Is kolarov what you expected?

[danny21manc]

Not come across a thread about him today and apologies if there's one out there.

He is yet to convince me in any game if I'm honest. I think he's very vulnerable to pace and has been turned over too much by wingers recently.

I'm not having a go and don't like writing players off early.
I understand he's been out through injury etc but I can recall Jose Mourinho after him at some point last season so there must be something about his game.


But so far I've seen only glimpses and no pace and a defender who can't jump in the air.

Anyone else think the same or am I being too critical?

not had a regular run yet due to injury...he,ll be fine....the guy,s top class...

 

[allblackcitizen]

Agree. Not convinced about him at all. And it's affecting the centre backs, getting pulled out of position to cover for him when he gets the runaround.

Hopefully he'll improve.

At the mo, Zab is by far our best full back, and I didn't think I'd be ever be saying that.

Strikes me more as a left mid than a left back at the moment.

I like the way he gets forward, but he doesnt cope with pace well at the back.

It's his turn now is it?

Read it properly or don't bother contributing.

Personally I think Zabaleta is a more solid option for villa on Saturday and I'd have never have said that in the past.

NO

I wasn't expecting anything at all to be honest as I wasn't aware of him until we were linked with him.

I recall him being soundly wanked over on here which did buoy my expectations a little along with the obligatory youtube clips.

It's early days yet, I think he'll get better. He's not set the world alight but thankfully, for his sake, he's replaced Wayne Bridge which means even when he's poor he's still a fuck of a lot better than that sack of shit.

 

[tonea2003]

needs to find a way of coping with speedy wingers who are running him at the moment.
he is great going forward and i'm sure his goal won't be the last we see from him.
an improvement on what we had and i'm sure will get better.

Can't recall him being at fault for any other goal than possible the first Everton goal and VK was equally to blame. In fact VK has made more mistakes than him. Might start a thread asking if VK should be dropped?
