He has cost us 4 points in the last 2 league games...... that's a fact.
I want us to get someone else for that position in the summer.

Lescott? How on earth have you worked that out?

Cannot name one other CB I'd swap him for, so we should count ourselves lucky we got him. Still like him to be as dominant as last season though, but we have less cover in midfield this season so not strange that we are leaking more goals.

Lescott the second best CB in the prem ?

I think it's actually quite debatable, Carl. I'm struggling to think of serious quality elsewhere.

Does he get the support just because he's English?
Theres nothing he can do really well, the thing who annoys me the most
is when he gets the ball, he has no creativity what to do with it
5yards back or sideways to the same player. Kolo can at least
go forward and make some decent passes.
For me its a ridle he can play at this level, i guess its just because
he is surrounded with high class players. He's like our days Ali Dia.

Probably because he's not "shit". After a dodgy start he has strung together some very good performances. The problem is he's not great - we're expecting better than just "pretty good" these days.

If Lescott isn't good enough on present form, then neither is Kompany. Blaming him for every mistake & ignoring the mistakes of his partner makes no sense. Even in distribution, it was Kompany who kept hitting stupid long pases to their keeper. Lescott only did it when left with nowhere to go; Vinny chose to do it.
If they're both shit then fine, get rid of the pair of them, but if Vinny is quality then so is Lescott, because he's playing better than him.

Vinny is going through a bad patch and will regain his arguably world-class form....Lescott is just an above average player who needs replacing in the first 11 by someone who is better than him and can actually bring something to the table attack wise.
