Mole_Toonfan Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 What a load of s***. A good player is a good player, it doesn't necessarily need any overriding context to quantify it. Nolan was a s*** player who was very good at scoring goals in both the CCC and the PL, no one really liked him but his goals made him bearable and he was a bit of a cult hero. Jose was simply a quality player in most things that he did. Hasn't exactly proved that since tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know that more than most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Even when he was picked he didn't look particularly outstanding, going back a while ago mind. Wouldn't be the first player to look good for a shit team and then suddenly go to shit. Also Jonas made Ryan Taylor look defensively secure back then.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 No he wasn't, Enrique was overrated because we were a shit, middle of the road team who just got promoted and we had no expectations. Same goes for Nolan and the rest of them at the time. I agree about the likes of Nolan but Enrique was quality. Good going forward and solid as a rock in 1-on-1 defending.

ujpest doza Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Beresford and Robbie Elliott were better than Enrique in my John Humble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Enrique was definitely a quality player for us, regardless of how we were at that point in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 He's much better than Beresford was man. I saw them both play and Enrique was far superior to Beresford IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Don't have a problem with that really, why should he go and get paid less somewhere else? To actually play football I would suggest. I always liked him for us, was a decent player in a team of mediocrity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Enrique was better than both of them. There was a point where I used to actually enjoy a winger or full back try and run at him, because Enrique used to come out on top of any race or physical battle 9/10 times.

LFEE Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Loved both Beresford and Enrique. Both worked well with their wingers creating proper partnerships. Despite the success of the different eras I'd have Jose coming out on top. Elliott was a clear level or two below them both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Enrique was probably the best player at the club, along with Colo, for the two seasons prior to him leaving. Brilliant player, would absolutely have him back even after apparently losing his shit at Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Before he left in '97 Elliott looked a real prospect I thought. Had the makings of a good attacking full back. Not sure how it all went wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Enrique is an immense one on one defending full back. His only weakness, during his prime, is his positioning during offside trap. Other than that he is one of the best left back in the world. Sadly his physique has gone and now, honestly, he's just shit. Shitter than Haidara probably.

Not sure how it all went wrong. I reckon it was a purple patch. He was instantly pretty rubbish for Bolton. That goal at Highbury though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Maybe. Wiki has him down a scoring 9 goals for us before leaving the first time. That suggests a bit of attacking promise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Beresford was a very good attacking LB, better than Enrique, but defensively Enrique was superb and not many got past him. I'd rate Bernard higher though of all the left-backs we've had, in terms of all-round game. Elliott was very promising especially going forward. Domi for me had the biggest potential though.

I would imagine a few of those were in midfield- the winner at Highbury certainly was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
