He'll drop to the bench when Kompany's fit, not because Lescott or Nastasic are better, but because the balance is better, right footers on the right, left footers on the left, and with our high full backs they need to be assured cover on their side.Ric said:He had a couple of nervy moments in the first half, but did OK overall. He's been a useful signing, albeit a relatively short term one. It'll be interesting to see if Pellegrini opts for him or Nastasic as Kompany's first choice partner when everyone is fully fit.
On a separate note, I thought Lescott did well in the second half.
He can play a bit - he's not just a cook.FantasyIreland said:shadygiz said:he's just a shit steven seagal ;p
Performs well when were under siege though.
He compliments kompany better on the basis of what fifa?kenzie115 said:Other than dozing off for a moment in the first half when running back to our goal, which almost let Spurs in, he was solid again. He's a bit like Kompany in that he likes stepping out to try and win the ball but obviously wouldn't keep Vinnie out of the side and I'd have Nastasic ahead of him too because he compliments Kompany better.

We used to crap ourselves every time he got the ball anywhere near our box.
Good luck to him.

Nastasic is only rated 77 on Fifa. Demichelis is 82. Lescott is 81.

He will do well for us as a stop gap and how you have described Demichelis is similar to how we rated Jerome Boateng.
