José Enrique - Best Liverpool LB in the modern age

[Nicey]

Folks I just wanted to throw some love Enrique's way I have only been following Liverpool seriously since the days of the Ged & Evans days. I cannot think of a LB in that time that comes remotely near to Enrique. In terms of overall play, I would certainly say is is the best LB in the country right now and I cannot think of many LB of the course of the Premiership years that were or are better than him.

Apparently no defender has shielded more balls out of play than him. I have never had more faith in a defender, the ball seems to just stick to his feet and he is just so composed on the ball.

One of the best signings since Hypia in my opinion. I know he is appreciated but I think he is flying under the radar a little in terms of just how good he actually is. Its no accident that Johnson looks so much better these days or the defense is the best in the lg, incredibly balanced back four now

Judging by the size of his Arms we should have a song for him to the Tune of Hulk Hogans I am a Real American

Hes.......... a Real Spanish Gem!, Fight for the Ball off every Team
Hes.......... a Real Spanish Gem!, Fight for the Ball Fight for the Ball !!!!

Enrique comes bombing down, and he cuts inside,
We all take a stand, defenders run and hide,

Well, you hurt his friends, or you hurt my side,
Hes gotta be a the man; He can't let it slide,

Hes.......... a Real Spanish Gem!, Fight for the Ball off every Team
Hes.......... a Real Spanish Gem!, Fight for the Ball Fight for the Ball !!!!

FLMAO at the mental song effort

Enrique is quality, have to say. Been such a reliable and well rounded player for us. Best fullback we've had since Babbel.

Old Sick note Aurilio when fit is just as good in defence and maybe a tad better when attacking.

I agree with everything bar the song reference.

We've got - and are developing - a strong, young(ish) and resolute back five who are all comfortable on the ball. I think it's safe to say we're building from the back and are going someway to replacing our ageing (and departed) spine and creating some sound foundations.

Enrique has looked accomplished from day one and maintained that consistency, long may it continue.

I think he's a great player and our best leftback for a long time. I do think he needs to improve his final ball and decision making though, the only thing lacking at the moment.
