This is one of those things where you are going to tr and name 3 better left backs than Robertson and look very foolish imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also had Giggs in front of him and played to suit that. A very good pro and could play either side. I just cannot take to Evra and so am non-receptive as to whether he was any good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't @ me with any 90s plumberball era frauds Gerrard has played right-back, from memory and was very decent. Gary Neville was like a fan on the pitch, but one who could play. Lots of good Republic of Ireland right backs e..g Gary Kelly, Steve Finnan etc. I can't have Ferdinand. Think he is over-rated. Cole with Robbo as sub! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Irwin was outstanding and could easily be put at right back even he though he predominately played on the left. I was at an event a while back where SAF was speaking and he said that he was the one certainty to get in his best Man United team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDP Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Yeah, Irwin was incredible. If pushed for a top 3, I would go Irwin, Cole then Robertson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG.Roma Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) How about this then - who's been the best Left Back in the English Premier League since Andy Robertson left Dundee United? It's Andy Robertson. Around about the time Robertson joined Hull, Ashley Cole left Chelsea, they replaced him with an out of position Cesar Azpilicueta, and then Marcos Alonso. More recently they've had Ben Chilwell or Marc Cucurella. Chelsea, Man City and Leicester are the only other teams to have won the league since Robertson joined it. Leicester did it with Christian Fuchs. Spurs had Danny Rose and Ben Davies in 2014, Man Utd had Luke Shaw, Tyler Blackett and Timothy Fosu-Mensah. Arsenal had Kieran Gibbs and Nacho Monreal. I don't think any of them have really had anyone significant since then, other than Kieran Tierney. Man City have won the league with Kolarov, Clichy, Mendy, Zinchenko, Delph, Cancelo, Laporte and Ake at left back, maybe more. Kolarov had his moments, Mendy was brilliant going forward but a liability on the pitch, never mind off it. Joao Cancelo was great for a while, but that didn't last. Laporte and Ake are good, but are centre backs, not full backs. Delph and Zinchenko are midfielders. I know I'll have missed some, but in the last decade, Andy Robertson is comfortably the best Left Back in the Premier League.

If we just compare Robertson vs Irwin in trophies in TopTrumps I’d say that Irwin > Robertson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molotov Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 The peak decade of the EPL for me was around 1992-2002. Some of the players during that time across so many clubs were absolutely incredible. Zola, Bergkamp, Henry, Pires, Beckham, Giggs, Van Nistelroy, Ronaldo, Scholes, Yorke, Collymore, Fowler, Owen, Shearer. The list goes on. The Arsenal of that period I believe would piss all over today’s squad. Same with Manchester United. Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool, Chelsea, Villa, Blackburn and even Everton all had significant quality. Even teams like Sheffield Wednesday had Di Canio and Carbone. I think that period was certainly more competitive across the league. Plus the FA cup still had status in the game. Now it’s just an afterthought as a tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Bruce and Pallister aren't as good as Van Dijk. It's not because of the era they played in, its because they aren't as good as him.
