I don't believe Lescott would come to play left back, <a class="postlink" href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/everton/article5537259.ece" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/ ... 537259.ece</a>
I’ve always wanted to be a centre-half and always believed I’m a centre-half, so if I keep playing consistently I’m sure I’ll stay there,†he says. “I’d like to think I’ve tried my hardest when I’ve played. I’m not going to kick and scream about not playing centre-half but the gaffer knows how I feel about the situation and fortunately for me he feels the same, so now there are no complaints.
“My way into the England squads would be as a centre-half, so I want to play there consistently. I think my physique makes me better suited to the role. Playing in another position has helped me but there was a time towards the end of last season when people were looking at me not as a centre-half playing left-back but as a left-back, which was a bit uncomfortable.â€
I would give Micah a chance to prove last season was a blip, and Bridge has looked better in pre-season, so Richards, Toure, Lescott, Bridge and plenty of top class cover.
