People here overrating new signings? I think that's very implausible.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

Has a great first touch, strength and pace. Wish he'd release the ball faster and not let players just cross the ball though. Hopefully he'll get better because he was class for the first 3 months or so.Vive la FranceComment

Dilva is a good left back. We should go for him. Has an excellent left peg.Are we winning?Comment

Think part of Enrique's problem is his reluctance to use his right foot which makes him over complicate and **** up.Comment

He's a ****ing thick ****er, Riise MKII, in fact he's worse than Riise, how many times will he make the same mistakes? We needed an experienced backup left back - scrap that we need one that will go directly in to the first team.We come not to play.Comment

if a defender cannot do a basic kick of the ball with either foot then they will prove to be a liability. enrique is looking ****ter every time i see him.
will he go in january or at the end of the season? but he MUST go...removing all the weak links makes us stronger
too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.Comment

My theory is that so many left backs are useless. A left-footed player can get further on the same amount of talent as a right-footed player because there's a shortage of left-footers (10% of the population but, ideally, 50% of the outfield players on a team). And if you're any good on the ball and/or read the game well then you get pushed forward into more creative roles. And if you're more defensively-minded and still can read the game etc. then you play central defender, giving that useful left/right CB balance. If you're too small to play CB but otherwise ok you might play left back.
But if you're tall enough to play centre back and yet still are only good enough for left back and totally one-footed too then you're pretty sh*t.
And if you're like that but fast and strong then you somehow get paid tens of thousands a week playing in the Premier League and your name is Jose Enrique.

yep, sounds about right.Originally posted by Neil Young View Post
i would sooner have a good defender at left back, no matter what foot they preferred.
even if it was a right footer, he must still be able to put out a left foot to intercept a right winger trying to go past him on the outside.removing all the weak links makes us stronger

In fairness to Enrique I don't think he is as **** as Riise was. Riise couldn't run with the ball for more than a couple of feet without the ball hitting his shin and going out of play.Never knowingly optimisticComment

Young Boy's best hope of a recovery was José Enrique, Liverpool's hatless defender.
Sahin and Jordan Henderson, supported by the industrious Suso, controlled midfield in the first half and Young Boys were unsettled by the manner of the opening goal but Liverpool's performance was undermined by their left-back all night. Enrique endured a poor second half to last season under Kenny Dalglish and, after an inauspicious beginning with Rodgers, this was opportunity to aid his recovery from a recent knee injury. It was a damaging process at times.
Enrique had already been beaten too easily by Zárate on the left, conceding a free-kick that Farnerud squandered, when he intercepted Bobadilla's burst into the penalty area. The Spanish left-back succeeded in beating the Young Boys striker to the ball but ran into his goalkeeper and then sent a woeful clearance across his own area to Raphael Nuzzolo. Despite Jones's best efforts, Young Boys were level.
That rug really tied the room together.Comment

Sorry mate, I could not disagree with u more. Riise was a far better LB than Enrique, much more of a threat going forward and knew his limits on the ball, ie he would release it early rather than dally on the ****er.Originally posted by Bryncoch View Post
Enrique is not even better than Bjornebye right now, or even Julian Dicks, **** not even Dossena.
