joleon lescott

[Dax777]

At least Lescott has some idea on how to defend. Nastasic hasn't. Can't tackle, constantly fouling and poor in the air. He has managed to become the player he replaced and that takes some doing.

Funny enough, Savic in the other hand seemed to have found his confidence and he is now a top defender. Albeit, in Italy.

Yup - Excepting his fuck-up against QPR, Joleon was very solid alongside Kompany in our title season. Cant believe he's gone down the toilet in <2 years.

Why the hell do people have to keep harping on about that?

Vinnie also made a mistake in the same match that also led to a goal, but that hardly ever receives a mention on here.

All players make mistakes and that one ultimately didn't cost us anything.

Apart from a few heart palpitations, maybe.

I was praising Lescott, bud.

Put him in the team tomorrow, Nastasic had a mare, and norwich like to put crosses in the ball.

 

[Bruun]

Physioroom said he had a knock.

Praising with the classic barbed comment usually used only by those who don't really like him. I wonder how positive " Cant believe he's gone down the toilet in <2 years" really is.

He's the exact same player he was two years ago. It's just that we have moved up a couple of levels since then.

He is a defender pure and simple. He may not be a ball playing centre half but he is still an outstanding defender IMO.

 

[I Live In A Blue House]

We have had lots of worse defenders as I am sure you Blues out there will clarify :)

 

[ForzaMancini]

Hope to see him partnering Kompany tomorrow - fingers crossed they can rekindle their 11/12 partnership.

Agreed. Not quite sure why he has not been played in those games where his ball playing limitations wouldn't have been too worrying a handicap for the team.
He certainly looks much more comfortable playing in his preferred position on the left than acting as an emergency stop gap on the right as he is definitely one-footed.

Like Barry he has been a good servant for the club and if this is his final season I wish him well and hope he leaves with another 4 winners medals!!
