If you look at <a href="http://www.squadgod.com/players/GaelClichy" rel="nofollow">the guy's stats</a> for the season they're outrageous. He's earned the majority of his points the hard way, making a well above average number of tackles, passes and interceptions. Seems like fullbacks who don't take eye catching set pieces don't really get the recognition they deserve.

If you watch Clichy week in, week out, then you can see just how good he is. An abundance of energy is matched with great dribbling skills and determination and a tenacious style of defending. I'd go as far as saying that at the moment Clichy is the best leftback in Europe. I think Clichy’s better than Abidal, and certainly Evra.

Talk about an embarrassment of riches. Too bad he doesn't play rightback. It kills me that Clichy won’t even be considered as leftback for France as long as we have Abidal and Evra.
