Matija Nastasic
- Thread starter Mancio
- Start date
For me its only because Mancini bought a player who reads the game very well and his positioning is superb. He should play in the traditional centre-back system with one attacks the ball, and the other one falls and cover. BUT Pellegrini, for me, clearly wants to have 2 centre backs who are very aggresive and can take the ball off an attacker before he turns, enter demichelis. Nastasic doesnt fit this system, the question is if he will adapt to it..

I must be the only one who thought the Chelsea player fouled him. Then one of the most disgusting things I have seen was nearly the whole of the Chelsea team surrounding the Ref trying to get a fellow pro sent off.Very raggish.dwren said:How many more mistakes does this guy have to make before people realize he aint good enough....every time he has to make a decision he hesitates which in turn costs us or in the case of tonight could have cost him a red card...this age thing can only be used so many times......come on wake up blues we need a centre back we can rely on to play along side VK..TrueBlue1705 said:Carl_Man_City said:Seems to have lost his confidence a bit this season, give him time, he'll come good again
If you were down the pecking order behind Demichelis you'd lose your confidence too . He needs regular games a young talented player, many thought he was a revelation when he first arrived, I just can't understand the handling of him lately .....

Sorry, he might come good but I'm afraid Nastasic won't make world class player.
Kompnay didn't do him any favour with losing his cool in first half though, Nastasic was better in that tackle than Kompany and it was bit twattish from Vince to react like that.
Agree. Vinny giving him the mother of all bollockings was not the best way to boost the kids fragile confidence

People were raving about him last season, never got the hype. He isn't the quickest, gets bullied in the air time and time again, isn't strong and not particularly good with the ball at his feet. Would much prefer to see Denayer get an opportunity.

It didn't even look like Vinnies ball - Gary Neville used to rave about Nastasic - I just think he needs regular games. Looked a good defender when he first arrived

From EL3 it definitely looked more like Nasty's ball and Vinny should have left it to him unless Vinny had shouted.

Last season he played in a defensive scheme where one mistake usually didn't matter because Hart would be onto any player who got past him. This season he's 5 yards further forward and one mistake and an opponent is one-on-one with Hart. Pellegrini hasn't handled him well either. Bound to lose your confidence if you don't get to play (especially if you play well).

Exactly right, great stuff.
