I agree, another good performance. He is our best option at the moment at left back and a reliable option at center back.

MOTM performance and showing again what a valuable player he is in this Pep team. Any idea how many times he was asked to start the build up play? Stones not enough confidence. Clichy not able to. Yaya with his back towards the opponents goal. Even when KdB or Jesus dropped back they played it to one man.
Poor defensively? If he is all our defenders other than a fit Kompany are Championship material. Time to give Kolarov more respect.

Did nothing wrong and i like him as CB
I have very low self esteem, so forgive me for taking this opportunity to (honestly) say;
I always knew he was a very decent defender and footballer, with far more mental strength than people thought. He got stick for not playing the hard man... but for a couple of seasons he's been far and away the cleverest of our players at winning FKs from F.A. Time after time, he gets his legs between ball and tackler and gives the ref no option.
Pleasantly suprised how well he coped in the air today.

I genuinely cant see where the praise comes from?
He often invites pressure,and problems,with his backwards or sideways passing,frequently into the feet of a team mate who is already being pressed,and he constantly gives away school boy fouls - his all round decision making is generally piss poor.
Add that to the fact he looks like he's running in treacle,has a turning circle bigger than a double decker bus,and it really does make for a very poor footballer.
I cant wait to see the back of him.

MOTM performance? Steady on. He had a fairly solid game but is hugely one footed and he slowed down play on lots of occasions when we need to breaking out fast. John Stones is willing to drive forward with the ball and Aleks needs to do this too. Didn't put a foot wrong but MOTM is stretching it a little.
