Last year I was one of Kolarov's biggest critics. I know from watching him at Lazio and Serbia (from U21 level) what he is capable of, and he wasn't doing it. I mentioned that his injury against Tottenham in the opening game affected him massively, clearly this season he has improved his fitness and is so much better for it.
Right now, he is in form. He has played well for City in the last few games he has played and also Serbia. With Kolarov it seems it's either black or white. He is good going forward and shit at defending. I would argue that he has improved his defending, but to his defence - how can he be expected to be in two places at once? He put in a serious shift last night, but I can understand that his prime duty is to defend and when he goes forward then that leaves a gap, which can be exploited. That is the nature of a counter attack after all, and for the record he made a few good interceptions last night. One in particular near the end of the game when he was booked, a tackle in the penalty box. Remember that one?
As for people questioning his crossing. Ludicrous. Alone last night he could/should have had 3-4 assists to his name. Some people are even questioning his first time crossing. Are you fucking serious? A first time cross is vital, and takes the defence by surprise. As others have mentioned in the CL this season he has been arguably the best attacking outlet - not bad for a LB. I'd also add that against Italy and Slovenia Kolarov was Serbia's best player putting in cross after cross.
As for this who is better debate with Clichy. Clichy is more rounded in that he is better defensively and has a better engine, but Kolarov is miles ahead when it comes to end product, goals and assists.
I'm just pleased he has kicked it up a notch, because he is definitely capable of being one of the best LB's around.. I think it's good for you CIty fans that you have this competition as it means neither player can afford to be complacent.

2-His crossing last night was carbage apart from twice
3-Two freekicks a season do not make him a good footballer
4-Clichy has no worries regarding his first team position
5-He hasn't kicked up atall, he looks even slower than last season
1st class knob.

all you have done is persitently insulted members who go against your opinion, but what does intrigue me is that there is no substance to your argument, just bad mouthing.

Despite all your pontificating, the most important aspect of this debate, is that the manager of Manchester City F.C does not hold the same opinion as the OP and seeing as he has a vastly greater view on the player and has the experience to know when a player has the right attributes for his team, i'm more inclined to side with the manager of my club, than someone on the internet, that views his or her opinions as more valid than experienced professionals.

Lennon had no luck and no joy until Kolarov was injured. All the pressure came from Saint Micah's side. All of it. But as he's been canonized at this point, it's necessary to revise history.
You aren't doing yourself any favors with this ridiculous argument.

Ah, reverting to insults, for which you castagated an earlier poster, classy lad.
I won't stoop to your level, you can show yourself up for what you are all on your own little man.
