People keep talking about Joleon Lescott - an England player, no less! - losing his place but Nastasic outstanding again tonight. #MCFC
Hard to disagree!

Wow. Is he really just 19?
The calmness and composure he shows, at that age, is truly astonishing.
We, boys and girls, have an absolute gem on our hands.

I thought Nastasic and Kompany were outstanding tonite , both were excellent .... and Zab and Clichy played a full part too.

He's 20, by all of about a week iirc.
I certainly hope so. He has been amazing so far this season and I hope continues like that for years to come!mr t said:He'll be in the team for years - no doubt.

If he's 20, I'm no longer impressed ;)

I think Rio - Vidic was a better partnership. It brought success in Europe as well as domestically.
Plus the two contrasts in style are very similar to Nastasic and Kompany.
In fairness they have only been together 1 season and are both young players. One is practically an infant. The others have many years of service. Let's see where they are in 10 years.

Big Phil Jones is twenty one and a massive player.

His stats for success rate when he's actually involved are top notch. My problem with him is how often he is actually involved in the nitty gritty defending, which imo is not so often. If you look at tonights game, he got bitched a couple of times by RVP but he didn't get embarrased by anyone, but he didn't do anything that difficult either. All the other 3 defenders kept making big challenges, as did Jones for them.
Nastasic & Wio were just sort of 'there' but not that involved in anything but routine stuff.
It's called 'good positional sense'. Nas doesn't get dragged out of position often, and he's neat and tidy. Rarely has to commit to a last gasp tackle. The boy is CLASS!

He is learning fast - I can see him being a club legend in a decade at this rate.

The fact that he's often not "noticeable" is a testament to his superb positioning and skillful reading of the game. He's very zen; does what needs to be done and doesn't try to death tackle the opposition like a lot of young eager beavers. Quiet storm of a player. He's beginning to inspire the sort of trust we've all built up in Vinny over the years. The feeling that it's going to take a bit of brilliance to beat us, because Nasty Nas will be perfectly positioned defensively and his passing will give nothing away. I love that feeling.
As one of his biggest fans, I thought he could have been more aggressive yesterday and his usually exceptionally good passing was a bit wayward. Thing is though, he doesn't make mistakes. Even though he wasn't completely solid he was positioned well enough to stop any danger - that and the fact that United weren't really threatening a whole lot.
Really think he deserves the Young Player of the Year though.
