Joleon Lescott - GONE

[villan from luton]

Lescott is good but he will make just as many mistakes as Clark
Clark is a good CB and can improve, Lescott had experience but will not get any better

I think both are good options, but anyone thinking either will be error free will be disappointed

Worth quoting as the last post on this thread. His passing was very bad today.

He's only two games into his Villa career, but from games against Leicester and West Brom I've not seen anything that Clark wouldn't have done either as well or better. He's not been disastrous, but I don't think Clark would have been either.

Some of the passes he sent sailing out of play reminded me of James Collins' glory days, and Rondon beat him to pretty much everything that they send forward.

His legs are gone, completely gone at that

As much as WBA may have overpaid for Jonny Evans, they are a much better defence without Lescott in it

Clark had a poor game v Sunderland but Id have him ahead of Lescott all day

His legs have not gone and he has improved Villa

 I completely agree Dave. He reminded me of Southgate - whose passing was abysmal for a former midfielder - but I had forgotten the Collins sand wedge.

 I thought the writing was on the wall defensively when he was beaten to a cross from the left after 1m where Rondon flashed in a header despite starting behind Lescott.

While the rest of the defence pushed out as a unit lescott ran back n the line and this meant berahino goal stood

He's said on Twitter that there is no time to mope with the biggest game of the season coming up.

I thought we had a championship side in the league cup?

I'll probably get slated for saying it but I thought he was pretty poor

For the players and Sherwood it is the biggest game. Lose this and the fans will turn.

When's okore back ?

[Risso]

To be honest I don't think Lescott and the rest of the defence are the main problem. Midfield and especially up front are where we're weak.

I didn't think we defended too badly on Saturday. Rondon got the run on him for the header early on, but there wasn't a great deal of pressure exerted on either centre half.

I'm certainly not reach for the tired cliche's just yet about legs and their disappearance.

[LukeJames]

Amavi is the one. His first few games at the Villa has a worryingly striking parallel to that of Antonio Luna's.

Rubbish!!

Luna scored

I'm sure it said on the OS last week that he is back in full training, will take a few weeks to get his fitness up though I assume
