The Skipper 20,609 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 He's still underrated in my opinion.He's England's greatest left-back, he's probably been the best England player over the last decade and there's a good case for him being our greatest ever player. That might sound strong, but I can't think of any other Chelsea player who has been the best in their position in the world over a number of seasons. Possibly JT very few seasons back.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Yesterday was his best match all season despite him getting exposed most of the match. Great performance. Rambo and Blue Armour 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 am I alone in thinking Ashley doesn't attack as much lately ...The last time he was good going forward was 2010. He just doesn't have the legs he had to bomb up and down the flank for 90 mins nor can he cross like he used to. Still, I think his movement in the attack this season has helped to create space for our Wingers to exploit.

I think you mean his LACK of movement in attack ...but you say last was in 2010 he was still playing in an attacking mode last season Rambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus remember Malouda doing a lot of defensive work on the left side, helping Ash to feel safe when he went forward. We don't have such a player now which makes Cole restricted in his runs as he has to cover more ground on the left flank.

Amblève. 4,995 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 strange to see praise for mALOUSY but you are correct he was good in defenceNot only that, he was a good offensive player as well in 2009/10. His understanding with Ash was perfect, they just knew when they had to rotate. Blue Armour, Styles and Rambo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
