My take on it I stand in 118, Kolarov constantly backed off his man enabling the Norwich player to get into the box before any attempt at a tackle it was a penalty waiting to happen, the general frustration of the crowd and the inept performance of our defence in particular led to supporters having a go basically get stuck in, time and again it happened with Kolarov backing off and he just snapped, don't exactly know what he said but from his reaction I doubt he'd say it to his mother. From then it became open season on him as I think the frustration of last week and indeed the season came forward with the booing, I don't condone it at all by I think it summed up how many felt and Kolarov just got the brunt.
Surely the fact that he defended the incident that kicked it all off perfectly well should have come into people's consideration at that point? Focussed on the ball, didn't fall for any trickery and blocked the attempted cross from a position just outside the box?
He didn't dive in or do anything that could be classed as a penalty waiting to happen either?
No wonder he responded as he was getting slaughtered for doing his job. Worked hard up and down today and put a few quality crosses in as well. No, he's not a world beater, but he by no means should be singled out today for a bad performance as there were far worse - he wasn't even the worst defender.
The only thing he did particularly wrong was dare to respond to the idiots who decided he was their target for the afternoon.
