Aleksandar Kolarov - 2016/17 performances

[alib]

Absolutely magnificent today

 

[SebastianBlue]

Thinks he's Pique or Ramos now.

One shot to the ribs and bang he was down. What a softie.

Either fishing or a moronic comment.

I'll assume the former and give you a pass.

 

[Tevez City]

Our best centre back this season

I agree.


After spending +120 million pound on Mangala,Otamendi and Stones it seem Kolarov is the best CB we have right now.


Well done to Pep for changing his position.

I actually think Stones and Kolarov are on equal footing (and both have made their share of mistakes this season)—it's just that neither can handle covering for Otamendi's cavalier style. I'm not even sure Kompany would be able to on a regular basis.

They seem to be our best pairing and allow our play out of the back to work.

I'm with BJL. A ball to the chest and he went down like he'd been shot, leaving us a man light in the box. Dave took one in the knackers late on and played on, nearly setting up a third.

Kolarov the "hard man"

Hold still and let me punch you just at the arc of your last rib.

Ok, now go out there and play! What? You want a second to recover?

Softie.

 

[eversince 76]

Faultless. And what a passer of the ball. By far the best defender the way Pep wants them. Kolarov never seems to panic when having the ball. Definitely needs to stick around another year. Lefty CBs are rare. Rightly praised on here. At last.

Ironically the team is yet to lose(in the league) when kolarov and otamendi start together and average better points compared with when stones and kolarov start together. What I would say though is that both stones and otamendi perform considerably better with Kolarov beside them than they do when they start together. In fact Kolarov might be the most important part of the defence going forward for the rest of the season as he offers the team so much balance

 

[MC ID]

He really has had renaissance under Pep, I was a fan and defended him for a long time but by the end of last season I wanted him away as much as everyone else.

Somewhat similar to David Luiz at Chelsea in that when both are told to stay back and deep, they've both really upped their respective performances as they no longer have to jump in and out of position constantly.
