The problem is that a medial ligament injury destabilises the entire knee and makes it extremely difficult to keep the calf and hamstring muscles in shape. Hopefully we ease him back in and take plenty of time to get the muscles back in shape after the recovery period.Am I the only one who is slightly encouraged that it isnt a muscle strain and is something that any player would have probably got in the same circumstances. Just rotten luck, rather than his body failing this time IMO. If it was yet another muscle strain I think I would go along with the doom merchants.

Yes, and for good reason, 1 played there a few times 7 years ago, and his team won the CL when he did, not him, the other played there on Saturday, and did a decent job, so forgive me thinking the one from Saturday is probably a better option.
I know, but if we rush it (and we've form for that) we'll aggravate them. Being as short as we are at the back worries me we'll rush it.Thats not the point I was making, more that it wasnt his historical problems that have caused this issue.
Exactly, there was one moment early in the game Saturday where he was beaten for pace and he just strolled back with no effort. It was shocking.Kolarov has rarely played well in any game throughout his entire city career. Constantly caught out of position, terrible at defending the back post, cant tackle, doesn't stop crosses coming in and is so one footed he loses possession cause he cant turn inside to give a pass with his right foot so instead plays a more dangerous pass or gets tackled (he idd this twice at weekend at least). On top of that constantly beaten for pace in one on ones (Zaha made him look stupid putting him on his backside at least once at weekend)...the guy is defensive liability.
To get praise he would have to learn how to defend.
Is this based on his most recent 90 minutes ?
We don't need to be experimenting, Sagna did a decent job at CB on Saturday, and can play there if required.
Don't know, how is Vinny on the "playing pissed drunk with a dislocated shoulder" front?
Whiskey is a great idea actually! Get him to relax a little, be more intuitive again ... I'm all for it!I haven't a clue mate. I'm genuinely gutted for the bloke, and maybe shorter training sessions or taylor made training sessions, could help him, oh and quick dram of whiskey before kick off.
Just hope the medics, s & c's and himself can sort his problems, because at the moment his career is going down the pan, and it's very sad to see.

On this occasion he hasn't broken down tho has he ?There must be something seriously wrong for him to keep breaking down like this, surely it cant all be bad luck, I fear he wont recover from it mentally as well as physically, such a shame for him. Hope I'm wrong and he comes back fighting after Christmas at some point, cant see it though ;-(
