    I am happy with both players and not quite convinced that Ben edges it for me. on that article they are showing comparisons under 2 different managers asking different things of their players... Taylor was playing with Sinclair too which I recall countless times when Taylor would go flying past Sinclair on the wing only for Sinclair to do his usual predicted lets be selfish and try and cut inside the player - never would he tap it on to Tails...

    I'd like to see how Tails gets after a couple of games with Laudrup's style... only then would I be happy to pick who's on top.. Saying that though, great dilemma....

    Ben ,when he does go forward links up well with either Routledge or Pablo ,something which Swansman has said which was lacking with Sinclair,but to have two left footed quality full backs is a bonus .

    Ben has been a revelation this season and deserves to remain in the first team, It wont be long before the big clubs will show an interest in him anyway, I think laudrup wants him to play left center next season so i can see both playing...If ash does move to liverpool then its not going to be that bigger blow and if we can find a couple more defenders in the summer then we will be as strong as ever.....

    He could also play RW and cut inside to get a shot in - but does he (or Taylor) have a shot?

    I'm sure one of the Swans coaches said Ben has an absolute cannon of a left foot which we're yet to see...

    Tried to look at video this evening and get a gauge on Ben's height. I think he is a lot taller than he's given credit for and could play inside Taylor on the back line next to Chico. What a back line that would make over time.
