Ashley Cole

He's probably still the best LB in the world.

I thought he was wonderful against Bayern, real asset to the team

[JDY 1,290]

One of the worst performances I've ever seen from him. Literally couldn't do anything right.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Looks clueless on the ball. He's always been a liability in the build-up but that was shockingly bad. Bertrand should be given a chance.

Was frequently outnumbered by Everton attackers and that got to him.

yes bad day in the office for Cole, but he was having was constantly under pressure by the electric Coleman. Same way Jelavic was a handful for both Luiz and Terry.

[zolayes 14,489]

he was taken off and replaced by Torres cos we have the ONLY manager with the balls to do that .. Ash did have a poor game . He has about 3 poor games out of 60

[Amblève. 4,995]

The lack of activity in this thread compared to others is shocking. Especially after such an embarrassing performance by Ash.

United failed in their attempt to get Baines. I would do anything to have him next season. Cole will be 33 and in Baines we have someone who will help our attacking duties and also have a good defender as well.

cole has run out of steam i think. he really struggles to get on the end of simple through balls these days. still a top defender though

[kellzfresh 7,228]

Was his worst attacking peformance I have ever seen in his career, left hazard isolated every time. Horrible!!

[The Skipper 20,593]

Really bad today. Looks like the England games took its toll on him. Hindsight comment but Bertrand would've definitely been better today simply because he brings more offensively IMO.

Not just the England games, he previously played all our 5 games before that and yet Mourinho didn't even look to rest him like he did with Lampard today. And he'll probably start the next 2 games before Bertrand gets a look in for the match against Swindon.

Paying the price of Jose not rotating players in the first four matches. Same could go for hazard who looked tired and not 100% fit.

Should have rotated Cole for Ryan, just like Lampard was dropped for Mikel, I guess.

This week's CL line-up will be interesting...it should give an idea about how Jose plans to use the squad this season.

Needs a rest. Bertrand is easily capable of filling in, as we saw at the end of last season when Ashley got injured. Time to space out Ashley just like Lampard

Jose already said in an interview on CTV that he will rotate players for the CL. But then again he said he would for the first 4 games of the season but didn't.
