Our Fullbacks

[DFF]

...are not Top 4 material.

I don't care how many times Walker bombs down the right, very rarely does he have a meaningful end product. He relies too much on his speed to recover after leaving us exposed down the right. He has Top 4 athleticism, but Relegation Fodder brains.

As for Rose, well he doesn't even offer the attacking intent of Walker, but he leaves us exposed anyway.

Dummies the both of them.

And before anyone says it, this is not a kneejerk thread. They've had enough time to prove themselves, and they haven't.

Who would you get to replace Walker?

Agreed, if we're spending 100m on players, we shouldn't have Walker and Rose as 1st choice. I appreciate they're English and it's always good to have one of your own playing, but they just both aren't good enough for a top 4 team which is where we want to be, as backups fine but first choice no no. Also Dawson should only be near the team on Thursday nights.

 

[WiganSpur]

Rose was good today, the goal was primarily Dawson's fault.

 

[Armstrong_11]

i actually felt both Walker and Rose each saved us form conceding a 2nd goal. Rose did brilliantly one on one again Giroud, and Walker with Monreal.

both are young and still have alot to learn.

 

[Legend10]

Complete knee jerk thread!

 

[Scot-Spur]

Harsh they are both young! Walkers final ball is poor but then again he did well today in the 1st half to spot Soldado's run when the ball ended hitting the defender!

He's athletic gets up and down and cause there left sides player to be dragged back to cope!

On the other side Rose I have never particularly thought was good enough for us, but I thought he done alright today gets lost positioning wise but he hasn't always been a lb so is still learning!

I'd rather have Walker and Rose over Jenkinson and Gibbs!!

 

[absolute bobbins]

Rose can share some of the Blame for the goal with Dawson but I was satisfied (just) with Walker today.

Who would you get to replace Walker?

Good question, looking forward to his answer.

 

[Tottenham_God]

Some of our supporters need to get a grip.

 

[ajspurs]

The annoying thing with Walker is that he just game after game does stupid things. It's more a mental issue with him, the ability is there.

 

[TheChosenOne]

I said elsewhere - " Walker goes at 100mph but doesn't actually get anywhere - needs to get to Specsavers asap. Dawson- great strong heart but ability is lacking."

 

[Legend10]

The FB's were the least of our problems today.

 

[werty]

Who would you get to replace Walker?

Never going to happen, but I'd love us to sign Coleman. Better offensively and defensively than Walker.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Who would you get to replace Walker?

Zouma

 

[beats1]

Rose was good today, the goal was primarily Dawson's fault.

and Vertonghen he was at fault at the goal as well

 

[DFF]

Good question, looking forward to his answer.

I'm sure Baldini knows a few. It is his job after all, not mine.

 

[Blake Griffin]

i thought they were two of our best players.

 

[Dr Know]

Although I think Walker can be a liability (continued same as last season) we're only 3 games into the season. Let's talk about this in Jan

Who would you get to replace Walker?

Do like Seamus Coleman, really consistent in his game.
