Met him at my work place the other week,And the guys a fuckin unit for a full back,I'm 6 ft and he towered over me.

To be fair he was wearing his missus stilettos.

Just seen him up Deansgate bladdered out his head, doubt he will be ready for Saturday.

Merry Christmas.

I think the consistent criticism of Kolarov is fricken ridiculous on a couple of levels. First, it's quite clear most of our players are too nice and we need someone with a bit of cnut about them, and second on a pure ability level, he's way ahead of just about any other leftback around, including Clichy.

It wasn't so long ago I used to read the 'experts' on here extolling the virtues of Taiwo & Moreno and others if similar ilk. Not a one of them is even close to being as good as Aleks.

He's also obviously a respected squad member off the field too, so replacing him would be a big risk from that viewpoint.

And it should also be said that Aleks and Joe Hart are nearly always the last ones off the pitch after applauding the fans every game win lose or draw for those of us who could be bothered to stay behind and applaud the players !

Anyone know where his fabled crossing ability has gone?

 

[super_city_si]

had his boots on the wrong feet tonight. Defended mahrez well though and took a nice yellow to stop a break.

Hit the nail on the head.

His crossing has always been a myth just cos by the laws of probability he is bound to put a decent one in at some point. And I am sick and tired of him getting the ball from about 40 yards out and thinking he can smash it in. I think a new LB will be top of Pep's shopping list.
