As Nokkon said, nobody comes close to those two.

Yep. Cole is far better though

Secondly, why are people complaining over Reina?

Don't understand that either. I could count the amount of goals he's cost us on one hand yet he seems to have a reputation as an unreliable/error prone keeper.

It's all because of the hot potato incident against the bitters in his first season.

Why are you being so rude and why does it matter if I think Clichy a great LB? It doesn't really matter who I support, I've seen both Evra and Clichy play a lot and while they are extremely close, I personally prefer Clichy. As Nokkon said, nobody comes close to those two.

Ashley Cole, Lescott to name two.

Let me guess... a bitter?

What's a bitter?

Thought that was his second season. He had a mare against Everton that year, he wasn't great against us last season either, but I watch a lot of matches (3 every Saturday), Match of the Day, all the games on Sunday and any through the week, and that results in seeing a lot of Liverpool games and Reina is absolutely WORLD class, it's just unfortunate for him that Casillas is his competition for Spain.

Erm? Even Everton fans don't put Lescott up there because of the mistakes he's made.
Cole hasn't been great since 2005 and this season is his best season so far in a Chelsea shirt - which isn't saying much.

Edit: Bitter = Everton fan.

The OP didn't say the players had to be on form.

And no, I'm not an Everton fan, or any PL team.

I never said Lescott was on or out of form. I said Everton fans wouldn't even put him there.

You're right it was his 2nd season. The game at OT last season was a strange one for him; his distribution was terrible that day (unusual for him) and he was at fault for your 1st goal but he also made at least 4-5 great saves too.

NokkonWud · 9 Oct 2008 at 20:41

Yeah, what I do remember is his Van Der Sar like none-precision passing, which is why I mentioned it, but thinking back, he did make a few great saves.

Sorry, I'll ask their approval next time...

BaZ87 · 9 Oct 2008 at 20:44

You could have battered us towards the end of the game that day. Rooney and Ronaldo both missed (well Reina saved) a couple of one on ones.

Another point on Reina. Had it not been for his performances we'd be out of the CL by now; made several top draw saves in the 2 Liege games.

On the subject of LB's, A.Cole has moved up a level since Scolari has taken over.
I never used to mind when Bridge was starting as I always thought he was the better attacker but now that's not the case, the freedom he's now got has seemed to make him relax and enjoy himself again

He has improved shed loads I have to say, it's a 3 way race now definitely.

No. I just found it mightily ironic.

da_mic_1530 · 9 Oct 2008 at 21:18

straight off no thinking at all...well a little

Reina

Sagna Terry Ferdinand A Cole

Ronaldo Deco Gerrad nzogbia

Tevez Viduka (just because sometimes he is awesome with his back to goal)
