Lescott and kompany

[citytilidie]

richards was shocking today, anelka had him everytime! agree re vince and lescott

How can you say shocking. We have just beaten the league leaders 4-2 and you say one of our players was shocking. Yeah maybe not one of his best games but who cares. Contributed to the team and all heroes.

he was abysmal every time anelka cut in side he just let him drift in to the box

The team foundations are now in place.Build from the back and reap your rewards...This pairing are gladiators.

I just worry that they'll be broken up when Toure gets back.

My fears as well but surely they've done enough now to keep their place at the heart of our defence.

Good job tonight.

Gets back from where, he's been sat on the bench watching Kompany take his place from him surely?

[Chinners]

Definately the best central defensive partnership we have had since Dunne & Distin.

THIS

That.

Both

On their respective displays today Terry should be looking nervously at Lescott.

[10.Goater_Legend]

HAVE to stay as our Cb's, Toure should be back up to these two.

Tht £24m is starting to look good value for money!!

on todays display it looks a lot better than the 30 odd we were gonna spend on JT

Definately, on their form at the moment, Lescott is England's number 1 centre back.

Fair play to Lescott, he's taken a while to bed in. I still think he's no more than a £15mil player but hey, it's how he plays, not the cost, that matters.

[cityPinoy_fc]

both played well i'm glad lescott is starting to show what he can do keep it up jeleon.

Well he probably is worth 15-20m, but every player was overvalued in the summer.

I have to hold my hand up and say Kompany and Lecott look very good together. I wasn't a fan of Kompany and IMO he definitely was at fault for the goal today, but his overall performances in defence have both suprised and impressed me.

Well done Vinny, more of the same please!

[failsworthblue]

Yep our strongest pairing by far.

Toure aint coming back mate , unless one of them gets injured and he will be gone in the summer.

[Blue2]

Lescott was excellent, but thought Vinny was a bit dodgy and definately at fault for tehre goal.

Very true. Terry has been shite in recent weeks, whilst Lescott has been getting better and better.

[Crossie]

Vinny does make the odd mistake, but remeber when Distin and Dunne were the best CB pairing outside the top 4, there were games where you would think Distin was covering up Dunnes fuck ups, and vice versa.

As long as a pair they complement each other and cover each other, they will work.

Vinny is aggressive and vocal, and really really up for every game, every minute, you can see him get pissed off with himself when he makes a mistake, and he encourages those around him, something Lescott seems to need.

Finally found our best back 4.

Now for the midfield!

I'm still not entirely convinced by our Right Back but the rest of your post is spot on IMO.

[Bojinov's left foot]

Kompany and Lescott to the end of the season and this will give us a great chance of top 4. Not convinced about Richards at right back, gives a few needless free kicks away. Fine with Bridge to the end of the season and maybe next season aswell.

Mancini was listening to me.
