Lescott, by a mile. I used to wish we had Vidic alongside Vinnie; not now. If Lescott and Kompany aren't the best CB pairing in the PL, I don't know who are.
The problem is, you can't. Those problems are central to his overall effectiveness as he can't do much to help us when he's sitting in the corporate box performing magic tricks.ForzaMancini said:Lescott for sure. Carried on from the excellent form he showed towards the end of last season. Milner is in with a shout too, and Mario if you ignore some of the behavioural problems.
Tony Adcock said:Now I know the end of season awards don't have a trophy for the above, but it is just as important to have players improving as it is to have players we know are excellent to start with.
The usual subjects will be in for P.O.Y. - VK, Kun, Silva......
But for me there is 1 player who has come on leaps and bounds this season - joleon. I have never been his best supporter, but he has won me round. I think he is key to what we do defensively and as his confidence grows I see him getting more goals next season and becoming and England regular.
Special mentions to Zaba and Micah as well - definitely improving under Mancini
