution of Rojo and Shaw. Blind can whip in a ace cross down the wing. Linked up really well with Young like Evra used to do.

Only thing Blind doesnt have is great pace, but how many old skool pacey wingers exist these days? few and far between. Most "wide" players are technical players who like to come inside. He coped fine with Townsend yesterday for the half hour he was on!

Blind hasn't been signed to play there though.

Luke Shaw hasn't done anything wrong either, other than picking up constant niggles.


Left back isn't a concern any longer. It's now Right back that is.

Shaw's consistancy isn't at the level required - yet. If Rafael's ship has sailed, I believe there are some good options out there. Clyne would be highon everyone's list, but I'm not sure he's the best option. There are a lot of rightbacks out there after all.

Young has scored just 4 goals in last 3 seasons for the club or 74 Appearances to even more precise.

Is that good enough? One goal every 25 apps?

it will be if he makes it 5 in 75 and scores the winner on sunday

Blind for me till the end of the season anyway think he brings more experience and calm to the defence at left back then Shaw , at the current moment at time. Hopefully we can stay wit the same back four till the end of the season and get some consistency at the bck.

The English Jesus Navas.

...........

How is this guy in the City team. His crossing is on a par with Valencia.

Obvious answer is to stretch teams out in order to give Silva more room to hurt teams, offer an outlet for counter attacks and generally keep the opposition's left flank pinned in a position as much as possible.

TTheoretically, it makes sense. Navas' inability to deliver - no pun intended - though makes it a poor choice in practise though.

Clyne would be a good signing for you lot IMO!

Blind has all the attributes Shaw does not, and only does not have the 1 that shaw has (over him), pace.

Blind is a better reader of the game, far better technical ability and his passing and decision making is vastly superior. That said, Shaw has not done much wrong, and is a solid defender, but by the same token he has not added much to the team overall, where blind seems to contribute more.

Early days for Shaw, but I'd much rather see blind in there until the end of the season.

shaw has hardly impressed, he has been run ragged a few times but we all know he has potential

young has be impressive and very disciplined at lb. He oft played lwb but has also had a few games at lb

blind has been impressive in every game I have seen him at lb
