Whilst I agree with the notion that Clichy should play ahead of Kolarov. I have been stunned by Clichy, I can't believe Arsenal let him go. I personally think he is the best in the league.
What I don't get is the dismissal of Kolarov. I constantly read that he his poor defensively, the Derby aside when he gave that pen away I can't think of too many games where his defensive abilities have cost us, I would be interested and happy if people wanted to educate me.
I wonder if Kolarov is so poor defensively why this is the second season in a row we have had the best defence. The way we play, he will struggle if he gets isolated against an attacking winger and a team that plays an attacking full back too.
In general whilst I can see frailties in his defensive abilities, I see them as no real issue, see our defensive record with him in the side for this.
When his fully fit he is decent, not brilliant but decent, last 10 games of last season I thought he looked really good. Add to this his free kicks, and crossing and you have a thoroughly decent player who deserves games. He is a decent back up and seems to have a great attitude. I like him and see it as a positive that we have one outstanding left back, and one who could play for anyone outside the top 4 Everton aside. Oh and he's better than that Spurs clown. Say what you will but I've not seen many players skin Gerrard and whip in such a devastating cross. My argument i she's decent, a more than adequate back up who deserves games.
