You missed Ryan McGivern from that list......yeah right. How far have we come since the left side of him and Woolford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Drysdale would get the nod defensively, Bell as a crosser if the ball, but Joe gets the nod as an attacking threat. Cooper probably won the most free kicks by using his nous and experience to run into the back of wingers Thresher, as someone mentioned may have been the best but I don’t remember seeing him. Apparently he once marked the legendary Stanley Matthews out of the game. Mike Summerbee named him as the hardest player he ever faced. He remarked that while playing for Swindon, Thresher had sent him to the stands 3 times in the first 5 minutes. Yes...Mike Thresher did mark Stanley Matthews out of the game....I was there....but can’t remember if it was a League game or an FA Cup game.

stephenkibby. Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 He doesn't lack much. Cant remember many of our fantastic list of left backs being as two footed as Bryan. His ability to score from open play has not been matched by any fullback I can remember. Odd lack of concentration but that's it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Did you steal @reddogkev's book of thread title ideas, @Robbored? And yes very good today - seems to have added lots of controlled aggression to his play this season. Really good player and it's brilliant to see him blossom this season.

RT's Vaseline Tub Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 As Chris Honor said the other day on RB he seems to play beneath himself he’s that good. All comes very easy to him now and easily PL class in the £25m + bracket for his ability and age and what is yet to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Some of his touches today were beyond sublime. And that primal scream goal celebration was something else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hantsred Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 In reality who remembers great wing backs for their defensive qualities? Therefore think its a bit wrong to judge Joe on his defensive qualities if we are comparing apples with apples. Barnard, Bell and Scott were the stand out players from my memory ... all fantastic players who all benefited from linking up with Tinnion on the left but all stand out because they were so potent in attacking and goal contributions. I couldn't tell you how well they defended. Anyway to me Joe in current form wins hands down as there is so much versatility to his game and where he could play..... but lets not shout it out too loud!

Pickle Rick Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Easily best position is LB. That ‘debate’ should hopefully be over. As for defensive qualities, he knows his strengths and purposely stands off most opponents as he near always beats them at any 1:1. You can watch him individually and see his class. Top LB and hopefully a top move for him in the summer if we don’t go up. He deserves to further himself and hopefully play for England one day to prove himself again.

I think he is the one player who will only move IF the club want to sell, and it will need to be for mega bucks. He strikes me as being the least money orientated of our footballers, Bristol born and bred, part of a close family unit, willing to chip in for those less fortunate. He has clearly matured this season and is the best left back outside the Prem, no question, and if you watched £30M Luke Shaw last night what price would you put on Joe's head?

WayOutWest Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 The guy has it all. Worth at least a Kodjia if not more. Quality left back, has versitility, the right temperament. He is still improving!! Enjoy him whilst we have him. Credit our coaching staff. Turned league 1 players into top class championship players and beyond. Flint Pack Reid Bryan Brownhill All attracting the attention of clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzos Only Goal Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 The have always thought he was destined for better things when I seen him play against Watford he was only a boy then and was one of our best players. What he's done over the years is add flexibility to his game and consistency. He's worth his weight in gold and the best left back we have ever had.

Was superb today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardy Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 He certainly has the most potential as far as any City lb's i have seen. Is there many better lb's in the Premiership? Seen it with my own eyes that he looked levels above 30 million, England left back Luke Shaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as he’s been this season, today there were two occasions where he let himself down. Baker’s red Card - just stood on the touchline, made no attempt to help Baker out Second half - just trotted back as QPR broke down his side. He did have a good game today. Think he got given MOTM on the ground. Took his goal well too. Wasn’t easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
