You made since until the utter drivel about Rob Jones even if you did try to include a caveat to justify the nonsense.So you can't name any?
I'm sure if we look back at many top managers they've all talked crap at times.
Did Klopp call him a world class defender or a world class RB - there is a difference.
I know TAA's weaknesses - letting wingers come on the inside too easy, not great in the air, not hitting the target enough on free kicks. Sometimes ball watches.
The lad is 22.
Cafu, Alves have been mentioned by most - were these great DEFENDERS? Yes, but I would have others above them when it comes to defending. Were they great full backs, undoubtedly. At Left Back, Roberto Carlos, Alba.
Lahm probably had the best balance of the two, although Thuram was majestic.
AWB is a better defender than him, but if you asked the majority of premiership team fans who they would want to sign for their club, I think the vast majority of top and mid table teams would pick TAA.
It's what you do as as a full package, and what you do for your team that counts. Liverpool allow him the freedom to bomb on, as he gives so much to our attack, and as VVD and Gomez have been able to defend one on one well, we take that gamble. Playing for a team like Norwich or Newcastle with 25-40% possession and mainly defending, not as much.
Do you slag off AWB for hitting the first man every 2nd cross or general poor delivery?
He does a great job for us, wouldnt swap him for anyone in the prem in the same position. Can he improve defensively, God yes.
I know you currently dont have the common sense to grasp this, as you are increasing letting bias and sheer stupidity cloud your judgement nowadays, a bit different to a few years ago when I could have a sensible conversation with you for a good few years. Has us winning 2 big trophies twisted you up that much? Allied to Man U's fall from grace (although returning again by the looks of it), or are you just ok when things are going well and a fair weather supporter. The difference is noticeable.
Anyway, grasp this.
Rob Jones was a better defender than Gary Neville, absolutely.
However, Gary Neville was a better right back.
Therein lies the difference.
