No I disagree. Need not be french, but up to required quality.

Sagna is 100.09 times the defender Eboue is. If you want some dribbling, and lack of positional sense as a fullback foremost, you might prefer Eboue.

Or Marcelo.

oh sorry, I was playing the 'who the hell has O'Neill put at right back this week' game.

Which position will Batman go for next

I hope it is the top 10 subs

Maybe he'll mix it up and we'll highlight the Brazillians.

And that list will have Macheda, Wellbeck, O'Shea, Scholes, POTY, Neville, 30m flop, Kia's dog, Rafu's tiwn brother, and what not!

1. Essien
2. Bosingwa
3. Johnson
4. Sagna
5. Corluka
6. Arbeloa
7. Beye
8. Paintsil
9. Zabaleta
10. Young

I think Gerrard is the best right back in the league / world

He is just so good he never gets to play there

I think S4P will agree with this

Gerrard is the 2nd best, behind Essien.

Can't believe I forgot to include Liverpool's 3rd best midfielder in the list

1)Rafu
2)O'Shea
3)

Spoiler:

4) Brown
5) Evans
6)Eckersly

English ones in bold:

1. Glenn Johnson
2. Steinsson
3. Pantsil
4. Beye
5. Corluka
6. Arbeloa
7. Bosingwa
8. Zabaleta
9. Luke Young
10. Neil

Think the top 4 have been a bit shit this season.

Is it top 10 left backs today batman?

I don't really rate Sagna that highly tbh.

No shit.

If only he was more like a right backed version of Gareth Bale.

We wouldn't have won a game if he was more like Bale

Don't think there have been all that many impressive performances from RB's this season, certainly not enough to merit a top 10.

A couple of mentions;

Johnson - Used to think he was utter shit. But I've changed my mind a little. I think he's actually become a useful player and has had a fairly good season.

Bosingwa - Seems to get a lot of criticism, alot of which is unjust for me. Get's forward very well, a decent crosser and no worse a defender than any other attacking FB.

Arbeloa - Consistent + solid, if not a little limited in ability.

Can't think of any others really. Hutton if he played more, would probably be worth a mention. And Raphael looks promising. Other than that...

Haven't been impressed by Sagna at all this season either, before someone mentions him.

We don't really have to ask who's better competition out of BAE & Eboue, do we? Because that's what we're judging them on. (You can include "SuperStar"Walcott in this too - 2 League Goals in 21 apps ). That and a couple of shite runs against worn out Liverpool teams. If his legs went, he'd have NOTHING to offer football.

I haven't seen any attacking player have such an appalling hype-to-goal ratio as Walcott since the ZEROROONEY days!

Bale's not been in the Bentley league of shiteness, to be fair to him, "the curse" has been ridiculously unlucky, and he played quite well at Goodison Park in the game before last. He's been left of the bench by a player having an *excellent* season, and needs to sort out his fitness & defensive nous. I have no doubt he'll be a valuable player in the future.

"Garrincha" Walcott - 6 goals from 52 league games.

Shite flop Bale - 2 from 23.

But yeah, only in the land of ArseHype does it represent a massive difference

Whats Walcott got to do with a discussion on right backs?



Agendas

Theo is a good player..he'll get a lot of goals eventually

TS trumps himself by managing to post a debate about a left back and a right winger in a thread about right back. I suppose you could say that he was half right on both counts....

Hey, Tweeds was the one who veered off course, not me.

In league 2

10 league goals in 4 seasons, and Wenger thinks he's better than Messi

He's not better than Messi obviously..he is a good player though. His pace will serve him well for a good few years yet..he isnt bad on the ball and his finishing will get better IMO. If and when he starts to play up front he will get goals.

Did you know that Zero EP Lennon has a slightly higher strike rate than him in the EPL?

Lennon - 12 in 118 apps

Theo - 6 in 62 apps.

Embarrassing.

He is too small to play right up top and he isn't skilfull enough to be a support striker.

Wenger has boobed !

He isnt bad on the ball..like I said, he's not Messi..but he's not useless with the ball at his feet.

If he has space.
