He gets a lot of stick, in fact the bloke who sits next to me hates him!

I don't know why people get so wound up with him? He's a decent enough player, he's no world beater, just decent. His performances since he has been here have been consistent. Decent enough

If you accept that he is only 'OK' then your view of his performence will probably change dramatically

Because he's utter wank? Slows down every attack, having to shift his entire body with a massive step backwards so he can mishit a simple pass, smash the ball into row Z or bludgeon the first defender's shins.

MOTD nuetral viewers will love him when they show the one cross or free kick that he hits well but they don't see the other half a dozen to dozen crosses and shots that a pub league player would be ashamed of.

Posters are putting up more of a defence for him on here than he does on the pitch.

That's my point, he is shit/average so I don't know what people expect

You asked why they get wound up.

Yes he's shit and his performance against Leicester was standard for him but no matter how often I see him perform as such it's still gonna wind me up to see him fuck everything up.
 
Look at that cross again that he fired in against Leicester..a very dangerous cross..somebody should have been on the end of it...but they were too far in front of it.
 
Defensive midfield..none existent..no shape to it whatsoever.this poor guy is City through and through..the whipping boy..very unfair and for a good fullback who's won lots of trophies from the start. Sure he's not perfect but wouldn't swap him for anyone else. I'm blue and proud of it..I've never slated anyone in a blue shirt at the match ever.always got behind them. I've seen bad players over the years and I mean bad...this guy isn't one of them by a long stretch.
 
What I particularly like about him, is the way he takes that extra touch, allowing all the oppo defenders to cover all the angles, then telegraphs where he is about to hoof the ball, then either clogs it into the defender's leg or punts it at that fat bloke on row z.

I also admire the way he manages to suddenly sneak in a couple of 'ok' performances, thus lulling us all into a false sense of security, before treating us to his full repertoire of hilarious Danny Baker video style, footbaling tomfoolery.

'i hold my hands up' we say. 'Kolarov has really surprised me'. Then, without warning, out comes the swanee whistle & kazoo & he's off again.

It doesn't help him that we play with no holding midfield players and we don't stick anybody in the box when we attack!

Exactly, there was far less of a problem when Barry or De Jong were sitting and covering for the attacking full backs. Fernando is our only real holding midfielder (and not that good at it) - Yaya, Dinho and Delph are all natural box to box players who often drift forward and leave a big gap behind the full backs. Yes, Kolarov had a poor game on Saturday but then not many in a City shirt were anything other than poor, though one or two were downright abysmal.

Yes our attackers were running into an area where Leicester's defence gobbled up the ball all day.

Kolarov has been delaying his crosses since the team tactics have been to have a maximum of one attacker in the opposition box.

The midfield who aren't great at tracking back don't seen to make it into goal scoring areas.

It's a waste of time picking Kolarov if the invisible Coty man is in the box because when he goes for the Hollywood efforts they very rarely come off.
 
We need one of those full backs that can single handedly run a defence, win every aerial battle, run faster than walcott, has the engine of vidal and can find the one 5'8 attacker in the box around the 7 defenders...

No we just need a defender who can do his job - think Zabba of two years ago but left footed. Passion, commitment and more importantly a desire to actually get back and help when a move breaks down.

If Zaba wasn't beyond criticism because he's really likeable he'd probably have a thread like this in fairness. Zaba has always benefitted from the clever link up we play on the right while kolarov is much more set up to overlap and cross without the assistance of Silva or previously nasri to work openings in the box.

The whole defence got skinned on Saturday. also, Delph (who has played well up until the weekend) was partly responsible for two goals conceded.

Where Kolarov was at fault defensively, Mahrez was just too good for him like he was the rest of our team. Kolarov was in the right position.

I would have picked Clichy and maybe we would have lost 2 - 1.
