Boyata was the clear Man of the Match and too harsh on Kolarov too. Too high a mark for both Yaya and Tevez. Tevez was distinctly average.

Still i would far prefer to see Nedum on the team sheet but you must remember that one of the reasons for his loan spell was not because of his lack of ability but rather his public criticism of Mancini.

And No Lescott has not been immense far from it he cost England Midweek and i hav no doubts that he will cost us if not the FA Cup then definately the top 4 he is overated to many people hav sed hes playin gd because he doesnt make as many mistakes wot about Kompany De Jong and Silva they NEVER make mistakes yet Lecott has a few games where he makes 1 mistake a game (2 against Ghana) and he is the worlds greatest dont make me laugh get rid is wot i say hes had his chance theres plenty of better defenders in the prem. when we signed him from Everton the Sheik most of made a bid for the wrong defender i think we really wanted the top class Jagielka Im not sayin anything about his performance yesterday but was he really tested just look when he plays gd opposition like Chelsea, United and Ghana he was 1 of r worst performers in them games.

Everyone played well, including Kolarov who thoroughly deserved the six that you gave him and I'm sure he is the type of player who improves. The main problems with Kolarov are that he is reluctant to lunge forward to put a quick challenge in and he also stands too square on his man and invites the kick and run. Due to milk turning faster than this man, (a major flaw agreed) he is then susceptible to the player knocking it past him and making him look pedestrian. What he needs to do is get closer to his man and jockey him so he is not begining from the equivalent of a man stuck in quicksand before he gets into his stride. He is not slow at all once he is up and running and once he has devolped that skill I hope he will a real asset to the club. The English league has always been a hard one to fathom for most people coming from the italian league, and the players who were not able to meet the standard far outweigh those that do. But while I do believe Kolarov will improve, but whether or not he does it in the time frame we need him to (ie by the end of this season if we make Champions League) remains to be seen.
