absolute bollocks every game he starts its at left back of hes only helping out the defence that means we start games with three defenders and no left back when he plays ! hes a left back who cant defend !ChicagoBlue said:He's not a left back, he's a left midfielder who helps out on defence!
And a bloody good one for the last few months!
It is no surprise that most of our attacking wing play....the kind that ends up in the box creating havoc in the opposition defence....comes from Aleks getting his foot through, or around, the ball. His free kick goals have been an added bonus this season, although I think there is far more to come from his game if he stops flopping and using his only move (left footed flick inside the defender) followed, usually by a flop!
I wouldn't get rid unless the price was close to "younger, quality replacement" price...and I don't see who that could be!

He looks good when in a run of games, so does Clichy, we need to pick one and stop rotating, one won't be happy, but if its better for the team, only change it when you have to, injury or fatigue.worsleyweb said:I think he is underrated. Hope he stays.

I think MP has finally reached the conclusion that the way forwards is one up top or at least to set up that way to start with.Sergi0 Na5r1 said:Burtonblue said:Think his improvement in the last month or so may be to do with Pellegrini playing 5 in the middle rather than 442.

Yep we look less exposed, Kolarov is free to play winger and make his crosses, and also this lineup attacking-wise seems to tick. Decent number of goals by any measure since he's made the change.
