I rate Ashley Cole as the best LB too. But imo, that's because the rest of them are crap. He's one of the few who's got enough brains and legs to attack while not forgetting to defend.
I guess Evra comes second?
kurt...how much of a difference do you in Ashley Cole's game from Arsenal and now at Chelsea. Or is it still the same?
I'm not a big fan of Evra personally, don't think he's that great defensively.
He's better defensively now than when he was at Arsenal I'd say, but his overall game hasn't changed much. He's always been good going forward. I think he actually started out as a striker.
Anyways, finished 0-0 against West Ham today. They came for a point and got it, we had 16 corners for Christ sake! Carew had a goal disallowed for offside and it looked like the wrong decision. We broke 4 on 3 late on and as soon as it looked like we might sore he blew up for a West Ham player that was down. Another poor officiating display.
Unless they can clone Clattenburg and get him to ref every game, it'll continue in this way.
EDIT: Just read that when Petrov smashed the ball into the stands, it went into the 5 Live commentary box, hit Robbie Savage in the face and gave him a nose bleed.
What a legend, I'd retire the #19 shirt just for that.
