Aaron Cresswell appreciation thread
|

Been meaning to post this for a while but how good a footballer is our left back.
Cresswell is in the best form of his career and has been for a while now. His delivery is fantastic but what has really struck me is his technical ability. He is so cool under pressure and I can’t think of one of our players who can take down and control the ball as well in a tight spot, really exceptional.
Shame he’s getting on, 32 in December. Hopefully has a few years left at the top level? Has really become the consummate professional! Long may it last.

I thought he would never recover his previous form. I would have been happy to have given him away for nothing a couple of years ago. Amazing the change in his form.

He's been top class so far this season, and it's gonna be a nightmare to replace him as he enters the twilight of his career.

He has a sweet left foot. One of the better left foot crossers of the ball in the Prem, takes a nice free kick too.
There’s plenty to like about his game.
Can’t think of too many left backs playing better than him this year.

Has always been slated on here, so let's not try to rewrite history. Lovely hair though.

He was at his very best in that last season at Upton Park, but he has been excellent over the last 18 months.

Unfairly a lot of the time, he just went through some shit form for a season and a bit, was never that bad. His defensive positioning has improved a lot over the last two years.

angry - Yep, I always liked him. Always been a stylish type of operator, fell short of being top class of course and lacking aggression probably hasn't done him any favours, but ultimately he has been a very successful signing.

He was excellent when he joined.
Then we was utter shit for a while, but last 2 seasons he's been back to his best.

Very underrated in my opinion. Has been superb this season, barely put a foot wrong. His quality of passing all over the pitch has been excellent and he's back to the form he showed when he first joined us

He's also played as a very competent centre back and could probably look at ease in midfield too.

Last season he was the only player we couldn't replace. Arthur and Johnson cannot get forward AND defend. He's the most underrated player player in a criminally underrated team.
He's a superb player and if it's true that we're all 10 percent bent my entire bentness is going to Cressy. I'm sure he'd be delighted with a fucked up hairy arsed middle aged West Ham supporter with three breaks in his pelvis and six broken ribs.
Sexy.

I thought he was past his best a couple of years back, but that may well have been down to how the team was playing/training. he's clearly enjoying his football again and I hope it continues

He's a natural wing back who has thrived as the rest of the team has settled. Wand of a left foot.

Only player who changes our entire shape when not fit.
As such if Rice is worth £100m, then he’s worth £200m.

It makes me laugh when people say “oh but you all thought he was shit not so long ago” in some sort of attempt to show people up.
Firstly, unless you monitor exactly who has said what about which players over time, there’s no way of knowing if people are contradicting themselves.
Also, people are entitled to change their minds about a player. It’s how grown ups work.
Players also have good and bad seasons. As such, the prevailing opinion will be different from one season to the next.
So, Cresswell has been good for a while and is rightly getting appreciation. When a player has had a shit season, a few Stowie-like posters will constantly slag them off.
It’s not that hard to understand.
