Is Kolarov the weak link?

[Tevez City]

One quick statistic detail:

Kolarov played 157 pro games,scored 15 goals
Clichy played 302 games, scored 2 goals

Do you know how many times did he lose the ball last night ?

How many wrong passes did he make ?

I know that Kolarov is great at free kicks, but that is not good enough at all !

Marcelo and Clichy are miles ahead of him.

Well, this guy don't have a speed to play WF or WB, i don't know, his game last night was bad.

No, it really, really wasn't. Madrid was pressing high and we were losing possession on all fronts and he did mis-control some touches, but--and this is every important and some fail to realize this--every player does this every game. He contributed quite a bit and you'll notice they didn't score from our left side even though they threw one of the top players in the entire world for a goodly portion of the match.

In a bad game of MCFC it's hard to find a weak spott of a team, but, for me, he don't have agressive style when is playing LMF

What did he do to suggest he had a bad game?

Defensively, which is the biggest thing people question him on - he was solid, and he got a goal. So not sure how he could be bad.

i thought Kolarov had one of his better games last night... and i'm not a great fan of his

 

[Joga Bonito]

He did well, love him on the flank to provide those beautiful crosses into the box, he's getting better on the ball as well. And I mean you cannot honestly say you would want someone else taking free-kicks.

This is strange because I am a big upporter of his, yet last night I could see what his critics were getting at, at least 4 good opportunities to create somethin but fucked up. That said when he put Dzeko through after a nifty piece of footwork and his free kick he did go quite some way to redeeming himself

I was very impressed with Kolarov when he came on last night. Zabaleta however was terrible
