one person saying that this was good defending. Don't lump everyone together. There are plenty of people who can support Nasti, but also recognize the mistakes he makes, and that was a howler. Really bizarre that he would not even jump there.
He's done the same many times.
I mean in general though. When Lescott was paying regularly, even a slight hesitation on a pass would bring a selection of negative comments, even if he did nothing wrong, & if he made an actual mistake, it would bring a lynch mob.
I've mostly just sat & observed re Nastasic after initially pointing out a percentage of his errors to try even it out & being called obsessed, which made me laugh considering the treatment JL gets. I just left it for the most part but yesterday, he was crap, & people can't just sweep that away. Recently some people have mentioned some of his fuckups & complained about it, but still it's only about 10% that get picked up on.
I actually think he's done ok for a kid, but he has dropped lots of bollocks from small to large & just isn't a proper defender at this stage. JL will get absolutely slaughtered tomorrow if he plays a typical Nastasic game. I just don't get it. They are both City players entitled to the same treatment & each performance should get the same scrutiny.
Someone earlier posted about Demichelis 'losing his man' for Chelsea's 1st, but what the fuck was Nasti doing at the time ? Runs towards the near post but doesn't even stick a foot out to intercept ? What was his intention ? Why was he there ?
No mention; just Demichelis at fault. Remember JL being amongst a group of players caught out near post earlier in the season ? He certainly got a starring mention, even though there were other players there as well.
I don't understand why one gets his hat nailed on & another gets away with almost everything.
I don't believe that Sunday's goal would be just Joe Hart's fault if Lescott had been defending it.
