Renton 23169 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 To say you it's not valid to compare two left-wingers because they may have some different attributes is bollocks though Renton. By mentioning the fact they have different qualities you already are comparing them. 101207[/snapback] Well yes, you can compare them in the same way you would Bellamy and Shearer then.

Would you play Robert and N'zogbia in the same team wide-left - no. Therefore comparing the former is different to comparing the latter in this context.

Genius on his day but could be very frustrating. I can't think of anyone who has split toon fans as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice try though. 101221[/snapback] Well OK I think we both know where we're coming from here. As you rightly point out you can compare any players in the same position, but what I'm saying is they (Robert and N'Zogbia) play in a very different way so expect a very different type of performance. Hope that's cleared up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I take in the points you're saying Renton, but I would argue that the rot with Robert set in under Robson, not Souness. Robert's actually upped his game under Souness when we went on that winning run when he first came in...then he got complacent again. I'll never question Robert's ability, but his attitude was poor.

Alternatively you could always play Robert up front or just behind the front man. Then there's the old debate of whether Zoggy could do a job as a LB...
