Lescott has defended the enigmatic Italian striker and stated that it is not fair to blame http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937 solely for Manchester City’s failure to keep up with Manchester United in the English Premier League title race...
Manchester City’s defender has defended his fellow team mate amidst criticism from fans and pundits alike as the blue half of Manchester now find themselves five points behind Manchester United in the Premier League title race.
Manchester City were given a life line last weekend when United lost to Wigan at DW stadium as they closed down the eight point gap to just five points.
However even a five point advantage at this time in the Premier League standings is seen as too much for United, who are appearing to be relentless in their drive for a 20th league title. Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s team disposed
of Aston Villa in their last match and are set to host Everton in their next one. However both the Manchester clubs are scheduled to take on each other before the end of the season at the Etihad stadium.
Lescott said, "I think it's a bit harsh to solely blame Mario. He's a young player and he's going to make mistakes - we all did at that age. Obviously he's disappointed what happened with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 but hopefully he's learnt from
that. We're not dwelling on the past. Who's to say that if http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 had stayed he wouldn't have got injured and missed the rest of the season.”
He further stated, "We're just grateful that he's back and playing for Man City and scoring goals. No disrespect to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952 but we'd both like to think that we could win those games. So that means there is more emphasis
on the derby. No matter what we're going to have to win that game if we want to win the league and take control of our own destiny."
