Those who want him out with such passion look like being disappointed, since he's been named in our CL squad for the qualifying game, it means we must be quite confident that he isn't leaving in the next 2 weeks. Of course he could go after that, but if he plays in the qualifier, he'll be cup tied thereafter I assume, which removes our ability to sell him to another CL team, and I can't see him going to a club not in Europe because of his wages.

Break it gently why don't you.
My eyes must be playing tricks on me - he look utter gash from the stands.

We can all play that game, here's Clichy letting Enner Valencia run past him for the first goal, where's all that pace of his?

Clichy is also prone to mistakes, that's no secret, there's a reason why everyone said that leftback was by far our worst position going into this summer. Kolarov is however the worst out of the two, which is why he's being put on the chopping block.

He wouldn't be cup tied. You can play for a club in the qualifiers and a different club from the group stage onwards.
 
Clichy or him both are limited add to the list sagna ( going forward ) and right now zabaleta

there is an urgent need to adress those positions otherwise ... its not a rocket science. yes general public and fans we are not specialist we are not managers but sometimes its obvious to figure out the weak links

So, if it's so obvious, why do you think we aren't buying full backs ? My guess is the manager and DOF decided their were more important areas to address. Fullbacks will wait until next summer.

If you don't: couldn't be arsed.

Although under both pellegrini and mancini I've seen our top players seemingly "not bother" at times. Real at home. Wigan final.

I see it from Kolarov most of the time.

He's had some decent periods, usually lasts around six games or so, where he's looked up for it but then he just reverts back to can't be bothered Kolarov.

Actually many blues have said he is better than clichy over the years, not just me ! Certainly the evidence is there for all to see, he's scored 19 more goals than Clichy in roughly the same number of games and created far more opportunities and goals for others. I would suggest that is a major factor in judging a full back these days. So rather than coming back with moronic insults you might give us a more intelligent reply !

There is not a lot more that can be said about your post.So Kolarov the lazy twat has created more goal scoring opportunities than Clichy. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I wonder how many goals conceded have been the direct hopelessness of Kolarov compaired to Clichy.I wouldn`t go there if I were you.Give me a full back who firstly can defend and shows more endeavour and determination than someone who really doesn`t give a flying fuck about anything but himself.

There is no mmmmmmmm about it, its a fact ! In modern football a crucial element of being a good full back. Lazy twat ?, another typical insult that is just complete bollocks. All of our fullbacks do more running than any other players in the squad, largely because they have had zero cover from midfield in the past few years. Now to move on to defending, I can think of the mistake Kolarov made at Southampton away, but am struggling to think of any others off the top of my head. All teams concede goals now and again, we have been pretty good defensively over the last five or six years and Kolarov has played a good part in that. He's been a good player for us, not a lazy twat. Getting past it a bit now and maybe he will go, but the level of vitriol aimed at this player from some of our so called fans is diabolical.

Thank you Mrs Kolarov.
 
From what I've seen of Kolarov, I like him. He seems to have a good sense of humour & when City score, he's one of the first to celebrate with the scorer.
However, he's sadly lacking as a defender. He's positionally poor, his tackling is average at best, he's not good with his head & he fails to read the game well. He also appears to be keener to get forward than back. He's very one-footed (though that criticism could be levelled at many). Full back is hard position to play. You're expected to defend well of course, but also to support the forwards & supply crosses which means getting up & down the wing a lot. His crossing is better than most, but he can't defend well enough & his shooting, although sometimes spectacularly good, is erratic - too much so for the number of shots he takes when other options are available.

Just my opinion, but my heart sinks when I see his name on the team list :(
 
I got no issue with Kolarov except his defending. I am not in this hate group who just "think he is shite" but tbh having watched him for years (And unless he is loved and respected by his team mates as a leader) he isnt worth his place. His defending has been poor at times, but what has been worse has been some of it was just down to laziness, not alll of them but there were occasions when he just needed to chase back and didnt.
 
Not much middle ground when comes to Mr Kolorov
Can't really blame the dislike after that one play vs. Southampton.
And he's had his ups and downs through his time here.
But I think that's the point
He is still here.
Whether Pep gets rid or not he sees something
Or he would be beside Mangala, Bony, Navas,and Nasri right now.
Last year was terrible
Injuries, lame duck manager, shit morale, all the rest.....
Kolorov has a decent chance of staying
I hope he gets his chance for redemption
And I think it's in the midfield
 
He is a left back.
His primary duty is to defend.
He does not do this well enough.
I couldn't give a toss about his comedic talents or his attacking prowess.
He's a fecking defender and a not very good one at that.
Get rid now!
Rant over.

In your opinion but the one that matters is that of Pep. I reckon I will trust him before I will you on this right now. Players play differently under different systems and if it works it will be good for City
