Enrique...

Not open for further replies.
Ryan won't join this thread until Enrique makes a mistake that leads to a goal. Or has a poor game even.

If Enrique continues to play the way he has been, although there aren't a lot of competition, he'll turn out to be the best left back we've had in 2 decades. I think so anyway. Who did we have in the early/mid 90's? Can't remember...
 
With Liverpool's recent signing of Jose Enrique and Joan Capdevila's increasing age and move to Portugal, do you see Enrique breaking though into the Spanish national team squad or first 11 in the coming season? Adam Bridger

GUILLEM SAYS: Capdevila was actually left out of Benfica's Champions League squad because of his weight. I'm surprised that Jose Enrique hasn't made it yet. They were using Alvaro Arbeloa against Liechtenstein at left-back and I don't understand why. I think it is just a matter of time before he makes the breakthrough now. It is a lot to do with Vicente del Bosque not travelling to England to see games and only watching them in all probability on the television; Newcastle weren't on TV a lot last season but Liverpool obviously will be this season. From what I've seen Enrique is definitely one of the best performers at Liverpool, so it is just a matter of time before he becomes an international player, in my view.
 
Enrique is one of the best left back we have. Speed, composure, close control, skill, short and long passing ability, crossing ability and a team player. He just need to improve in his positioning and heading ability.


Kenny has done a marvelous job in bringing him to us. Wish he will grow to become a better player for us in future.

He looks a very tidy player indeed and a complete steal and the price we paid.

Agreed, and I think there's more he'll show us as he feels more comfortable and adventurous.

Why the fuck do you need Ryan's seal of approval of Enrique's performance so far? Has the kid got a coaching badge or something?


When i say Enrique has been superb so far, he really is. You don't need a second opinion on it. My opinion has been scientifically proven by FIFA as being absolute FACT ©

Gary, please ignore our resident loon. Also note, his 'FACTS' were Luis Suarez isn't good enough, and "Freddy Adu is better than Wayne Rooney." Yes, Freddy "I barely make an impact in the MLS" Adu.
 
Just noticed this thread, soz.

He's been good. Comfortbale, nice on the ball, and has fitted in well.

I'm concerned about his defensive positioning, especially his ability to track runners - which was his achilles heel at Newcastle, and I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes against some decent opposition, as we haven't played anyone good yet, nor has he come up against anyone of any quality on the flanks.

Still, he's started well.

Yeh because Walcott isn't a notoriously difficult player for left backs to defend against.

You really think that? Walcott's speed alone makes him a handful. He always seems to cause full backs trouble when I've watched him.
 
He has his moments but over all I wouldn't say fullbacks shit their Kecks at the prospect of playing against him as he'll put in just as many anonymous performances over the season.
 
He's a good player and is a challenge for any full back. He's not the best in the league, but he's up there.

we are talking about THEO walcott, right? mr. blind alley, cul de sack, headless chicken, that theo walcott, rather than a walcott that plays in spain that none of us have seen?
 
[quote author=Ryan link=topic=46440.msg1398912#msg1398912 date=1316002948]
Walcott.

Fucking hell.
[/quote]

Interested to see how many wingers you think he'd struggle against, any particular names?

Yet his positioning and ability to track runners resulted in him being THE full back in the Premier League with the best defensive stats.
 
I could think of a few leftbacks that would/ have struggled with Walcotts pace, and most of them have played for us over the last few years

walcott is like babel, brainless. when you have that much pace, just kick the ball beyond the defender and then skin them. it's not rocket science but time and time again they end up just kicking the ball into the defenders legs.
