Kompany off, Nastasic on, Lescott on bench

[coulsonblue]

there was no logical basis for replacing the injured Vincent Kompany with Kolo Touré while Joleon Lescott sat on the bench.

really?

only the small matter of their dominant foot? kolo played well when he came on so the centre back choices today had zero to do with the outcome

 

[salfordpaul]

thought kolo had a blinder tbh!

It really pisses me off this, if lescott wasn't english this a non story and to be fair to kolo he did well when he came on. Also it proves that the journo's know nothing mancini didnt put lescott on because he didnt want two left footed defenders on the pitch

 

[Citizenhill]

I WAS disappointed, no doubt, when he came on and Lescott was on the bench. But, Mancini's decision was right in the end and the balance he brought was good, one of his best games at his time at the club.

Mancini has explained this in a press conference. when asked why Lescott was not in the squad but Kolo was on the bench at CFC he explained that Kolo was the sub for Kompany as he was right-footed

Not sure Kolo had a great game as I thought he gave away a pen. but not seen it again

Utd were not much of an attacking threat in the 2nd half

You've not been watching Lescott in training, Mancini has.

If Kolo hadnt actually played well, this clown would have a point.

 

[TFC]

Turning point for me that (the substitution). It would give any team added confidence seeing Vinnie come off.

That being said, Kolo didnt put a foot wrong IMO.
