Bruce - Bardsley first choice left back

It's a fact, in the absence of a specialist LB, Bardo is our No1 LB.

There is an argument for Richadson as an attacking wing back but defensively Bardo is the only option. Some of the new signing could possibly cover LB but I wouldn't see any of them as a long term opition.
No, he isn't.
 
Aye he was very solid. Fair enough he had a couple of bad games but he still deserved his player of the year award. And players' player of the year award

He had numerous bad games and was at fault for even more goals conceded. If he's any more than back up then Bruce has serious problems.
 
You're fuckin hilarious you. Fuckin fanny

In response to someone complaining that he had to cut inside all of the time, you said that he cuts inside, shoots and scores. This has only ever been true once in Bardsley's career at Sunderland (I think his other 2 goals this season were from right back and a freekick, and the only other goal i can remember is his scrambled goal at Nottm Forest in the league cup although I could be corrected).

I took the piss out of this. Understandably. I apologise if you are under 12 and/or have a mental disability.

It wouldn't be as bad if he didn't shoot at every conceivable moment, but every time he gets to about 30-35 yards out and can't be bothered to continue building our attack he takes a shot, completely wasting any forward momentum we had.

Boils my piss when I see him thinking he has the long-range shooting abilities of Scholes and Ronaldo.
 
Bruce used having a RB playing LB as an excuse during the blip last season, although he had been playing him at LB for months.

That's lies

Its because his left foot is poor and his touch isnt good enough to be able to handle the more crowded centre of the pitch when he cuts inside. So he just hits it. Completely understandable IMHO - thats what i'd do - my left foot and touch arent good enough either ;)

And is now praising his performances there/lining him up as our first choice in the position...
 
He played there most of last season and so far we haven't got a LB in so who is a better option.

That doesnt mean he can defend though?

Richardson was needed elsewhere (due to injuries) and then got injured himself.

Bardsley had no competition for his place at all. Thats the reason he played.
 
He is an unstoppable attacking force man. Cuts inside, shoots, scores. FACT.

Its strange that he only decided to do it once or twice like - but he can do it whenever he likes. Especially when he cuts inside and shoots. He always scores then.

Our tactics next season should be "give Phil the ball, then he can cut inside, shoot and score" - we'll win every game by the number of goals he decides he's going to score.

Cuts inside, shoots, scores. Every time. What a legend.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

On a more serious note, anyone who thinks Phil Bardsley is a solid defender clearly doesn't understand what quality defending is and are mistaking it for winning tackles.

So, did Bruce say he is first choice next season?

No. He just said that he did a good job last season and is very strong on his left foot. Although, I must admit, the overall tone and delivery of his answer did seem to strongly suggest that he was leaning towards the idea. Worrying.

Bruce did say Richardson would only stay here as a left back before playing him just about every position but that, so hopefully its just another Bruce talking for talkings sake. As myself and others have said, he actually used the Bardsley at left back situation as an excuse for our bad form at one point :lol:
