Pizczeck, Ivanovic and Srna for me

Who voted for Glen Johnson?!

Glen Johnson's mum?

In fairness to Johnson I do actually think he's improved tenfold of late, at the Euros he was one of England's best players.

I'd agree he's got better but over some of the right backs on that list (Srna for example) it's amazing that 2 people have gone for Glen!

He's a much more recognised name though, do many people get coverage of the Ukraninian league or is Srna only really seen in the CL games?

As I've been watching Shakhtars games for the past few seasons I guess I've seen more of Srna than others.

He was great in the Euros as well and in the CL too.

Same can be said though with Iraola, best right back in arguably the best league in the world last season.

True actually, was great last season.

Johnson joint first. Can tell this forum has a lot of Liverpool fans.

I voted for Johnson. I only really watch the English league and only him and Zabaleta have stood out for me.

I still think people underrate Johnson. He has improved his defensive side so much in the last 2 years, can play on either flank, can use both feet, has pace, can dribble and score goals. For me he has everything a top full back should.

Lahm plays at LB doesn't he? That's why I didn't vote for him.

Lahm plays rb mainly, Alaba is Bayerns lb usually

without doubt piszczek of dortmund, sensational full back.

Alves, Lahm and Sagna for me

Meant to vote for Piszczek instead of Danny Alves along with Lichsteiner and Lahm.

Or people who rate Glen Johnson?

I'm a united fan and I can't see how anyone has chosen Rafael, scored a couple and is useful going forward but has far to many holes in his defensive game. Lahm for me.

No, not unless visually impaired/stupid.

Last time I checked I was neither of those...

Hero, get your LB thread going!

I think those that criticise Johnson are the ones who are visually impaired, or rather they're viewing on reputation only. In the last 2 years Johnson has become a top, top defender and has been as good a left back as most as well. I'd say he was probably England's best player at Euro 2012 as well and quite rightly cemented his place ahead of Kyle Walker.

Lham has consistently been the best 'full back' for the last 6-7 years for me. Unbelievably good in defense whilst superb going forward, don't think I've seen him have a bad game, for club or country.

I'd go as far as saying he's the best RB and LB in the world.
