I am sure Bobby learnt a bit more about the lad in this game. He will be fine against sides who play football on the floor as he has bags of ability and a good football brain, but sadly through his stamp at the moment he is going to struggle against big forwards in the premier league because sides in the lower half will use the ariel root more often than not, against us. Give him time he is a talent and will need time.

Predictable writing off from many of a promising player after one start. I can understand during the match when things are tense but when it's all died down I'd like to expect a more rational debate. Some people on here are merely paraphrasing hansen ffs, terrible.

Shows some good stuff, but looks a little small all-round to be a commanding centre half to me.

 

[Freestyler]

Not quite ready for Premiership football yet imo.

I like the look of him, just needs time.

It looks like he can pass a ball out from the back, we don't really have many who can and never have.

Harsh to judge the lad when he was up against two big lumps like Helguson and Bothroyd, pretty sure Vince wouldn't have enjoyed the aerial assault either.

Granted he was shaky but I didn't see Jolene bailing him out very often either.

Needs to hit the gym and be more agressive defending crosses

I think it was a decent PL debut and everyone that look closely (not only on 2-3 highlights) can see his potential

Mancini has tried to introduce him gradually, the last 15 mins of games that were in the bag, carling cup games and the villareal stroll. With the benefit of hindsight this may not have been the best preparation for a fulll blooded, up and at 'em arial bombardment. But he'll learn from it.

Our basic problem is that Savic, Kolo and Lescott are all best suited to playing alongside a dominant centre half like Vinnie, not replacing him. We may need to replace one of them, probably Kolo, with a big, ugly stopper.

poor performance yesterday. 2 mistakes and 2 conceded goals

ALL last summer I was being criticised for saying we needed to buy in a world class centre half because the ones we had weren't good enough and we would suffer for it.
Kompany gets suspension and the back four look rudderless and full of errors.
It is quite conceivable that Kompany could get another suspension, long term injury or go further off colour - it happens. In May, if we haven't bought a proper Centre Half in January, it will come home to roost.
We got away with it V QPR - they are a very average team, that wont happen against better ones.
Hansen merely said what I was saying all summer - it is an achiles heel. Supporters here saying otherwise are sticking their heads in the sand.

This Prem Title will come down to 2-4 points - the central defence could cost us those points............................

Thought the lad did a great tackle yesterday then all I heard from these clueless muppets on tv was if he had gone down it would have been a penalty, qpr played on Slavic it was a tough full game for the lad,
