Best dribblers in the squad?

  1. Who, in your opinion, are the best 5 dribblers, in order, in the squad.

    Mine -

    1. Ben Arfa
    2. Enrique
    3. Jonas
    4. Tiote
    5. Ferguson

    It's hard to decide who's better between Fergie and Jonas, but since Jonas has been playing longer and proven himself i'll go for him, but Ferguson has done things which i've never seen Jonas do. I've never seen Jonas do what Fergie did at Stoke.

    Tiote better than Jonas <doh>

    (at the min I'd put Jonas top, havent seen enough of HBA)

  3. Actually, yeah he is, because Tiote completes almost all his dribbles, and Jonas fails most of his.

    Jonas top, wouldn't have Tiote in the top 5 though!

  8. I know it's your opinion, but Jonas isn't better than Jose as dribbling mate.

    I completely agree with Tiote, his short dribble are excellent. Complete's them every time with 2 or 3 men closing him down, uses his strength, turns then passes. But i think Jonas would have to be 1st as he manages to take the pressure off us with some of his dribbles and can beat players easily, if his final ball was better he'd be a great winger

    Looks like Jonas still hasn't learned how to wave properly.

    Ben Arfa would be top and everyone else would be so far behind it would be a waste of time ordering them.

    Boy has UNBAAALIEVABLE TEKKERZ!!

    Ferguson and Jonas can both dribble well too and from what you can see of Abeid he seems to like having a go, one for the future though.

    Jonas is arguably the best dribbler we have, which makes the fact that he has no end product all the more frustrating.

    I wouldnt put Tiote in the top 5, he keeps the ball, thats different to being able to dribble with it. I wouldnt expect Tiote to go on the sort of runs with the ball I'd see from Jonas or HBA.

    Are you a knobhead? Answer: yes.

    We're talking about the best dribblers here. The players who are the best at dribbling. Tiote rarely ever does it and I don't think he's particularly amazing at it. He gains us posession, makes good runs and makes great passes. Those are his strengths. Players like Jonas and HBA can dribble the ball and skip around multiple players. That's what makes them so good at it.

    dribbling 5m in a circle and laying off the ball is a lot different to dribbling 30m up the wing in the final third taking on three players.


    In other news, Im a better driver than lewis hamilton, because i've never crashed my car <doh>
