Ted Hughes wrote:Thanks Doug. Although the threat of Adebayor & delivery from Barry at set pieces is obvious, I don't think it's a coincedence that we've scored 2 since Lescott arived. He's pulling defenders all over the place & his attacking of dangerous areas of the box is encouraging some of the other players to be more active. Whether it's a natural thing or something that Sgt Moyes has drilled into him I don't know but it works.
Dunne (bless him) was useless & ambled in to the back post with barely any threat whatsoever, often giving away free kicks or 'heading' the ball for a goalkick, often with his face.
A bloke on Bluemoon who'd been in City's dressing room before the game, posted a picture which showed a perfect diagram of that corner pinned on the wall so they definitely did work on it!

Lescott is proving to be the right move already, even though we overpaid for him he does a job at both end. So I guess he is really only half the price.

Regarding the Lescott price. Does anyone ever mention the amount that Ferdinand cost U***d over 6 years ago now? If we get 3/4 good years out of Lescott and I have no reason to think we wont be getting a centre half in his prime then the price will seem irrelevant.
