A thread about Riise.

[Harv]

Please Rafa never play him at LB again.

He is terrible when Agger isn't there to cover his ass. Hyypia just doesnt have the pace anymore to be covering Riise's man.

I know he is well and truely capable of hitting a long range creamer....but does he have to line up a shot every time he gets within 30yards of goal.

Arbeloa and Finnan have to be our two fullbacks when fit. Riise is a liability

I'd have Arbeloa and Aurelio before Riise for the left back position. But I would put JAR close to starting on the wing behind Babel and maybe just ahead of Leto

Yeah but he has a really really hard shot

Aurelio is our best left back, followed by Riise. I like Riise a lot, as much as he has some deficiencies position wise, he's been a mainstay of our team for 6 years now. He still needs to improve if he wants to win another contract though as Rafa is clearly not satisfied of that position.

I'm sick to the back teeth seeing people criticizing individuals when football is a TEAM game. (Not aimed at you Harvey ) There's an excellent article from Wenger in the Guardian today which people should read.

He's not good enough for me.

We now have better options in his positions...

Aurelio, Arbeloa and probably even Insua are better LB options. Kewell, Aurelio, Babel and Leto are better LM options.

Hopefully Rafa will sell this useless piece of **** as soon as possible.

well said mate. I honestly can't remember the last good game he had for us. He's absolutely hopeless. Every time he get the ball at the back all he does is just hoof it forward. Its as if he's still being coached by GH

[Shaggy]

He's rubbish. Our weakest link.

[andyinswinton]

I'd have Riise in the squad but he would only play due to injuries or suspensions to others.

I'd really like to see us strengthen on the left hand side during the January transfer window because I'm still not convinced about Aurelio. Arbeloa has been great this season but he is effectivley covering 3 positions at the back.

[cobain]

Riise is shockingly poor this season.

He may not be having his best season this year, but to call him a useless piece of ****? He's more of a red than you will ever be.
