Fullbacks

Postby HeyMark » Thu Nov 04, 2010 10:19 pm

My expectation levels drop every time the ball gets passed to our fullbacks atm, its embarrassing how awkward Micah and Bridge are on the ball, they slow down the play and defensively they are so bad its not even funny. The amount of times both were caught out of position tonight was a disgrace. Bridge has to be the softest defender i've ever seen, he's so afraid to go into a tackle!!

When we signed him I was really excited and thought we'd got a great deal but from day 1 he's been nothing but a disappointment. The sooner we have boateng and kolarov playing full back the better.

Micah is better than boateng!
Tracking back is overrated.

From what I have seen of Boateng thus far he is.
Boateng is new to the prem thou so give him time to bed in.

As for our overall play of the fullbacks, Bridge is beyond help. He is terrible. Richards can look amazing one minute and dire the next if he could ever improve his consistency he would be worthy of a place in the team.

Lets just hope Kolarov brings it when he finally gets a fun in the team!

Once Kolarov and Boateng settle they will be fine

Bridge is an ok back up..Micah can fuck off in January..what's the use of a defender that can't defend?

Boateng needs some time to adapt, that is all. He is a footballer, unlike Richards who is an athlete.

Switch the players involved and I agree completely.

Wayne Bridge is a con artist. Get rid asap.
