Bound to put a good performance up there today. He was probably still smarting from that Balkan tête-à-tête at the end of the game last year. Great assist, all round composure, and some real steel in defence.
Better late than never I suppose. I truly think that injury against Spurs early on derailed him more than some realize.RandomJ said:Finally starting to look like he was worth the £19 million.
Yes he has developed that into an art form. I think of all the players that Pellers has worked his magic with, Kolarov would have to be right up there for most improved.tolmie's hairdoo said:Brilliant today and also buys us so many cheap free kicks.

Credit to Pellers for recognizing his talent and giving him his trust. He's our perhaps best crosser into the box from the wing. And it's scary to think about how good he can be with our strike force.jollylescott said:Yes he has developed that into an art form.
