Lescott today was awful, not only was his decision for their penalty shocking to say the least, I mean who the fuck was he waving at when the cross came in???....that was a clear penalty and put us in a dodgy position, Kolo Toure is a FOOTBALLER, who plays with the ball at his feet, not looking 60 yards upfield to lump it to the "big man"......what Toure needs is a partner with pace, strength and a equally adept footballing brain to compliment him.

Toure and NEDUM ONOUHA.

I did watch closely, like I have done every other game we've played this season (apart from the League Cup games which I haven't gotten up at 3am for).

I don't think he is a leader. I agree he is carrying Lescott somewhat but when he signed we were hearing all these great things about him on the ball. All I've seen so far is hoof upon hoof. Now people can blame Hughes all they want but when a player is on the ball it's up to him to decide what sort of ball he plays.

I genuinely don't think he's an upgrade on Dunne.

Lescott is totally devoid of confidence and the kindest thing Hughes could do would be to drop him for a couple of weeks so the media get off his back.
Ned and Toure for me.
Bridge didn't have such a bad game in my opinion.
