joleon lescott

He isn't fast enough.

If you think this is bad, just imagine him trying to defend against Messi.

God I really hope Nasty is back and in form for that game. Just the thought of Messi running at Lescott makes me want to cry.

At times today when he got the ball looked like he'd been thrown a hand grenade with the pin out.

Pace really wasn't/isn't the issue really, it's more that him and Kolarov got stuck too square so didn't even track Sterling on his repeated runs in from the right. It doesn't matter how fast or slow you are if you don't follow the man (as Clichy showed against Bayern). Obviously they weren't helped by Kompany lunging in too much and the midfield not offering enough cover, but they were done too many times in that first half by the exact same thing, which really shouldn't happen

Whole hearted effort from Lescott when he was left badly exposed at times v Suarez. Not his fault he hasn't been playing but outpaced so often, will be glad when Nasty is back.

Nastasic has less pace than lescott

Ive read some stuff on this forum since I joined but this post has to be up there. Complete rubbish.

Haha I suppose you are one of those on here who have created this myth of nastasic that he is the 2nd coming and has pace.

He doesn't has a lot of pace, often gets twisted so has to pull the player back or gets his collegues like joe and kompany in the shit.

Although lescott isn't the type of player we should have as 1st choice, neither is nastasic.

A new cb will come in jan or the summer, and it will be him and kompany as 1st choice, Martin and nastasic as 3rd and 4th choice

Whatever your thoughts on Nastasic, it is simply a fact that he is quicker than Lescott.

Liverpool are the best side we have played in the league this season by a mile and Suarez is seriously on fire.Our midfield at times were not giving great protection and our 2 center backs,one of which was Joleon,kept them down to one goal and Suarez to NO chances.

He wasn't close to great but he worked damned hard and did a good job.As did pretty well everyone but nobody had a great game today.

Southampton have been the best team we've played this season. They bossed the game, possession, chances, everything - better than us in pretty much every aspect if the game.

We had more of the ball, more chances and that's without being at our best today against Liverpool.

Nope I'm with you on that one. Nastasic had too much put on his young shoulders too soon and his form suffered. He should be playing 20 games a season not 50.

His legs are going even from what they were, Suarez really embarrassed him a couple of times today and clearly identified him as a weakness. Understand why people want to apologize and make excuses for him, but his to be at his absolute best to compete at a club like this, something he reached in 11/12, because of his lack of technical ability.

Clearly in decline now, will go in the summer for free. Perhaps we should have sold him last summer to get something back financially.

That said, he's been a good signing for us in the end, wasn't expecting that when we played 20 plus million for a solid everton Centre-Back. Did well.

Unless there has been a dramatic change in both players, last season they did sprint drills and lescott was faster than nastasic every time with 30/40 yard drills.

Maybe lescott has lost a bit of pace with age over the last 8/9 months, but he certainly isn't the slouch people are making him out to be.
