Our glaring weakness at LB, will it be fixed?

You've been awfully quiet on this subject recently.
I've been quiet away from from the boards in general. Buying a house, one of best mates terminally I'll with cancer, buried my Nan, started new job and also trying to get some pennies together for my ever depreciating bank balance.
 
Cheers bud, waiting on Pep scan I think it's called to determine if it's travelled to his jawbone :(

Back to thread, Kolarov was disgustingly bad v Borussia Monchengladbach. Such a shame his early form couldn't carry on

he also wasnt very good against newcastle....time for clichy, but either way we need a younger left back
 
Sagna and Zabaleta should be our starting fullbacks; both can play either side and are primarily defenders. With the trio of Silva, De Bruyne and Aguero doing the damage up top with either Sterling or Navas wide right to stretch the opposition, the rest of the team should be built to provide a solid platform for them.

If we are going to buy, Bertrand is looking like one of the steadiest options in the league at the minute, and Southampton have Matt Targett emerging so would probably be willing to do business. Cresswell isn't good enough defensively, and there aren't many others about who could come in and improve on what we have.
 
I like Bertrand,not to the degree I see him being the ideal choice.......but as an improvement on Kolarov,he would fit the bill.
 
i don't think there is a doubt both will stay until the end of the season but this is a problem on left and right. age and ability have been ignored and are city going to run with a back three next season. it is possible with deyner angel and matty all coming into the squad that we let go all our fullbacks and buy a quality wing back on each side?
as for who schupp should be under consideration against africancurrently playing winger cost his manager said he is not for sale/ for age 22 very fast as good or better than clichy or kolorov at the back and going forward has played prem and is getting better game by game is his teams top three players
