Is he better CB than LB ?

Debatable. What I would say is we need him more at LB than CB because IMO Clichy is one of the few players who is struggling to reach that "Pep" level. In previous years it was always Clichy > Kolarov for me, not anymore.
 
One or two sloppy long passes and a ridiculous shot early on which Pep had a word with him about but once again he was very good. The biggest surprise of the lot for me this season.

I think he is far better at CB. His decision tree is more diverse and his attention to detail, strength in the air and passing is a lot better.
 
Kolarov had a good start to last season too. The difference is that if his levels start to drop Pep will not allow him to get away with it. So far this season he has been excellent including a heroic display at the swamp last week.
 
Pep has turned him into our Maldini! And I'm being serious. He's almost faultless these days.
 
Man of the match today, Didn't put a foot wrong defensively in a position that was completely alien to him 2 months ago and started so many attacks with absolutely inch perfect cross field passes that no other defender we have is capable of. Can see precisely why he was picked today ahead of Stones and didn't disappoint. Continues to prove the vast majority on here very very wrong.

I've not seen today's game but great to hear he is playing very well as a centre half,i never saw that coming as id justifiably written him off countless times as a left back.
Seems he has had an attitude change and reinvented himself.Made up for the bloke and for us.
