Our defence was looking much improved before the recent injuries. Kolarov was a part of that. He is an attacking full back and plays to fine margins. I would like to see him improve defensively, stop crosses coming in and, like Zabba, hold his man up without diving in where he can be easily beaten. He's played every game for City this season, as well as Internationals for Serbia... I think he deserves some slack. Fortunately we've had a good start in all competitions and are in a good position and Clichy should be closer to a return soon which means we can carefully select games for Kolarov to play. I'd say the same on the right hand side. Sagna has been excellent this season and Zabaleta will have to find form quickly if he's to be the preferred right back. He didn't have a good season last time out but has been one of our best players in the years before.
