Aleksandar Kolarov - 2016/17 performances

[Cityfan]

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.

When have we played Burnley?

Poor tonight, but let's not ignore his otherwise excellent performances so far this season. Don't think he should start at centre back against teams that are going to pressure us away from home though.

I'll judge him on the games I've seen so far. He's been in our top 3 performers over the 8 games. I'd rather give him credit for that than call him out as a weakness against supposedly top teams.

Told you.

Told you.

Told me what? You've waited for his first poor game in 11 to come on with a "told you" post?

Told you he was too square to play centre back against a decent team. If you'd like to come back next time this happens I'm happy to do it again.

As others have said he was poor tonight, but in the Grand scheme of things he's been reborn under Pep.

Exactly,its obvious he needs time and space to display the attributes that we have been praising of late.Against high energy teams that press his weaknesses are exposed and he becomes a liability again.

Any professional should not fuck up the way he did for the 3rd goal though?

Yet professionals have done worse and will continue to do so all long as the game exists.

Yet you see it week though in week out by top players. Everyone can have an off game or make a mistake.
