there are a lot of good young right backs at the moment, but is there one player that stands out as the best?

But you do that with Ferguson, Scholes etc. so how would it be any different.

And just now you said it would be Neville if he could shoot. Well he has a few more limtations than that: doesn't have the speed and stamina to get up and down the line, especially for overlapping, getting to the by-line and pulling the ball back, or even getting into the position to have a shot etc. He is getting ona bit, but he never had this. Also his passing is not that great, he has 2 options when he gets the ball to pass it back short or to cross it. Not sure if he has a particularly good first touch either. He is supposed to be good at heading the ball, but I don't remember him scoring from many (if any) corners, freekicks etc.

He is good at defending and crossing and that's about it. Eboue is better, even Lauren, Geremi and Finnan are equal. Chimbonda was better last year, and this is just in the EPL, without including italy, spain, germany, france, netherlands etc.

Players that have obviously always been better: cafu, zanetti, zambrotta etc are just on a different level to Neville.
