Lescott could do his role better even if he does look like someone just kicked a stick of dynamite to him every time he gets the ball. But Nasti should be the preferred option. I know he's been hot and cold this season but he had a bad injury and Pellegrini isn't helping him by not giving him a run of games. If either Lescott or Demichelis play against Barca we are getting ripped apart end of story.

Not world class defensively but he is the best option to play with Kompany as he actually starts many of our attacks. He is very comfortable with the ball and is often one who brings it to the midfield and pick a pass that launch our attacks. Something neither Nastasic or God forbid Lescott could do.

Yes in games where were on the front foot for 80% of the time.MSP said:Not world class defensively but he is the best option to play with Kompany as he actually starts many of our attacks.

That's 90% of the games though :D

Quality defenders don't run out of the back four line every 5 minutes or dive in and miss the ball leaving us open at the back. With his experience I really think he should know better but he keeps on doing it.

He's that far ahead of Lescott,he'll need a high powered telescope too fuckin see him !<br /><br />-- Sun Jan 19, 2014 7:31 pm --<br /><br />The Colonel said:grim up north said:The Colonel said:He's a massive worry. Reads the game well comfortable on the ball but his legs simply have gone. He has very poor agility. He'll be eaten alive if playing v Messi.
As will most CB in the world
Yes but he has zero chance against him. Don't let that mask his deficiencies. But Messi is the benchmark we need to aim for as best we can with. I really can't believe the faith in him. It's easy to look comfortable against a side sitting off us. But as I have said his legs have gone. It would be cold blooded murder and would be the same against any agile forward prepared to take him on. Demichellis has a role to play with us and has done a job. I'm glad we have him but let's no kid ourselves here. I really can't understand comments like "great player"! Quite worrying really.

He's a good stop gap and strong defender. How can some not see his very worrying lack of mobility? He makes Lescott look like Sonic the Hedgehog.Thenumber1blue said:He's quality and was an excellent signing !
They do sometimes even Komps does it and got skinned embarrassingly easy for their first goal.Still one of the best in the world !RandomJ said:Thenumber1blue said:He's quality and was an excellent signing !

It was very noticeable yesterday that Kompany got rid of the ball first time, every time, for Demichelis to start attacks.
