Gibbs Has Become A Top Class Player

Kamran sure knows how to exaggerate when he's not totally enamoured with a player. Alba would walk into most top sides around.

No he wouldn't Sheriff. Most top sides' LBs at least have some form of defensive ability, Alba doesn't. He's got pace and that's it. His positioning is shocking and he's weak.

Silva, Chiellini, Kompany, Ramos, Marquinhos

I can't believe you rate Montoya and not Alba.

RB would be
Lahm, Piszczek, Zabaleta, Alves, Ivanovic

I singled out Gibbs as I feel his contribution goes a little bit under the shadow.

Of course it's a team effort. No offence, but this is a silly discussion.

"Ozil is,the other two aren't. Koscielny hasn't peformed long enough to be classed as worldclass, I mean it wasn't that long ago you lot hated him.Baines is just as good at LB as Cazorla is as a midfielder (Cazorla also rates Baines highly)"

Koscielny is debatable, I get that. But I don't get your argument for Cazorla.
'Baines is just a good a left as Cazorla is a midfielder?'
Idiotic comparison really.

Montoya is far better than Alba defensively Batmoanu

Zabaleta another overrated player.

Ivanovic? Lol

Sagna is the second best RB in the world after Lahm

T.Silva I think is the best CB in the world, soon Varane will be. Those two rarely make big mistakes, very rarely. The rest is debatable, loads of top CBs these days make big errors

"Alba? he is truly awful. Absolutely shocking defender. Actually, to call him a defender is naive..."

Wtf? Alba is top quality.

posted on 20/10/13

No he's not Dubbed. He's a quality footballer, but a shocking LB

Lahm, Pisczcek, Alves, Zabaleta, Sagna

Sagna was up there a few years ago. Not anymore though. Though he's definitely on par with Ivanovic.

Marquinhos will be better than varane, I know we've argued this before but I'm convinced

posted on 20/10/13

Like I said Dubbed, very few fullbacks these days have a balance between offensive and defensive qualities. Sagna is one of the few who's good at both.

You talk garbage Kamran. Another random opinion you've formed to look cool going against the grain.

Just have a look at how you're overrating Shaw (who's a big talent) by the way. Complete hype.

I can't believe how many people rate Zabaleta so highly. He is a reliable player but that's about it.

posted on 20/10/13

Sagna can't attack for toffee. See no balance there. But a few years ago he was up there.

I agree you've jumped on the bandwagon re alba

posted on 20/10/13

We'll see Analog. Think Varane will be the best in the world soon. He's got everything a CB needs.

Marquinhos has been good this season though, he's improved physically. I wasn't convinced with him last season cos he looked like a skeleton and was very weak. Much improved.

Ivanovic? Lol
---------------------------------------------

Ivanovic's form admittedly hasn't been what it used to be but it's not laughable to rate him as one of the best RB's around. In Chelsea's CL winning season, I wouldn't have had any RB over Ivanovic.

Not many other options batmanu

posted on 20/10/13

Alaba will be the best LB in the world for years to come. As footballers go he's intelligence is unreal. He's a midfielder by trade but he gets played at left back and like Lahm he can play anywhere and still look world class. These types of players are so rare and Bayern have two in their team.

Ivanovic's not even really a right back. But that shows how good he is really.
