Lescott and Konpany, best central defensive partnership in the League. There, I said it! :)

Lescott

The thing that worries me is his positional sense which is pretty serious for a CB. I'm hopeful he continues to improve on that.i kne albert davy said:Show me a defender who don't make a mistake mate neville v goat ring any bells, lescotts had a great end to this season don't you think your being a bit over critical.RandomJ said:He has been good for us but he showed today he always has one clanger up his sleeve every match. And if you want to compete at the very top we can't have a defender who is liable to a stupid mistake so regularly.

Never liked what we paid for him BUT has been worth it the last few matches, and today was immense.

I think he's been excellent over the last couple of months. Couple of mistakes, but you're going to get that playing at the back. I certainly wouldn't replace him with Cahill.

Never mind Neville Vs the Goat - Neville was and is Dog shyte.
How about Felipe Caicedo - Manchester City's on loan 5th or 6th striker skinning FC Barcelona's Pique - allegedly one of the best defenders i the world who plays for the best team in the world.
All defenders make the odd bad mistake and all strikers miss the odd sitter.

The fact of the matter is that as a team we have conceded 33 goals this season. Chelsea are the only team to better that, having only conceded 30.
Sounds like stating the obvious, but a CB's job is 100% to keep this figure as low as possible. Between him and Vincent they've achieved what they set out to achieve, however they've done it, mistakes might get made but it's how you react to them. Lescott has reacted extremely well to his mistakes and he's learning all the time.
This year, we had the second best defensive record in the league. A settled team means less pressure, means less mistakes. Another year of knowing one another and Kompany and Lescott will be formidable. Probably the best CB pairing in the league. It's all about understanding one-another and that will only get better with time.
If you keep the goals out at one end then that's half the job done. We're doing that so why change the personnel?
