Jack Robinson

[_00_deathscar]

Flanagan's got one, and Jack Robinson deserves one too!

 

Not that I've seen many youth team games, but from what I've seen and heard, Jack Robinson is actually the better of the two. Add in the fact that he's younger and quicker (and to me looks more composed) and we've got a heck of a player here.*

Having Spearing Flanaghan and Robinson in the side playing so well and Kenny as manager.

 

It's like a beautiful, beautiful dream

[John am Rhein]

What number does Jackie Robinson have?

 

Ought to be 42

[cocknose]

Robinson is definitley the better player

[Ombudsam]

Flanagan's looked better in the actual first team

[schmuckdonald]

Flanagan's looked more assured, but Robinson looks capable of doing more. Both doing very well considering their age.

they're actually the same age, born in the same year that is though flanagan is ca 9 months older

[Big Red Machine]

I think Flanagan has looked better in the first team because he's been playing with someone in front of him, which has let him get forward more too.

 

We basically don't have anyone playing left mid as it stands so Robinson (is rightly) being more conservative.

What a truly apesh1t, off the wall, teapot and all other kinds of crazy season it has been

 

 

Thank Dalglish for Dalglish

[Logic]

Thank Dalglish for Dalglish

Tsk tsk.... shouldn't that be Thank Robbie Fowler for King Kenny?

[Hassony]

Better than Maldini

[Maldini]

I wouldn't say one is better than the other yet, they're both excellent prospects with different playing styles. Robinson is like Aurelio, composed and classy and Flanagan is like Gerrard when he played full back, flying into tackles and getting forward

 

Better than Maldini

 

I should hope so

[Earl Hafler]

Robinson is like Aurelio

 

Let's bloody hope not !

[Epic Swindle]

Robinson is definitley the better player

 

They're both still only 18 and learning the game, bit early for rash judgements. I'm sure both will develop into good solid full backs with their own stand out attributes.

[KD07]

I'd like to see both working on their crossing in the meantime. Excellent prospects, them both. Trumps the Brazilian fanny twins anytime.

As any parent of a young child will know, Jack Robinson is the name of the kid that Mr Cool takes on all the cool adventures in the Mr Men books.

 

Not really relevant or anything though.

steady now ffs.

[Clay Davis]

Always preferred Robbo to Flanno when I saw them at reserve level, love full backs who can pass the ball, and I think Maldini is right with the Aurelio comparison. Flanno though has really, really impressed me. He's been absolutely class. As for Robinson, I think we'll bring in a left back this summer and Robbo can be his understudy. I think that'll be great for him, with him getting the League Cup and (fingers crossed) Europa League games. Always resent him a bit though, as his name is very similar to mine, and he goes/went to the school down the road from my old one. But its him not me. Prick.

[Hassony]

I hate the fact that I am old enough to be Robinson's father

Just compared them on yesterday's performance on the guardian chalkboards feature. Interesting results.

[Farmer's Tan]

i think robinson has an advantage of raw pace over flanagan which gives him a big advantage.i dont think flanagan would have handled walcott as well as robinson did.Flanagan had carra babysitting and kuyt working his a*** off as per usual where as robinson had meireles and maxi yesterday,not exactly the same cover.I can see flanagan having difficulty with very pacey wingers.

Think Flano is a bit more developed physically, Robbo still looks like a skinny kid.

[allez les rouges]

Flannos short first time forward passes are boss. Very composed on the ball when sorounded by lots of players. Very impressive.
