Christ you're relentless. I sometimes wonder if you are on the wind up.He's just another Yaya.
All the talent in the world but can't be arsed using it unless he's going to get a little bit of personal glory. We need team players, players who will sacrifice themselves for the good of the collective and until we do that we'll never fulfil our potential as a team.
All players are allowed bad or even absolute shit games but such a lack of effort is inexcusable. The sooner he fucks off the better. If Clichy needs a rest then we have Angelino desperate for a chance to try and prove himself. Like I've always said pick players on merit and not reputation/big names.
Knew it was a risk to post this sort of stuff - but it is the truth, take or leave it, I don't mind at all just posted because I was so incensed by his recent performance.
It really annoyed me to see that but he may just not have seen him. He was chasing back on the fourth. This may simply just be me trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. However, truth be told, we've seen numerous players over the years simply just not try. I still remember Nasri hiding behind Dzeko in the wall against the rags from RVP's winning free-kick that he could have blocked and we've seen Yaya not tracking back for years. Aleks should have done better but this ridiculous level of hate for someone that has actually contributed to our history is excessive.
Agree with this.He looked more guilty of ball watching rather than couldn't be arsed.
Defensively he's never been great,though he's had more average to good games for us than terrible like yesterday.
I agree, he's been good for us most of the time, and who knows Pep might turn him on.When Aleks goes I'll respect his contribution, really not half as bad as he's made to seem these days.
he is dreadful, needs to leave this summer.I agree, he's been good for us most of the time, and who knows Pep might turn him on.

Has he gone yet?
We seem to be trying to shift all the players that I hoped we would in Nasri, Mangala and Bony. I can see Navas, Yaya, Fernando, Caballero and possibly Hart all surviving for another season because they can still do a job in areas that need it.
However, the lack of movement on the Kolarov front is heartbreaking. I want him out of the club.
He is mateIf Pep wants him at City for at least the immediate future then that's good enough for me. He's not a top-class LB but nor is he as bad as some on here make out.
Heartbreaking ? Out of the club ? ! I noticed Clichy ( or Cliché as fred eyre calls him ) was in the list of our best squad according to the book that came with the season tickets. So as far as the legendary 'Buzzer' is concerned he thinks a player who has scored one goal for the club and creates next to nothing, which is a crucial aspect of being a full back these days, is better than one who has scored 20 goals for the club and created far more than the legend Gael. For me, Kolarov is a much better player all round than Cliché will ever be and maybe those that understand the game, including Pep Guardiola, agree. Its all about opinions but for me he played well for most of last season whilst Cliché was out injured. He may be past his best but I would have him over Cliché anyday of the week until we find a young replacement.
As an attacking full back he is as good as Zabaleta and the stats back that up, I grant you his defending isn't too hot but he has been used by both Mancini and Pellegrini mainly for his attacking qualities. Yes we could do better but we could also do a lot better than Clichy, who has had his share of defensive lapses and is not as good going forward.He is mate
