The simple facts are as follows:
Kolorov has very little pace and as such is a dream for pacy wingers
He stands off his player so far that he is never in a position to get a block in
He cant tackle and when he does he fouls - hence penalty today
He never overlaps with his wide midfielder to support attacks
Yes he has a shot but only from a dead ball never on the run
If this is what you want from a full back fair enough but I know we can do a lot better than that.
I never shout him down during a game but come on lets be honest he just isnt good enough - Clichy should have been in but Lescott or Zab would have done a better job at left back today
Utter b*ll*cks.
He may not have pace, but the man puts his body on the line and has cleared a fair few off it, when he's played. He CAN shoot on the run, but the style we have doesn't allow him to do so. Do you see Richards or Clichy having a pop? No. He ALWAYS overlaps, depending on the players we have in midfield dictating the play.
B*tching and moaning cos we lost.
I'll tell you for nothing, this team was designed to be hopeful for a draw. When I saw the team sheet, I knew we'd lose. Not in the way I imagined, but we did.
We're clearly aiming for the shorter route to a Cup and ESPECIALLY whilst we have numbers out.
Next year will be different.
