Best Left Back?

[Sherwin]

L. Tomlinson of the San Diego Chargers. Oh that's right we are talking about futbol not football. Well in that case Roberto Carlos hands down my friends. He has shown consistency and the guy just could make long range missile shots into the net.

Want to talk about world cups?

Roberto Carlos played in every game during the 2002 World Cup and won it.

A great player is shown when he can shine without the opprotunity of staying in a club such AC Milan for 24 years.

The only thing Carlos ever did was create the modern Wing Back. Which i am greatful for cause it revalutionised the game.

however the better player was Maldini. He was a solid rock who did the job he was given with a minimum fuss.

R.Carlos was a liability at the worst of times and the best example was the 98 World cup when he was at fault for both Zidane goals. There were many times when he was caught out of position.

R.Carlos may have been the more exciting player but Maldini was by far the better Left Back or Left "defender" as it is known as.

agree with everything...but i dont think carlos was to blame for either of the goals vs france in 98

Roberto Carlos is a lot more flash than substance. Maldini is the greatest LB by far I would not consider R.Carlos top 3, however he certainly did entertain me more than any other LB.

[doober]

roberto carlos, most definately.
maldini's good, but roberto carlos is the best leftback we've seen, in my opinion.

[186forever]

Pauolo maldini was also a CB but even as LB I picked him over Carlos.....
Carlos comes forward way too much and he has also given so many "sooties" in big tournoments like vs. France in 98 and again vs. france in 06..
but maldini is a better man marker and has a better defensive mind

R.C is probably the best left back the world had ever seen.
Maldini undoubtedly a legend, but ill go with R.C!
