Far away from a finished article, Nasti features great positional sense and a decent intelligence of the game, particularly when considering his green age.
mind: Ted ain't harsh, let alone blind, he's living one of his moment of boredom ...:-)
Crowed Christmas fixtures shall help to recover
I've said that his positioning is very good. He just rarely covers for anyone else when they fuck up, like they do for him, wins any important headers, tracks runners when the offside trap is looking dodgy, tackles anyone or stops 1v1s.
Imo, that's what defenders are for.
At the moment, he is getting away with stuff by others covering or simply being allowed to escape criticism for mistakes because of his age, such as his absolutely pathetic attempt to stop Rooney from scoring. It was criminally awful technically & pretty gutless but nobody even mentioned it
Johnny Evans currently makes more crucial tackles & headers than Nastasic does & would probably have blocked that move.
mainly seasonal banter, Pal!
I agree on most of Your remarks re Nasti yet to much improve... couldn't be otherwise, and happy days.
Also wish to see more call up for the other Youngsters, regulars at 1st Team training sessions: all of them have numbers to to deepen. sadly, being out of League Cup dont help.
