HawK Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Janmaat did do quite a bit of this 'quarterback-role' towards the end of his time here. Where Trippier tends to stay wide and look for the overlapping run, Janmaat would drift inside with the ball and ping ping long to the far-post area quite frequently. Probably the most similar player to Trips on the ball in terms of style, but a chasm in quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Janmaat was a proper wing back. Awful at defending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t have a good time with injuries but was pretty solid when he played. Carr was utter gash for us, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 If Babayaro had a brother to lose before every game he played, he'd have been the best left back in PL history. In my time following Newcastle, I'd rate our right backs (and frequent stand-ins that I can remember) something like this, without giving it very much thought admittedly: 1. Trippier. Not even close. 2. Beye 3. Debuchy 4. Barton 5. Watson 6. Janmaat 7. Manquillo 8. Krafth 9. Hughes 10. Carr 11. Solano 12. Griffin 13. Edgar 14.

Had he played like that every game for us he'd have been considered one of the best left backs ever in the league. How is that out of order? Hughes was a center back playing as a make shift right back for us. His best form came when he moved to Fulham and got to play in his natural position. For us he played in a better team, but no way was he better individually as a right back than those three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a list I made very quickly without too much thought behind it. I may have pushed Solano a bit too far down as I can't remember having much negative to say about his performances, but didn't want to put him too high either just because it's Nobby fucking Solano who deserves to be top of most lists regardless of what they are about. As you said, his competition for that spot wasn't shit hot either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
