[Nobby Cybergoat]

It's close, but i'd 100% have him over Shaw

I would too but maintain nevertheless that Shaw is a good player.

Just be thankful that Shaw is at Liverpool, Robertson at Liverpool and Chelsea probably want nothing to do with any of our players anymore - otherwise Pervis would be yet another Albion player being linked to a January move.

Think you meant Shaw at ManU

At Manure.

 

[Simster]

Thank you chaps. We'll see him struggling to cope with Solly March for Man Utd next week.

 

[Weststander]

Robertson has 57 PL assists with brilliant crossing, at the same time he's an effective defender.
Trent 55
Trippier 25
Chilwell 18
Shaw 17

Estupinan's only just started his journey but he appears the match of any PL left back, 7 assists already and a good defender.

Probably nothing between Estupinan and Robertson just now.

 

[Mellotron]

Shaw - 19 assists across his entire career. Massively overrated IMO.

 

[Bridcutt]

Not even saying this because he's a Palace player but what is Tyrick Mitchell doing in that list? Bizarre

Where is Rico Henry too? Miles better than both Mitchell and Tavares

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

There is a bit of a difference between playing for us and playing for others as some of our recent departures are finding.

With us they have been congratulated for playing well and hyped (perhaps over hyped), flaws tend to get ignored. When the move has taken place they are expected to play well and are highlighted when they do not.

When we don't want to sell a player the price is set on the basis of a guy being on top of his game, like a golfer's handicap, a figure that is sometimes achieved, but quite often not! There are bound to be disappointments.

 

[Lethargic]

Robertson has lost his edge and some pace now, Shaw is so overrated, Zinchenko is decent, Chillwell would be higher if he wasn't made of spaghetti and what about Rico Henry?

Personally I wouldn't take anyone over Pervis.

 

[Mad as my Mother]

There's no one I'd rather have in his position than Pervis.

 

[Beanstalk]

I love Pervis and I'm soooo glad we've got him, but Andy Robertson has consistently proven himself to be one of, if not the best left backs in the world. He's won absolutely everything at Liverpool. He's only missed 17 PL games in six seasons. He's flawless and any side would be mad not to choose him if they could.

Yep - particularly good pass to Bellingham last night.

 

[Seecider]

Where is Cucu ?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Went with Robertson (yes, I know, bad fan), but normally Robertson is a reliable defender for Liverpool, and IMO stronger than Pervis in that respect. Pervis switches off a little sometimes when tracking back, see West Ham.

Pervis probably shades it going forward, but overall, not loads in it, and Robertson does cross a good ball.

Do I want Robertson in our team though? No. Pervis suits our style more.

 

[Questions]

Where is Cucu ?

Probably number 1 on the list of most expensive left backs in the world.

 

[Weststander]

Where is Cucu ?

All at sea.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Thank you chaps. We'll see him struggling to cope with Solly March for Man Utd next week.

We won't. Well if we did, he definitely WOULD struggle - he's out for 10 weeks with a muscle injury.

March will be up against Reguilon, most likely.

I think RDZ could make great use of Robertson, he can play the game, he's a creative player. He certainly has far more pace (as a FB) than Gross or Milner, who RDZ's dabbled with as FB's.

It reminds of that brief Albion period watching the Ferrari of left backs Wayne Bridge.
