Player Topic: Aleks Kolarov 2015/16

What I love about Kolarov right now is his raw passion when we score. Watch the goals again and focus on the celebrations. His heart is in it. And you can tell he's one of the most respected players in the dressing room. Big character for us.

Him, Sergio and Silva always have big goal celebrations

He looks exactly the same player to me. I think it's a case of what's happening around him that had opened people's eyes to his qualities.

This is exactly it. It's like people don't remember how awesome he was in the 2013-14 campaign when we were at our best. Sterling in front of him instead of Silva has made a world of difference.

Kompany too. Who can ever forget that epic leap after the goal against the Scum in 2012. And the 2 this year were not bad either!

He's always been a dead ball specialist. And his delivery on the overlap is also fucking deadly.

Guaranteed as well, he always megs someone every game makes me piss.

Always loved Aleks. Always first to celebrate he's a proper blue.

Sterling so far has worked his knackers off. It's a very decent partnership.

Criminally underated.

100% spot on

Couldn't agree more, best delivery in the league. He, like many others, has suffered from dips of form at times, but when he's on, he is a lethal weapon.

Sterling's presence has made him more disciplined. When he gets the ball now he knows he's got at least a couple of decent options open to him. If he crosses or shoots it has to be because that's the best available option. He cant just hit it and hope any more.

He's also become more valuable at defensive corners. We have such a small forward line that if Bony isnt on the pitch there's nobody to help out the defense. He's made a few important clearing headers in the two games so far.

Good to see him finally getting the credit he deserves. Best LB in the league, especially if you take into account attacking threat.

sure we have to complain about something! I for one am not happy with Sterling's effect on my fantasy football team so far. He'd want to sort that out sharpish :P
