You've missed the point mate. Don't do irony do you!!OK haha we
ITK? We were all over him!
Not whilst I've been drinking for 10 hours mate haha :)You've missed the point mate. Don't do irony do you!!
We will if he is played at full back,because he isnt one,never has been imo.Anyone think the real Kolarov will be back soon or do you genuinely think Pep has transformed him permanently .....
I think as a centre back he does have everything Pep requires. He's tall, good in the air, good with his feet, can switch play and has a mistake in him.Anyone think the real Kolarov will be back soon or do you genuinely think Pep has transformed him permanently .....

Seriously though, I think at centre back his weaknesses are hidden and his strengths stand out more. I would imagine he will only get better as he gets used to the position. It is early days yet and we haven't been tested by an elite forward, but when everyone is fully fit I'd expect Kompany and Stones to play. Kolarov could play some games at left back. He's definitely worth keeping on board and who knows, he could end up being integral to us....as ridiculous as that might sound after how most felt about him towards the end of last season. I know I for one couldn't wait to see the back of him.
Yeah I think it's becoming more and more obvious that not a lot of actual coaching has gone on over the last few seasons.He'll play a great deal of games at left back when we play the inverted full back system.. He slips back in to centre half effortlessly, allowing stones/Ota or even kompany when fit, to sneak into the midfield and drive us on. The problem with him as a left back is what he alluded to in his post match interview, time... The back 4 is always compact now, meaning communication is actually taking place.
There's no issue now because he's being coached, go figure!!!
Very clear and it pisses me off really. Probably more than it should, and I'm going to try to focus on what Pep is doing with the squad now.Yeah I think it's becoming more and more obvious that not a lot of actual coaching has gone on over the last few seasons.
