None of the Premier League’s current defenders have hit the heights of the greats of yesteryear

#6 Danny Rose

Rose is the best fullback in the league

Danny Rose has continually progressed to become the best full back in the league. Both an attacking dynamo and a consistent force in the league’s stingiest defence, Rose can do it all, and he has left potential competition for a spot on the national team in Bertrand, Shaw and Baines in the dust.

His stiffest challenger for No.1 full-back is probably his teammate on the opposite flank: Kyle Walker. Separating them is really a matter of perspective, one can lean towards the left since Rose tends to have less cover ahead of him in Lamela or Eriksen vs. harder working Son and Sissoko on the other flank. Despite this, Spurs’ No.3 owns the left side and has put in more tackles, interceptions and clearances than No.2.

His ability to influence the game from left-back has been on display many times, but his screamer against Swansea back in February kept Spurs in the title race, and keeps us wondering how good he might become.
