Player Topic: Aleks Kolarov 2015/16

Yes but he's there giving us width and an option, more than what most fullbacks give

I'm sorry that I disagree pal,

Opposition know what they're going to get from him and how to defend against him. I guess I'm most peeved tonight because my seat is right next to the left back.

I saw our defender play the same easily nullified game he always plays the first half. Second half I saw a left back who took the ball from left back forward to a crossing position and defend relatively well.

I think you'd have to concede Moreno plays a more superior game, if Liverpool can get themselves a player like that, then we should be able to. Moreno isn't even a world beater either.

I've had my vent and people will disagree I get that. He wasn't the main problem today but the fact he wasn't the worst on the pitch is only due to the fact he wasn't any worse than usual.

Defensive liability. Happy to gallop forward but his defensive game is shocking.

In a proper system when he "gallops foward" someone should be covering Fernando\yaya. Blame lies with tactics/pellers

 

[forever-and-counting]

Useless. Time to sign another LB. Wait till he gets another assist now you'll all be saying I'm wrong, but as an actual defender, terrible.

It's baffling that the management team don't see it. Clichy isn't much better but he must get a run now.

We start with one defender who cocks up for the first goal, on a slippery slope after that.

 

[We're not really here]

Time to bring back Clichy. His crossing was horrific. Mind you how we haven't bought a left back yet is utterly beyond me.

He's consistent,I'll give him that.

 

[Phil1]

He saw more of the ball in wide positions tonight than I've seen for ages - yet his delivery was constantly poor. He, along with the rest of his back four had poor games. He was actually the best of a bad bunch.

 

[Dax777]

Again, Kolarov like any other City player can have good spells, but technically, he is not a very good player in tight spaces.

Mangala had an absolute mare but I still don't know what Kolarov was doing running across his CB for that Liverpool goal. Maybe things are just so bad that players don't trust other players to do their job so they try to do multiple but it's certainly symptomatic of our decision making in back.
