Is Gaël Clichy that good?

I have been very critical of him in the past and really feel like we need to replace him, but he played excellently yesterday. That defensive header at the back post was massive.

Did notice him being dead tired at the end and not fully tracking back during an attack but he hasn't played a lot so I can imagine his fitness isn't perfect.
 
He's fuckin awful. Dire doesn't cover it.
He's the only left footed footballer I've known that's got a ' none contact left foot' clause written into his contract.
Wake up fella ffs.
 
Pellegrini doesn't it looks. In each big game he picks Clichy. Not sure he is even defensively that better than Kolarov. He's been targeted by opposition game after game. Not completely his fault though as that left side of ours is much weaker defensively but he is not that good really. Never was but he is going south rapidly.

The only way any left fullback will get any protection is if Milner starts that side.

It's long been a problem that side and really needs addressing.
 
Was shocking today in my opinion and overall he has been all season.

Kolarov has offered us a lot of goals and assists from full back this season but along with Clichy both are not good enough to be first choice for us and take us forward.
 
I just don't think he's very good. He's more of a hinderance than a threat when we attack, constantly clowing things down as he refuses to cross the ball and his defending is far from great. He has pace and he's marginally better defensively than Kolarov, but I don't think he's nearly good enough
 
I'm not one for calling one of ours but he's been off his game since 2012.
He's dreadful, absolutely dreadful and offers us nowt, forward or back,
 
Said it all season. We need a new left back, along with another World class centre half.
