Don't know what to make of Kolarov's performance tonight. Bad mistake for their third.
Fairly simple, he was pretty poor all night. However so were a lot of players compared to the standards we've been setting so far this season.

He's been pretty great so far though, everyone can have a bad game - more interested to see what he does against top opposition like Barca.

Hopefully Stones plays at CB against Barca, not Kolarov
 
He's been a revelation this season, but tonight he was shocking. He wasn't alone though.

It's why I don't want to criticise him as he's been great this season. His passing and concentration was off tonight though.

Haha, expecting him to be on the pitch though, likely at LB as you say.

Think he's had a great start to the season, but still not convinced he's good enough until we see him against proper opposition, I don't count United's long ball tactics.
 
Exposed the first game he has to actually do any defending, which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has ever seen him play for us before. People seem to be getting far too carried away with a few games where he had no defending to do and had all the time in the world to just pick long passes, but today he completely bottled it and just randomly hoofed it most of the time.

Him and Otamedni make a terrible partnership, both combine being too slow with a love of completely committing themselves high up the pitch, it's a recipe for disaster as they showed today and at times against Burnley, though we got away with it then because Burnely are even wanker than Celtic. No idea why Stones didn't start, playing a drunk Fernandinho in front didn't help either as he's been doing most of the defending for them this season, he sobered up at halftime and we improved, but I've no idea how Kolarov stayed on the pitch.

He had a good start to the season last year too but turned to shit.

He isn't a CB and against a side with pace and one that works that hard he will struggle. If he has to play,
Keep him on the left because Clichy is very average.
 
Poor tonight. Started the season very well but did so last season. We will have to wait and see how he pans out this season. Think hes ok at Centre back against team who let us have the ball but Celtics pressing game caused our defence a lot of problems.
