Saint Garrett Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 Perhaps a vote mods? Personally think Chambers has passed Clyne this season but it's very close ! Chambers just seems to be the complete full back for me. Just needs to improve his crossing a bit more.
S-Clarke Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 Too very evenenly matched players. Clyne has the plus with his pace, but Chambers is so solid as well. Can't remember being in a position at this level by having 2 top players at full back.
Saint Charlie Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 Chambers is more authoritative and better in the air. Clyne superior in final third. Not a lot between them and a shame one of them wasn't also a CB.
SNSUN Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 The need to keep both, and to keep both sweet, is paramount. I wonder whether the decision to let Fox go was partly inspired by the progress Chambers has made this season - and the ability Clyne has to fill in at left back should the need arise...
ben05 Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 If I had to pick one it would be Chambers. Although I feel Pochettino will change depending on the opposition. I remember when we played Palace away in the championship Lambert really exposed Clyne's height.
Charlie Wayman Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 Clyne creates more when given free rein but he's lost a lot of match time this year and isn't quite as well tuned as last year.
St Chalet Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 On balance Clyne as I think he offers more going forward, Chambers looks the part. Poll added.
SaintSteve Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 Both very good young full-backs.. Chambers better defensively in the air, Clyne possibly more dangerous offensively.. just maybe Chambers could play in more than one position so we can play both at some point in the future
s0108787 Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 Both good for different types of opposition. No need to choose between them!
trousers Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 Both good for different types of opposition. No need to choose between them! This
ottery st mary Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 (edited) BOTH........two top class players pushing each other all the way.. Good for them and good for Saints. I am voting twice..... 50/50 for me. Edited 11 February, 2014 by ottery st mary
Smirking_Saint Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 I honestly couldnt choose right now Clynes slightely better going forward but not as good crossing, and Chambers is better at crossing and physically bigger and stronger. There isnt much between both defensively I dont think It really is an excellent position to be in. Chambers could end up as a CB IMO
sammysaint Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 Clyne hes a better one on one defender and has pace. Chambers has a better first touch and aerial ability, but gets exposed when people with pace run at him, also his lack of pace means when we try to counter it affects us, Chambers should only play when we play big teams like Stoke WHUFC etc, for me it Clyne plays 30 league games and Chambers plays 8 and cup games unless injury means he plays more.
Huffton Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 Both. Can easily interchange with other positions and if one buries himself one week the other can step in the following game. Absolutley vital to keep hold of both.
Jack Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 If Clyne could get more of his crosses past the first defender, I'd pick him. Think his crossing has been poor lately. It definitely seems like it's CCs place to hold on to at the moment, it's a good challenge for Clyne and a great problem for the manager to have.
DrunkenSaint Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 i voted for clyne just cause i think his crossing is better, also his pace can cause problems when he runs at the full backs. Chambers is very good though and a very good backup but maybe one day we might try and push one of them up on the right wing? could be worth a try in the pre season friendlies to see how it goes.
Badger Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 Difficult one to make a call on. As someone else said, selection could be on the particular opposition. Heart wants to vote CC as another from the academy. Perhaps he's stronger, most definitely taller. But Clyne has that extra pace, and danger going forward, so gets my vote (tonight).
ottery st mary Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 Poch was asked who was his number 2 and he replied......in English...believe it or not... "Jesus" or did he say......Chambers and Clyne.......I just pick the names outa the hat:rolleyes:
Lighthouse Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 I think bringing Clyne on is as good an offensive option as any other on our bench. As a tired full back, the last thing I'd want to see is a fresh Clyne running at me for half an hour.
Roger Posted 11 February, 2014 Posted 11 February, 2014 Clyne for me. Chambers was very good tonight but Clyne is as good as anyone in prem in that position IMO.
Roger Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 The fact that Clyne has 4 assists to 0 from chambers says a lot.
doggface Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Best to rotate depending on oppo. Chambers much better in the air and stronger, but clyne the better all rounder for me. Much better going forwards. thought chambers was a bit hit and miss tonight especially 2nd half.
BlakeySFC Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Still think Chambers gets a bit exposed defensively against the top top top class wingers and Clyne offers a bit more of an attacking threat.
austsaint Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Clyne is the more complete RB, and his speed and touch are impressive. Credit to MP for giving so much game time to CC because his development this season is outstanding - needs to tighten his defensive game though.
musesaint Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Both are excellent Chambers will be the outstanding player in the longer term How fortunate are we to have the two best young English RB's in the Premier League ?
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Did we ever have a fox and shaw poll?
dubai_phil Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Old fashioned idea I know but. Clyne was out injured, Chambers came in. Has done NOTHING wrong and is playing very well. Clyne cannot get back in the team... Lovren is out injured, Maya has come in and each week is playing better and better sure as heck did nothing wrong last night. Lovren on the bench until Jose or Maya have a bad game........ ? In the OLD days you lost your place then you only got back in when your replacement had a bad game. Squad rotation has changed that a lot but with a close knit group this year, I do like the fact that Clyne has not got back in the side even though he would help us break down park the bus teams, do think he is a heck of a lot better option at RB for England......
Junior Mullet Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Clyne is excellent. In time Chambers could be excellent too. MP is doing a good job to ensure that Chambers reaches his potential and doesn't just warm the bench. This week I heard Neil Warnock on Talksport saying how good Clyne is and what a lovely lad he is too (he signed Clyne at Palace and he recalls how nice his Mum was). I instantly wondered whether perhaps he is too nice and perhaps isn't being vocal enough about starting games ahead of Chambers, especially in a World Cup year. Anyhow, our three fullbacks will get plenty of game time between them with injuries, international breaks etc.
Dellman Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Too very evenenly matched players. Clyne has the plus with his pace, but Chambers is so solid as well. Can't remember being in a position at this level by having 2 top players at full back. I've a very long memory and we once had Ald Ramsey and Bill Ellerington competing for right back in both the Saints and the England team. Ramsey went to Spurs and secured his England place and Ellerington got pnuemonia and was never the same but he's still alive at 90+ the only one of that 1948 side still with us (I believe)
ThreeSixty Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 I think Clyne is the better full back right now. But Chambers will pass him. And we're preparing for that
JoeShmoe Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 I wonder if Clyne might play LB next year if/when Shaw goes. Don't think it's as important to be left footed to play that side as someone like Azpiluceta has shown at Chelsea
Appy Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Chambers has overtaken Clyne of late, he has improved so much since seeing him at West Brom on the opening day, he was good then too.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Ive gone for Chambers as I have him in my fantasy football team and he was cheap (3.9m)
grezz Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Clyne all day long. He adds an extra dimension to our game and I can't see that Chambers will ever overtake him.
Saint_Randell Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Clyne all day long. He adds an extra dimension to our game and I can't see that Chambers will ever overtake him. Chambers all day long for me. Pochettino clearly agrees.
SaintAndy14 Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 I honestly don't mind which one plays as both are great young English players and do a great job. Voted for Clyne as want to see him get a World Cup call-up but it's superb to have these two players competing for one position.
