Next time he throws himself into a tackle think at least one of them is trying to stop an attack

Many will laugh at me for what i am about to say...
He's by far Citys best center back at the moment. Most of the criticism comes from his tendency to rush in, this is easily fixed. It requires less work then the other centre backs require. He has a strong tackle and he intercepts the ball better then all the other center backs available. He's very strong in the air, however his tendency to 'rush in' sometimes causes him to get stuck under the ball. What i love about him is he is a warrior. If he stops rushing into situations he would be a solid center back, in my opinion the best in the premier league. If most of you get your wish and he is sold, a team like Chelsea would be foolish not to snap him up.

He's hands down our best defender. much rather him continue to get stuck in than revert to backing off and off until the player on the ball shoots like Stones does

Agree with you mate,would like to see us play with a left back and then judge him
I agree, he is by far the best and i rate him very highly. Of course you don't want him to constantly back off, but he just needs to be a little more smarter. Sometimes holding your position is enough, you don't need to go forward or backwards.He's hands down our best defender. much rather him continue to get stuck in than revert to backing off and off until the player on the ball shoots like Stones does

He's a fucking fairy, not a warrior.
The one thing that really surprises me is, people agree with you. He's part of the problem we have, and has been since he arrived. The fact people clutch at 'he's not as bad as the others' as his praise is enough to tell you he's contributing to our shit.
You can't excuse his 'rushing in' by saying if he didn't do it he would be alright; because he does do it, it's not sometimes (it's very frequent) and he gets it wrong as much as he does right.
He would not be, and isn't, anywhere near one of the best defenders in the league. He doesn't have the brain, he dives instead of defending, he has too many lapses in concentration, he's often rash, his amazing passes are often intercepted (only to be met by "oooo" and "ahhhhh" as it was a defence splitting 30 yard pass attempt), he can't command any players along side him and his positional sense is as bad as Kolarov's.
That's a lot to sort out for a 29 year old footballer who has displayed these traits in our side for well over a year now.

I disagree with everything you have sed so I won't comment on it all. Even as he is, in my opinion he's one of the best defenders in the prem right now no question about it, if he adjusts his play slightly or gets his timings better he will be the best, hands down.
