Looks fitter and more interested than last season

I said last season that if everyone plays shit, look at the manager. He way things are shaping, Pelligini is looking more and more inept than anyone thought!

Kolarov looking good, Otemndi staying on his feet, Sterling playing like Neymar etc. I appreciate its early days but things are looking good and just the passing and moving - I'm talking g about the basics of organisation work rate
 
As one of the very very few Kolarov defenders on here, i couldn't be any more delighted he's ramming the criticism up everyone's arse. Looks good wherever Pep plays him, and clearly the "lazy" tag is completely false as he seems to be one of Peps favourites, and his favourites are generally the hardest working players,

The lazy tag was not false at all.People go on about the away game at Southampton but there were considerably more game than that one where he couldn`t be arsed.However as one of his biggest critics, I have to say that so far in the two games we have seen under Pep I am pleasantly pleased with his form and both himself and Raheem look better players already.
We did see this at the beginning of last season where he showed a lot of stamina going forward,so I hope its not going to be a repeat performance,but I feel that unlike MP,Pep will not stand any fucking about from anyone.
So in a nutshell I`m happy to date that he`s proving me wrong.The old adage "one swallow doesn`t make a summer" springs to mind,but so far so good.
 
Delighted he's done well so far... Early days but it looks as though he's been given a new lease of life
 
He's been given clear instructions and he's sticking to them.

Today he was picking passes and keeping play moving when in positions where, if it was last season, he'd be shooting or drilling into someone shins attempting to cross.

2 games in and Pep is showing how poorly managed, if managed at all, many of our players were under Pellegrini.
 
Good to see him getting praise. Was always a good footballer, had his struggles like many others the last couple of seasons but if deployed properly and managed correctly he'll be an unexpected asset this year.
