None of those passes were down to taking a risk, they were straight forward, under no pressure and no more than 20 yards. It doesn't make him a bad player and there were more than enough positives to take from his game, the poor distribution was there for all to see though.Rammy Blue said:

I also saw him doing some good work today at the back, interceptions, tackles to break up play etc etc...
Let's get a bit pf perspective here
He only misplaced the passes because he was taking risks against a piss poor opposition by trying to move the ball forwards quickly. No way would he have tried them if we were playing a better team.
The lads a bit ring rusty thats all. Hopefully as he gets up to match fitness and more importantly up to the speed of the Premier league things will be a lot better. The lad can play football thats for sure, and a simple trip to specsavers, with a colour blind test should do the trick lol!! Seriously I've no worries the lad can play football and like Ferandinho (who is now looking a real player) it might just take a few weeks to get up to speed.

He misplaced a few, but overall a pretty good return.
He made 87 passes today? How many did we do all together?
If he did then to be fair, 80 of them were to NastasicBlue Coop said:moomba said:87 passes at 91%.

772 at 92% from a very quick add up.
I agree completely mate, he did an awful lot right today and nothing came of his poor distribution so it's a case of onwards and upwards. I don't think we can just gloss over some of those passes as they were in pretty dangerous areas and luckily for us Norwich's powder puff forward line failed to capitalise.Mr Ed (The Stables) said:Pablo1 said:None of those passes were down to taking a risk, they were straight forward, under no pressure and no more than 20 yards.

I think he won't do that much anymore. He just needs to get up to speed.

Defensively I thought he played well.
Distributionally i thought he did not have the best game with those aforementioned errant passes. However I put that down to lack of game time.
With that being said though, with Kompay out, who would you prefer to partner Nastasic? Demichelis, Lescott or Garcia?
