Martin Demichelis (continued)

[jollylescott]

In Argentina's 23 man squad for the World Cup

Fabulous news, and thoroughly deserved. He made an incredible contribution to the title campaign.

He improved every game and was an assured and composed presence at the back.

I would start him in the Cup. I have no doubt he would handle it.

According to the Stats of whoscored.com, he had better season than Kompany.

I know stats doesn't tell the whole story, but its not a bad thing to have good scored at these ratings.

Aside from having to adapt to the speed he also may have had to adapt to play on the left of defence. It was usually on the left side that he was getting caught out until he adjusted.

Played on the left mostly for Bayern until Badstuber came in IIRC, think it was more the early knee injury and adjusting to the pace of the PL.

No! His football powers were in his ponytail! He'll be shit now.

To be honest, I think another major contributing factor in his improvement was the players around him adjusting to his weaknesses. Kompany eventually ended up having to cover the entire pitch behind our defensive line as he realised just how easy it was for teams to lump it over MDM and just run on to it. As much as MDM played well, he put a very high strain on Kompany, which more than likely led to some of his mistakes.

I can't imagine he'll start for Argentina, as Garay doesn't have the mobility of Kompany to cover for him and I can't see Argentina playing with a deep defensive line.

Always what I thought with Lescott too to be honest. Kinda excited to see what Kompany can become if he only has his own job to concentrate on.
