Lescott today...
- Thread starter scenecreamer
- Start date
I don't agree with this he isn't good enough at this level argument, he was our best defender at the beginning of the season and in my opinion has cleared up quite a few mistakes by Kompany. What level are we talking about, he didn't play in our game against Bayern and that didn't go well and for me he was missed. I think we are in danger of always thinking there is bigger and better out there and not appreciating what we have and what they do for us. If we look back at threads from last season people underestimated Barry, Milner, and Lescott they have all upped their game and been great this season. Mario was written off as a liability, he is a different player, he kept calm yesterday even when things were not going his way. I wish that Dzeko thread would just fall away and die as it is awful the way one of our players is talked about in there. They are all good enough, they got us to Dec 12th without a loss, 10 points in a very hard CL group and still in the running for cups I wouldn't change any of them and hope they keep doing us proud. The results this season surely show they aren't doing much wrong. We are a team and and each one plays their part.

Unfair criticism - the world's best defenders make mistakes. Joleon makes very few, in all fairness. Roberto has faith in him - and that will do for me.

Agreed, not forgivable. Lets kill him now, anyone up for a lynching because he accidentally hand balled it? Bloody hell, he has being our best defender all season and a few mistakes mean what he did is 'unforgivable' ?

Only "rubbish" because it was Lescott the very fact he has improved so much highlights the mistakes that bit more. Had that own goal been Vinny he wouldn't have got half the stick IMOBlueJill said:Bluemoonbaldboy said:The own goal V Liverpool could have happened to anyone.
Rubbish.

I've not seen many having a go at David Silva for passing on the opportunity to shoot - more than likely putting us 2-0 up.
