Pay no mind shemnel. for god knows what reason some people just dont want to come onto a City site and slag off the players.

yeah nice one. not sure what your condescending comments are for, especially to a new member, but thanks for making me feel welcome to post what's on my mind! or is it 'tow the city line and nothing else' sort of a forum? with you overseeing everyone's posts? Lescott is struggling and is regularly at fault every game. this season is not the same season we won the league, wake up, he was better 2 years ago. nice to meet you though.

Don't worry pal, a high post count usually means you spend more time on here, nothing more - nothing less.

I notice Pellers hasn't yet posted on BM. What does he know about football eh? ;-)

I support our club more so than I do any one player.

Lescott is a liability. Kompany tracked Suarez for most of the match. Lescott was completely overwhelmed by Sterlings pace. Great defenders don't need pace to survive. I just don't see the same player that came into glory during our title winningsseason.

If that's slagging then ban me.

Thank you for dedicating your 6th post to Joleon after keeping a close on him.

Good enough to get us to our first premiership win and FA Cup triumph and more recently he has continued to show us he is probably our best central defensive player .Comparisons to Nasti and Demichelis have shown that this season. Regularly out of position is a new one so thanks especially for you insight.

I think your harsh on him here I think his/her better comments were panics like anything and easy to get passed were good one's. the fact we conceded 29 goals in our title winning season proves him right all of which must have been Lescotts fault. He may not be the best centre half in the prem but very average defender the mind boggles.

Great to have new members mate and you can post basically what you want everyone see's players different but personally I think you're a bit OTT where Lescotts concerned he's been very good for us and apart from a few exceptions has done a job for us when brought in just like yesterday.

thanks for a more adult response, i love discussion about footy but not being talked down to like a child. I might sound harsh to Lescott, and i appreciate his efforts in the past few years, but i genuinely think his quality has gone down to the extent where he is not good enough for a top 4 team. Opinions, opinions, and i think Lescott will continue to divide! cheers for your response

I've kept a close on on Lescott recently and have come to the conclusion he is a very average defender and not good enough for any team playing in Champs league.

He is regularly out of position (and i mean regularly), his distribution is usually quite weak (in defenders terms), he panics like anything with the ball at his feet and is easy to get past as he tends to stand too square to oncoming players.

He will be sold when cover is bought, probably in the summer.

Regularly at fault every game?

Pay no mind shemnel. for god knows what reason some people just dont want to see or admit that lescott is a liability. My opinion of him is far more likely to rattle their cage.
The sooner the useless git is shown the f*cking door the better for us, he has the mental speed of a brain damaged sloth on sedatives.

A little bit disrespectful and over the top our kid- i counted his misplaced passes last night and i got it to be the grand sum of one !! Vinnie misplaced more passes than jolean !!

Im not saying jolean is better than vinnie but f--k me get off his back and give a fair assessment of his performance .

Did you see the little chipped knock into silva in the first half - great vision, gave it early as silva wanted him to and other than that kept it simple- what do you want him to do ?? Try and pass like silva and nasri ?? The thing about jolean he's realistic and knows his limitations so therefore try's to keep things simple.

Great win with our best defensive pairing by a mile .

GET OFF HIS BACK MAN -

Great post pete.

If he is as good as some are making out, any reason why we are not exactly rushing to extend his contract?

He is what he is, adequate back up.
