Ashley Cole joins coaching team

[Neiler]

Very good coach, wouldn’t say a great one!

There's an argument there were better footballers but not better athletes. Some of the conditions and pitches back then. Todays are mint condition carpets in comparison. A few factors come in when comparing the different era's.

It is faster now but the ball never used to be designed to swerve and dip of its own accord. Many players look better than they are because of the pitches and the ball.

We will find out soon enough if Duncan is correct about Mykolenko.
Cole will have him sussed by the end of next week.

Doubt Dunc said that. The moist maker, Lampard, keeps praising his work rate and interceptions in training it seems.

Not a child of Italia 90 mate.

He went into two teams established in terms of winning trophies, hardly up there with the Rumbelows Cup. How did he get on with England, damp kech it.

You think he was better than Philip Lahm, when you say he was the best left back in the world at the time, that amazes me.

Well lahm wasn't a left back, he was a full back, he played right back more than he played left back.

And yes Ashley Cole was better, Cole was phenomenal.

I wouldn't even argue back with you about it as people have opinions but the Stuart Pearce shout has killed me off

So just to clarify Lahm didn’t play left back and Ashley Cole was better.

Think we will agree to disagree mate.

Hopefully he’s a good coach though, if he proves a great one, I’ll call it.

Great appointment imo. In Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole, we have two proven winners involved with this club now. That is bound to have a huge effect, with regards to changing the losing culture/mentality of this club imo.

Ay? Didn't say that mate I said he played right back more than he played left back, so if anything he was a right back.

But ye agree to disagree on this, think you'll be in the very small minority on it though

Sound mate, I don’t mind that at all, you got to make your call if you genuinely think it, but respect everyones opinions, footballl is subjective, it’s why we are all here! Be good!

Hopefully he’s a good lid for us here now - but suspect Leighton may be better! lol

Some would argue his playing career might give us an indication on how he might perform as a Coach.
Some would also argue that most of the discussion in here is in theory "on topic", due to people actually, you know, discussing Ashley Cole.
Some might even argue that this is slightly excessive moderation.

Not me tho, not at all.

Koff. You have a post in here about Messi.
And many managers have shown that ability to play the game is not predictive of managerial success.


Great player in is his pomp. Time will tell as a coach. Hopefully he and the rest do well enough to get the time.

The big plus for cole was his pace. He was a top left back and the game against Ronaldo where Ronaldo couldnt burn him for pace really showed he was up there at that time as good as any.
Id say baines as an actual football player. Very close that one. I might even say baines was technically a bit better.
But i'd still choose cole.
Two very good left backs.

Couldn't argue with that mate.

 

[Nymzee]

I love Baines but best PL left-back? Nah, Cole and I’d say Evra come ahead of him. Amazing player still we were just blessed with full-backs for a time. Dennis Irwin too?

I seem to remember when Lukaku first joined on loan, after a few games in an interview he said to Jagielka we have something special here (the season we should have finished 4th) - and Jagielka laughed, that's the sort of winning mentality Jagielka had.

Romelu Lukaku claims Everton can win Premier League title

The first person Romelu Lukaku told was his father and agent, Roger. He phoned straight after his first training session as an Everton player and his voice shot through with excitement. “We did

Ignore the URL title, he didn't say win the prem.

Baines "best LB ever".

FFS, the world's gone mad. He couldn't even get close to a winger to stop a cross coming in.

Great appointment
Whether or not he sounds thick or had great players around him

He was a fantastic player and by all accounts a highly regarded coach and is fresh to the club with new ideas and a wealth of winning experience to share
