As much as I hate losing VK for any games, and as good as he was last night, I thought JoLo was outstanding too.
I feel our defence is in safe hands while he is around, though I do concede we need someone better than Garcia alongside him.
Nastasić must be near to fitness, and if all else fails, I would play Micah against Cardiff.
Lescott did his defending brilliantly, but he gave away the ball numerous times in dangerous areas. Better teams would have made more of those mistakes. He's a liability when the ball is at his feet.
And are Cardiff and Hull better teams than Newcastle?
However, I don't agree with your assessment of Lescott.
He had a superb game last night. And it's not just me who thinks that; another poster made him MotM. He is not a liability with the ball at his feet. Did you not see his wing-play in one of our attacks? And what's this about him making numerous mistakes? That's just a load of rubbish. Joleon Lescott is an experienced, high quality defender, who would grace any Premier League squad and we're lucky enough to have him as one of ours.
And Joleon Lescott, he's top of the League!
