Right Back







Similar to Left Backs Right Backs have an integral role to play in both attack and defense . Making off-the-ball runs into spaces down the channels and supplying crosses into the opposing penalty box and defending their territory are all in the days work .


My Nominees are :

1. Bacary Sagna :Taking over the number 3 shirt from Ashley Cole after his departure to Chelsea Sagna has fitted in perfectly with Arsenal's way of play . With great pace and power this Arsenal right back is one to be reckoned with . Now a regular with the French first team Sagna has come a long way .


2. Vedran Ćorluka : Ćorluka scored his first Premier League goal for Tottenham during a 2-2 draw against Bolton on 3 October 2009. With consistently good performances since the start of the season Ćorluka can only improve .


3.
José Bosingwa da Silva : A great attacking right back whose off the ball runs have helped unlock many defenses in the Premier league . He attracted attention from the German Giants Bayern Munich who failed in their attempts of signing him .


4.Glen Johnson : This guy has been on fire right from the start of the season . Hes a man on a mission to prove something . Hes been coming up with crucial goals for Liverpool and when hes not scoring goals hes busy making darting runs , taking on the defense , winning penalties . What more can you ask from a right back and hes not shrugging off his defensive duties either .


My Verdict...without a shadow of a doubt :



Glen Johnson
