Matija Nastasic

I've said previously that he's the best 19 year old Centre Half I've ever seen...but Lescott should have started yesterday with Newcastle's tactics and big men, I thought he was dominated in the air a little. Although still comfortable and confident on the ball, and still had a good game.
 
From what I saw yesterday he did well enough, can certainly improve when it comes to the more physical side of the game. I can't remember any 'big' tackle he's made to save us thats made me stand up like Kompany seems to do every game but these are things you learn over time.

He is full of potential, he doesn't make any glaring mistakes unlike most youngsters and his form is consistant. It's a very good foundation on which to build on, he can certainly become an amazing centre back if we give him the time (which we seem to be) to blossom.

I think people are getting slightly carried away with Nasty.

He is obviously going to be magnificent in years to come but all this "you don't even notice him" isn't exactly the best of positives - compare the guy to where Vince is at and you soon realise he's got a long way to go yet.

Not in any way slating the guy but I can't recall any crunching tackles or last ditch goal saving challenges as yet in his few performances.

Awful observation, as Mancio said, you pay him the highest compliment!!

He is 3x the player Vinny was at that age!

I understand Mancio's point. It's very difficult to put into words and as I originally said I'm by no means having a pop at the lad nor his potential, it's just that personally I'd have preferred a more dominant centre half next to Vince whilst we bring Nasty through.

There's plenty of nonsense written on Bluemoon, but this is just staggering
 
an old saying,a good defender comes off the pitch with clean shorts.

a good defender doesnt have to dive in,because his positiioning allows him to stand and win the ball,nasty is an out and out defender,playing him against different oppos will only help him,he is an immense talent( not quite a phil jones)vinny and nasty will be the bedrock of our team for many happy years

He's been brought through and then some, the reason he's standing out is because of this, the lad hasn't even got 50 games under his belt at the top level yet plays like a veteran, players of this ilk come around once in a bluemoon, just enjoy it mate, he'll also surpass any central defender you've seen in a blue shirt!!

Couldn't see it posted, but did anyone see MOTD3 (the online thing) on Monday? Michael Owen getting a few sly digs in about Nastasic when he and Hansen had to pick an eleven each from the players that started the derby.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20661695 Starts about 5 minutes in.

New Years Day can't some soon enough, although the bench-warming little turd probably won't play....

All he fucking did was pick united players unless forced. He really is a disgusting piece of shit. The fact that the BBC sees fit to call upon his services speaks volumes about their standards tbh.

I take it you didn't watch the Real Madrid Home game mate?

Perhaps he reads the game better than most defenders and doesn't need to go diving into last ditch tackles.

But then most British football fans think players are shite if they don't get mud on their shorts

100% agree with this. I am not one for going OTT with youngsters in football because more often than not it doesn't quite work out. But this kid is performing miracles at the moment. He is absolutely our first choice partner of Kompany now because he is a better player Lescott and Toure. The fact he has confidence, maturity and a temperament to match his ability means there is zero risk in playing him week in, week out. Well, no more risk than playing Toure or Lescott anyway, and that's in no way trying to disrespect either of those two.
 
He is very much a Pep player.
Very comfortable with the ball, composed under pressure and defensively is solid also.
Pep moulded Pique into the exact same style of player.


Forget about Pep though, Mancini is the manager.

Back to yesterday, I was once again impressed with what I saw he never put himself under pressure, he dealt with his duties well and showed good understanding with kolo.
He came under a lot of aerial pressure and didn't look like he was struggling at all, especially when in his usual partnership Kompany will deal with most aerial battles.
 
He's not made any crunching last ditch tackles? Isn't that in it's self a positive that he's not HAD to make any? He's always been in the right place at the right time so far

He's a secret weapon: the stealth defender.

the most impressive thing is his attitude and personality - he NEVER looks fazed or anxious in the slightest! always got that calm look on his face, doesn't hurry or rush anything, and best of all he doesn't smile ever (the sign of a top defender)

he is simply the polar opposite of Savic!
 
didn't have alot to do, but despite of that i thought he had another good game... he will surpase his serbian friends vidic and ivanovic in the future imo...

He'll easily surpass vidic in the next 3 or so years. I think he already has surpassed ivanovic

i don't think so... Imo ivanovic is chelseas best right back and best central defender... And besides, both vidic and ivanovic have been in premier leauge teams of the season several times, so nastasic has a little way to go to get there, and i am sure he will...
