Happily eating my words re Lescott

[There is a Light]

I slated Lescott about a month ago as for me his performances weren't that of a £24 million player and his mistakes were becoming costly. To be honest I would have been happy if he had been dropped but fair play to Hughes he has made me eat my words as his game has come together and he now looks immense.

His best game in a City shirt yesterday. Looked very good.

This ^^^^^

I heard some Chelsea fans moaning about Drogba on the way back. I thought Lescott bossed him - he is one of the best forwards in the world and for most of the game Lescott had him in his pocket.

Can't argue with NDJ getting man of the match, but there were a host of players - Shay, Lescott, Tevez, Robi, Sweep - who were all excellent and only a whisker behind

Think he's been steadily getting better week by week, maybe since the England Brazil game where I thought he was one of our better players. The lads got it all really and it's starting to show. I too am eating my words slightly.

Not many football players sign for a club and settle in Immediately.I thik it's even more difficult for someone joining a club and playing alongside another new signing.It takes time to form and understanding,especially with defenders.I hope the same kind of patience see's it's rewards for Santa Cruz.I still think he'll be a good signing for City.If we can get on a run that takes us into the top four and we are playing well,then confidence will spread through the squad and people given a chance will want to play well.

Seems to be a lot of that with City fans,more than enough of it on here as well.

He's been top drawer for several games night, gaining in confidence all the time. He just looked completely assured yesterday, full of confidence. Interesting to make the comparison with Terry, who was pissed on quite a few times.

Well done, There is a light. Pity a few more can't follow your example.

I've seen a lot of Lescott since he moved from Wolves and my resident BlueDipper scout has kept me well informed. Had Joleoninho stayed at Goodison (he was already close to many hearts) he would have become one of their legends.

Didn't surprise me one bit that Moyes wanted to hang on for grim death. He saw week in week out what we are just beginning to see now.

Yesterday's performance made Terry, Carvalho et al look a little pedestrian.
