Never knew players had eyes in the back of there head?
He clearly should of been told by others he had time.......if you've ever played the game you should know this?
Shay Given was actually shouting "Time!" over and over to him as the ball was coming in and he still glanced it out for a corner like a numpty and didnt seem interested when Shay tried to call him on it.

Exactly. When Abramavich came to Chelsea they had Babayaro at left back and then signed Bridge who was a good short term solution. Then they got Ashley Cole a couple of years later.
We had Michael Ball as left back for fuck sake. Bridge is an improvement.

Wobbly late on, but excellent first half.
Everyone has their own opinion , I'm not one to go calling our players , but must admit I never have any confidence when teams attack down the right hand side , Bridge doesn't look comfortable on the ball sometimes and his distribution is awful when it's easier to keep possession .

OK going forward but often dosn't seem to realise quite how far he has to get back, both full back positions need recruiting for.Chrisja1000 said:pardoe said:Sometimes wonder what games some of our fans watch.

My biggest problem with him is that every time he gains possession, he hoofs the ball as hard as he can, usually straight to an opposing player. Now the other team has possession and is moving forward. He does it every single time he gets the ball, with no exceptions. He is totally consistent. Download this game and watch it again and keep an eye on what he does with the ball. Or the last game.
HE is the main reason that City plays longball.
Hoof hoof hoof hoof. Its very frustrating.

He can have good games, but to inconstant for me. If we do resolve the LB problems in January though i will cost quite a bit for a good left footed player that can defend. And then there's the problem of who to get, I'm not convinced there's a lot of good left backs out there.

The other thing that Bridge often appears to do when he is in possession is deliberately hit the ball at the nearest opposing player knowing the ball will go out for a throw...........its almost like he knows he cant pick out a pass so is happy to take a throw in.
For me, I would like to see Lescott and left back and Toure/Nedum in the middle.
