When's the last season Aguero was dropped or 'rested' as much as this. Somethings defiantly gone on with him and Pep. Let's hope it pays of at least for today

Can't think of a game apart from Barcelona away that he was dropped/rested in?

+1, no complaints with that team.

I do...Kolarov is directly reposnsible for a goal (not for the first time this season) and he still starts over stones.........He has had his better performances at centre half (which says an awful lot about him actually ) but I just don't get how he regularly gets picked when he is such liability on a regular basis...i know pep likes him for his distribution and his ability to pick a pass out and to switch play....(which he doesn't do enough for me, partly because he is so one footed) but defensively the guy is a fucking liability on a very consistent basis.

KDB should have been dropped as well if this team selection is down to the anfield performance as he was the worst of the lot. Silva was far more involved defensively and attacking but maybe he is getting a rest

Men in white coats coming for you

To true navas frustrates the fuck out of me, was hoping for a calm day b4 bk to work 2moz, I guess not :(

Did Kun spend time in Argentina during his ban?
There's something going on.

 

[Sky Blue]

Oh good a comedian.

Look at his post history....

 

[wattle]

Kolarov been decent for me at CB, just left back were he's a massive liability

This. Perfect game for kolarov at cb. Just a fuckin useless lb. I think this might be the start of the end for Sergio :-(

 

[Adlab123]

You'll be first in the queue having a meltdown....

Nope he is behind me!

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

This Kolarov obsession is insane.

How does he keep starting?

 

[Pleatfooted]

Maybe the fact he is stronger, more dominant in the air and a better long range passer of the ball than Stones currently is has something to do with it.

This

pmsl.

this gets even better.

 

[simon23]

Ihenacho was brought on as sub. against 'Pool on 89 mins. Again he didn't get much game time with Kun suspended.
I don't think Pep trusts Itchy to do a job. Hope I am wrong.

I don't disagree with pep on that either...I know a lot of people rate him highly on here but for me he has a long way to go to making it as a true top of the class striker......he has it in him but he aint anywhere near yet

If I was nolito I'd be very pissed off

Stones was injured and just got back before the Lpool game. Obviously rested.

And yet he is starting him

 

[Goater=Legend]

Didn't Kolarov start at CB against Burnley away?

 

[Pleatfooted]

If I was nolito I'd be very pissed off

Yep, apart from being a tit getting sent off done nothing wrong for me

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Well he's not going to progress in 80 seconds, is he?

Let's se how today goes for him.

 

[urban genie]

the love for AK is tremendous, can see a norwich end of season 12/13 moment coming soon when Kola got shitloads of abuse from the southstand and corner 119

 

[deano ou812]

Maybe two games in 48hrs is too much especially as he's only back after his ban and his injury record to boot..

 

[simon23]

It's been obvious for a while that Pep's not exactly his biggest fan. With good reason too in my opinion.

Pep is wrong on that one then

He had zero support at anfield...nothing..KDB was absolutely wank that day and yet he still starts

To me this is more down to rotation and playing on Friday at Westham
