He has the potential to be a very good LB, his tenacity is similar to Cole unfortunately he has a mouth to match but Liverpool are interested and apparently AVB said he is going nowhere if read it correctly
the fact that the sunderland fans were chanting his name after the game, proves he should be given a chance for me.
He can't really have done any more to prove himself can he?
Not sure he was ever given a 1st chance? Always been back up to benny?
We used 3 left backs last year and none of them nailed the spot for next year imo.
Rose had a good season by all accounts and i think he desereves chance
My opinion on Rose changes daily, but right now i think he's exactly what we need. If we're to switch to a 4-3-3 next season we need a pacy left back who's comfortable going forward. Rose is a former midfielder/winger turned left-back, so he will be VERY comfortable doing that. He's far from perfect though and I have 2 main concerns with him: his passing ability, and his actual defending, the latter of which is a pretty major concern for someone who's position primarily entails defending. When i watched him for Sunderland it seemed he was too careless with the ball and gave it away more than i'd liked to see. His defending also wasn't as good as it should've been. I'm not sure if it was just the games i watched, or if that was a normal thing, but if he can work on those two things this summer i think he'll impress everyone simply because of his ability to go forward and he'll have a very good shot at becoming our starting LB.
It's funny how spurs fans + sunderland fans opinions contrast on him. Spurs fans just think he's shit and want rid, but sunderland fans think he's the greatest left back they've ever had and believe he's a future star. When it comes to this matter, i think i'll trust the opinions of fans whom have watched him for a year over those who's experience with him is limited and are notoriously knee-jerky when it comes to these kind of things.
