Ashley Cole

[dell boy]

As an Arsenal fan I hate Cashley ...

BUT ..

I was appalled at the booing Saturday even if he does kind of deserve it - he didnt deserve it for his performances this season for England  - the best left back we have - just a loss of concentration - it happens to every player at some stage in a career

It just shows what a poor defence we have at international standard when Ashley Cole is quoted the best left back available in the country. I doubt he would be in the top 10 in the premiership.

I disagree Dell.  The blokes a cunt but its obvious he's a good left back.  The fact that his 2 clubs (at which he has been undoubtedly 1st choice) have been 2 of the top 4 is isnt just luck.  He's been mcuh better this season as scolari encourages him to join the attack.

He's up there with Evra and Clichy as the best in the country

Although please tell me who the 10 better left backs in the country are for a laugh please.

He has played for two of the top clubs, you mention Clichy he is a better player than Cole imo and Wayne Bridge when fully fit is a much better player than Cole imo.
Cole going forward links very well with midfield and attack, I think his defending which is meant to be his main asset, is very poor imo

Fair enough thats your opinion. Where are the other 9 who are btter than him?

But it would seem that Mourinho, Ericson & Capello all think he is better than bridge and I know who's jugement I trust more.

He has not been available for Capello, Ericson picked his side mainly from the star ratings in The Sun Newspaper and Mourinho did give him many opportunities until injuries kept him out of the side.
How much longer would you like this go on .... for my 8 other selections perm any left back from any of the other 18 sides, that's how low I rate Ashley Cole.

End of the day, the revulsion of the state of out national game is getting close to the surface. It doesnt take a lot to bring it out.

And as DRS said, football cant have it all ways.
