Martin Demichelis

He was just getting to know his teammate's movement, more game times together will correct those missed pass though.

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?[/quote]
tbh that could be debated for rather a long time,, nasty for me with demich coming a close second

... and the colour of their shirts at times!

Reads the game well, I was worried about this guy but I thought he played well in both games.

I dont know what you expect from him on his 2nd match in a new country,with new teamates and coming back from a significant injury,he is going to be rusty but i feel much better with him there whist vinnie is out

I don't want to be too negative because I think he has looked ok defensively in his two games but I don't see how anyone can blame rustiness or being in a new team for those passes. He was under no pressure at all for any of them and it wasn't like he was trying to do anything clever or play the ball long. I'd expect an ex top division pro who hadn't played for 10 years to be able to not give the ball straight to the opposition in the same situations.

I like what I see of him. His touch and technique is very good, very comfortable on the ball, few errant passes but I think that's not exactly unexpected whilst he's trying to bed in with rest of the team.

And after those jibes that he's another slow poke in the Barry/Garcia/Lescott mould, I've comfortably come to the conclusion that he's easily faster than them and in fact has reasonable pace for a centre half & a guy of his age.

I don't think there's a problem with his pace and his fitness will improve with games. He does seem a tad Garcia-esque in that he tends to dwell on the ball, hasn't yet adapted to the pace of the PL, thinks he's got more time than he has. Hopefully that's a temporary issue.

Bleedin ell give the guy some slack! Some on here already slagging him off at the first chance want to give there heads a wobble. For me he played really well, those misplaced passes will soon be eradicated from his game when he gets up to match speed. Can't wait to see him line up with Vinny. A calming experienced player at the back is just what we need and for me he brings this.
