Good game for the young lad

On Nastasić he looked calm and assured like he`s been playing at the top level for many years.
I just know that should Lescott have played then we would have been in trouble. Ronaldo and Di Maria would have ran rings around him.
Good debut.
Keep Nastasic for opposition that are possession based teams. Keep Lescott for physically strong teams.

I make that wide of the mark myself. Whilst Lescott isn't a great passer he is certainly a good player, harsh to speak lowly of him.
i am a fan of lescott and am greatful for the service, but we need to move to the next level. we got to have central defenders who are comfortable on the ball. less hoofing more possesion , also if they can make a pass that swings play from defence to attack . this is essential for counter attacking football.
something we are going to have to get right at the big boys grounds
correct..............been saying it for ages - but get lambasted here for speaking the truth.

Got stuck in with some important tackles, his vision was good under pressure and he didn't baulk against players like Di Maria and Ronaldo.
He still obviously has a lot to learn as he's only 19, but he looks to be a damn good acquisition.
He's immediately an improvement on Lescott, thats for sure. Looks to have natural ability, confidence and awareness/positional sense - things sadly lacking a bit in Lescott.......................
i thought he played well but too many people on here are turning back on lescott despite his part in past 3 years success

Totally. Cant believe a 19 year old could play so well in his first game in such a setting.

Yesterday was perfect for Lescott. He's up there with the best when it comes to defending his 6 yard box.

Its a squad, Lescott offers other attributes for other games, and with the number of games to play they will be rotated. Ultimately Nastasic will be his replacement, as Lescott is getting on in his career anyway. Last night this lad was far better than Vinny, who by his high standards had a poor game.nicholasjackson said:ANY1aBLUE said:MrOblivious said:What did everyone make of him tonight?

I agree. However the whole team defended poorly for their goals, so he might still not have made that much difference.
