    I'd say Jurgen always planned to plays the kids , were as Villa would've went full strength. So hopefully it will be more a level playing field.

    Scotland are poor you know that !

    I never said Robbo is the best in the world I dont watch enough foreign leagues to say.

    He is the best in England at the minute ironically the next best is Tierney.
    Fair do's

    Seriously guys - don’t do this to yourselves. Germany beat Brazil 7:1 - it was one game of football. If you want to define Marcelo by that game then you have an agenda.

    Marcelo: won 22 trophies including four UEFA Champions Leagues, (being elected to the Squad of the Season three times) as well as five La Liga titles. He has been named to the FIFPro World XI six times, the UEFA Team of the Year three times and La Liga's Team of the Season in 2016.

    Let’s hope Robbo’s career is half as good eh..
    6 years to win 3 CL and 4 PL titles is a tall order. Here's hoping

    Maybe Robbo should get a reduced expectation of CL & PL titles given Marcelo will have played for Real for 14+ years.

    Do think he is currently the best left back going as he's providing end product and the farmer is a more resolute defender than the ballet dancer.

    Went at 18 years old mate - to the Bernebeu.

    Majority of his time in the first team was while Barcelona has their greatest ever squad.

    Difficult to knock Marcelo in all honesty. The guy is one of the greatest ever LB’s...

    True, still a better club for winning top titles than Dundee United or Hull.

    Yeah, there's no doubting he's a great player.
    Just whether he is presently the better left back.

    Would have to be more resolute in defending BUT is he as effective overall..? Is anyone going to compare him with Messi and Ronaldo in their pomp.. as Marcelo was.? Naah

    Marcelo far better on the ball - beat a man with skill while maintaining composure and the ability to play fantastic short passes a Robbo weakness - incredible pin point crossing - wonderful strike of the ball - incisive in the tackle. Win possession and turn defence into attack. I could go on and on and on. They are different players - and Robbo is fantastic too - However he looks way better than Trent at defending - which hardly the best of indicators.

    Well Dundee were the only side willing to take a punt on him at 18 - but naturally they have a similar standard to Real..

    Right now - well it is a little unfair as Robbo in his prime and Marcelo certainly ain’t - but him and Alba better footballers in all honesty. Robbo probably best in the Prem.
