dont want to turn it into a witch hunt, but kolo scares the shit out of me everytime he plays, everything seems to be hurried or a panic, nowhere near the fantastic player arsenal had.

he also has an uncanny knack of getting drawn to the ball, and making a mistake, allowing the opposition in behind.

not really sure if he will ever regain his arsenal form, and in a back 3 is way too much of a liability.

for someone clearly desperate to play, he cannot argue about being dropped on the back of yesterdays display

He's about a stone overweight which doesn't help.

SHAKY! is how I'd describe him. got little confidence about what he's going to do.

He is a shadow of the player at Arsenal,not quite as bad as some make out but certainly not good enough to start games,especially at Anfield or similar.....

It seems to me he is almost too keen to impress,this in itself causes errors and uncertainty.

If anything i would play him at rightback,he just doesn't look comfortable or dependable in the middle.Saying that,moving him on and finding a younger,better and cheaper alternative would be for the best.

Perhaps Mancini was sending the message, "this is what will happen if we don't sign another central defender".

He seems keen on using 3-5-2, so we will be seeing more of Kolo if no-one comes in before Friday.

I agree though, he has always been poor for us, even under Hughes, I was never comfortable with him and Lescott at the back.

There was a moment in the 2nd half where he passed the ball straight out of play for a throw-in. I should have been frustrated at such a terrible pass, but i actually found myself relieved that he didn't lose it in-play and concede a counter-attack. A Liverpool throw-in seemed like a very good outcome from Kolo Toure having the ball.

Mancini had no choice with Lescott carrying a knock and Clichy not available, which I think is Mancini's point. I also think he'd like to see someone who can play the Barry role in Barry's absence other than Yaya, who is wasted there. I'm pretty sure Mancini has made these points privately, but still he awaits the arrivals.
