Amazing how shit he is having played in the best defence for the past two seasons. I would say that up until Feb last season, Lescott often looked the better central defender. He was great last season.
Centre half in particular is a position in which 'understanding' your fellow defenders is imperative. A new face, no matter how 'good' he may be, is going to need a little bit of time to bed in. The notion that a 19 year old kid who's played a handful of games in a second rate league against mainly second rate opposition would be thrust into the action for us against Madrid is a laughable. If Mancini were to do it he'd get tons of criticism and would deserve it all.
