So why did Mancini drop Lescot for Kolo?

[Mike N]

Now that the dust has settled, l still cant work out why be brought Kolo back in. I thought Lescot played well on Saturday and Toure has played one game in months. As it happened he was very poor and l think Mancini made a mistake with this selection. He could, and maybe should, have left the swap until Saturday.

I didn't understand that change either, Lescott has got more match fitness than Kolo and has a great partneship with Vinny, maybe he picked up a knock or something but I don't see the point of why Robbie swapped him for Kolo

CL experience (65 games v 0) and Kolo is more comfortable in possession.

Nor do I.

I am completely baffled by it. Lescott was my MotM on Saturday and certainly didn't deserve to be dropped.

Mind you, there will still be some on here who blame Lescott for last night's defeat.

He's the weak link, don't you know!

cl experience? what a load of tosh. lescott has been one of our best players the past 6 months and shouldnt of been dropped. arguably hes in better form than VK at the moment. this decision was the one that annoyed me the most

Not last night. KT was all over the place.
