Our glaring weakness at LB, will it be fixed?

I agree completely in regards to Fernando and kolarov, both players games are slow and lacking in many aspects. Especially kolarov who couldn't defend a 12 year old

Stop being silly.

You're right, a twelve year-old would be much too quick for him. The better age would be 8 year-old—they've haven't quite developed the athleticism needed to beat Kolarov at that age.

Twenty ish goals and countless assists but a complete fraud !

He was put at left-back primarily to defend. If he can't do that but score goals and assist in them then he should move forward. Every game he gets dicked on at the back.


Stephen Hawking has more mobility than Kolarov.

I cannot comprehend how a left back is not a priority or are we linked with anyone? that im not aware of?

jog on lad. Kolorov played really well when he had run of games. Same for Mangala as well.

Couldn't have summed up Kolarov better myself.

Hahaha I was being generous

Jokes aside, it's not that Kolarov is a bad player, he has just ultimately shown he does not fit the high press, possession style we ideally want to play.

He'd be pretty effective as a LWB in a 5-3-2 counter attacking system.

I agree, he just doesn't fit our system where he actually needs to play defense, if he only was an attacking player it would be a different story...especially when we play in the champs league he just doesn't belong in our system and Angelino just isn't ready yet

Has to be a priority for me, has to be.

No idea why we aren't pushing for that Rahman lad, fits the bill perfectly. Young, promising, won't cost a fortune.

Tolmie called our interest in him with De Bruyne and Sterling, but it seems Chelsea have muscled in on the deal.
