Kolarov = another wait for a good city leftback

[Sigh]

Did he piss on your chips or something? you seriously dont like him. Im unsure as to wether he is the answer, il give him time before i judge but i do think yesterday was prob his best game for us attacking wise. His pace is slightly worrying. overall i say give the guy time.

(C) wastes possession by shooting from 40 yards on several ocassions during a match

No he doesn't.

 

[taconinja]

what has happened to the fans of this club, dont even have the patience to give a guy a regular run in the side to prove himself for fuck sake

It's business as usual. It's too bad Jo didn't play as everyone is used to him being The Single Reason We Ever Lose Games. Not a defense of Jo, by the way, as I don't think he's very good at all, but it seems we have a remarkable need to think that there's just a player or two wrong and all we have to do is magically slot in the correct player and suddenly. . . we'll never lose again!

gio's side step, you're the one failing to engage. You've dismissed the corners argument. Why?

Because I dont believe you pay 16 million for a guy who can fucking take a decent corner

So you do think we'll get some goals as a result of his corners then?

 

[KolarovsLeftPeg]

Harsh about yesterday, thought he did alright.
But agree about the 40 yard shots, tries 'em maybe 5 times a game, gets occasionally one on target, it's a waste of possession, when it's on, it's on. When it's not, he does it anyway.

We may well do yes. But that doesnt warrant the price we have paid for him surely, when his first job is to defend, and to repeat again, which people are just refusing to acknowledge, is he lacks pace, and so gets turned easily.

What has what he cost got to do with anything?

Is it your money? No? Then what he cost is irrelevent to the debate about his value as a player.

Would you play Jo ahead of Silva because he cost less?

Stop talking like we're a Sunderland or an Everton. The landscape has changed.

So you are judging him after 12 games? Talk about knee jerk.

Heard the same response about Samaras

It's not knee jerk. He is not a top left back. He lacks critical ingredients in his game to be considered. The truth is people are concerned about Kolarov. And his performances this season. They just wont engage in the debate because Mancini paid 16 million for him, and because some on here would defend a city player on a rape charge merely because he plays for city

Time will tell who is wrong and who is right, IMO we wont see the best of him until next season.

and that he is wasteful in possession in the final 3rd by having a license to shoot when he wants, which is detrimental to the team when building up attacks. Id rather us look for more tempo and penetration, without giving Kolarov a mandate to shoot whenever he wants to

I'd agree partly with this. He needs to learn when to shoot and when not to. However, of the four shots I remember, one was goal bound. He most definitely can hit the target and we shouldn't discourage him for going for the target altogether.

Fine, he shoots from distance around 5 times a game, sometimes less, sometimes more.
