KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum phil jones vs sebastian coates

If Vidic is healthy I wonder if Phil Jones will even start for the scum.

Probably, he is doing a better job than Ferdinand. Jones can partner Vidic. That guy is a talented, talented player.

My feelings entirely - yet at the time I thought it was ridicolus that we were trying to outbid United for him

He never looked that soecial to me when he played for Blackburn but like Ashley Young, the start to his United career must has exceeded even his own expectations

Credit where it's due - he looks like a cracking player

Somehow players always up their game when they join United.

They will go back to Ferdinand and Vidic when they are both fit. We can only compare when Coates has had a good run of games in the side.

This is ridiculous someone said jones is a regular for united but if we have the two startin Cbs missing Coates is a starter for us
also someone said how lethal Jones was playing for united!!
what he goes foward and leaves spaces at the back they may be winning but they are also conceding a lot
also coates has played 1 epl game
judge lest they be judged

Is the experienced premier league player Jones on the same level as coates? who has played not even one full game of the premier league?

No, obviously Jones will be miles ahead of him. But I think coates has the potential to be much better than Jones,Hopefully his desire and work rate is similar to that of Suarez.

I thought Phil Jones was the one taking alot of blame for the draw vs Basel. Maybe he just had a bad game. I hope he does start because I think Suarez can make him look like his feet are stuck in quicksand.

isnt jones pretty quick for a CB?

Yes I tink so.

He definitely is much more mobile than the average CB. The only one we have that can be compared to him right now is Dagger, and he's injured all the time!
