Who would you say are the three best left backs in the world?

[New York Red]

Just looking for your opinions. Name your best three in no particular order.

 

I'd like to go through every position eventually.

[Hassony]

A cole

Grosso

Lahm

 

 

although i haven't seen much of Grosso since the world cup

[SkippyjonJones]

me - but I'd rather play on the right.....

[Ste M]

A cole

Grosso

Lahm

although i haven't seen much of Grosso since the world cup

 

I'd have put Heinze above at least one of those and would put Zambrotta's name at the top of any list.

[Rimbeux]

Cole

 

Zambrootta

 

Lahm

 

 

I think Heinze is struggling to get back his full physical capacity and may not be the same player again, his power was something else.

[Guest JV]

Cole

 

Zambrootta

 

Lahm

about right.

 

Though Grosso's quality aswell.

1. Zambrotta

2. Lahm

3. Cole

I like those three myself...

[Sion]

Zambrotta and Lahm are the only two I rate that highly

 

Find Cole severely over-rated myself.

[Stevie H]

paolo maldini

juan pablo sorin

gareth bale

Cole is as good a left back as he is a c**t.

 

He's top three, easy.

i agree

[Hassony]

I was saving Zambrotta for the RB position

[Maldini]

Heinze

Zambrotta

Abidal

[Scally Bob]

I rate Heinze but why isn't he first choice for the Munsters?

[Hassony]

he has been very average this season. Evra has been much better IMO

[Flanders]

Maybe not right now, but on form...

 

Cole, Heinze & Zambrotta.

 

A full back has to offer something on the overlap at the highest level.

loads of rumours hes on his way.

 

Heinze

Evra

O'Shea

[techmob]

what about Carlos?

 

surely he is top 3 if not top?

You must be joking.

 

Zambrotta

Lahm

Abidal

Zambrotta

I'd go with something like that, although Maldini and Cole are both honourable mentions. So is Heinze if he rediscovers his firm.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

I dont have much time for Ashley Cole - dont overly dislike the guy or have any issue with him but I dont rate him as a great LB.

[magneto]

John Arne Traore

[_00_deathscar]

John Arne Finnan would be.
