Fazio isn't actually that slow, you can see live he's actually quite quick when he gets in his stride
He did well to take the ball off hazard. Fazio reminds me of when mertesacker joined arsenal. Initially looked slow, ungainly and generally dreadful but slowly grew into the role.

Not a bad record!
As a pair they're still prone to a few errors but it's still early days as a partnership. Hopefully we can persist with it as they seem to have the attributes to compliment each other. Would be good if we can go into next season with the spine of the team taking shape as I feel the best teams always have a strong one.

True, it's just the first few yards really. Great record but Lloris deserves his share of the credit too!
Defenders should be rated on goals against not wins - and quite frankly our goals against stat is dire!!
Fazio is an absolute donkey.

Both have been very good. Verts has been looking more like the cb we signed originally.
Fazio has improved massively. Coming to the premier league as a centre back is very tough. Vidic looked awful initially.
These two are building a good partnership and long may it continue.
All players should be rated on wins. Which is why Zizou is one of the greatest of all time, despite poor 'goals scored/assisted' statistics.

Should have known that twãt would come out with some sort of nonsense. So on that basis Dani Alves is twice as good as Zabaleta because Barca have conceded 7 league goals compared to City's 19? You fool
Ledley's,
So on that basis Dani Alves is twice as good as Zabaleta because Barca have conceded 7 league goals compared to City's 19?
==================
What the fúck has Zabaleta and Alves got to do with the price fish? .
My comment is based on the fact that Fazio seems to make a blatant individual error that directly costs us a goal in nearly every game he plays.
Results have gone well recently but for the fans who actually watch the game(s) and / or have a football brain (Ledley’s excluded from both scenarios, obviously ) will tell you that our defending hasn’t actually been very good.
Leicester's goal = Fazio's fault. Bog standard defending.
The first half against Man Utd could have been 4 or 5 nil (thanks to Lloris it wasn’t) and whilst 5-3 is a good end result (and I’m still buzzing from that game ), conceding 3 goals at home isn’t evidence of good defending – Chelsea’s 3rd in particular.
But then I wouldn’t expect a with the brain power of a starfish to consider any of these things.
Ledley’s thought process is as follows:
Outcome of game: Spurs win or respectable draw
= good performance by everyone .
I have more brainpower than a starfish and I could point to a lot of goals conceeded that were not Fazios fault.
As I said he might not be the best in the world but he is our best option at the moment and no more a liability than any of the others

I love the fact your support of Fazio is that you can point out certain goals that were not down to his blatant individual errors. It’s not much of a compliment when you think about it.

What makes you think I am supporting Fazio?
I just happen to think he is our best option atm. I never said he was a great option just the best one that we have at the moment
