Aleksandar Kolarov - 2016/17 performances

[cucumberman]

Well, he could have simply headed it back towards the keeper...

If it's on MOTM later I'll have a rethink, but I remembered the ball was directly overhead and he couldn't have possibly controlled header it back to the keeper with two Swansea players close enough to give it a good chase. I remembered at the time it was the only option to clear it back up than send it down to the keeper with a flying header.

Not sure which kolorov you watch but some of his passing today in to the forwards was excellent

Made over 100 pasess today and completed 91% of them.

Had a cracking game.

My MOTM. Hugely underrated by some fans but not by consecutive managers which tells it's own story.

 

[waspish]

Reads the game well wins 99% of headers sure he had a few passes go astray but he is a good centre back. He be here next season pep loves the guy.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Another shocker with Clichy !

The amount of times Gabriel come to show for the ball only for this guy to look at him and ignore him and turn and play the ball backwards. I lost count. He must be so frustrating to play with.

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.

Kolarov was coming forward far more than Stones today. If there is space in front of him, he'll run into it and then look for the pass , where as others just look for a square ball regardless of how much space is in front of them.

I thought he had a solid game today. But was at the match with my dad who thought he offered nothing and is too one footed. That said if Kolarov put in a world class performance he wouldn't give him praise, nor would others on here I am sure.

The way we are set up by Pep is to get Kolarov on the ball in space, he is constantly the one free to bring it forward. I actually don't like him at all as I think he is always capable of shocking errors and poor positioning - fairs fair though he played well today and helped nullified Llorente. Only play him as a centre back but please not a left back.

He's fucking shite.

Stop it. People can't and don't wanna see this. Still many on here look to find the minor mistake to try and keep Kolarov the scapegoat. They honestly are sick to death seeing Kolarov playing a great game as a CB week in week out. They rather choke than eating their words.

Our own players try to avoid Clichy getting the ball. The opponents try to do everything to make it happen. Unfortunately playing Kolarov CB gives Pep no other option than playing Clichy LB.
