I have to agree with samiak – Kolarov would have been better focussing on his defensive role rather than fighting with Balotelli to take yet another wasted free kick – after all we were down not only due to a lack lustre performance but because of very poor defending.
Pizzaro rather than silva should have been on from the beginning we needed his drive -

>>Aleks Kolarov would have been a bright shining star in >>that side and despite his defensive frailties

Firstly, To make sure that we both are on the same page, he is a defender first and foremost and should be able to defend and live up to its price tag as a defender.

>>he produces more going forward than anyone else has for the last 3 games he’s played in.

He can even camp out in the opponents box to have 100% record of pushing forward, it all means no squat if you waste golden opportunities one after the one more often than not. What matter is the end result and much like the game itself.

Pizarro excellent again. May not have the legs for 90 minutes but he’s worth the first hour or more of the next few games. Barry would have given us more control than DJ or Milner, can’t see a reason for benching him really. Nevertheless a truly depressing capitulation by 11 guys who should have beaten the Mackems out of sight. It was also the kind of performance from Mario that left me depressed about his future prospects with City despite his 2 goals. He is a huge talent but there’s too much of the dark side in there with the naughty boy humour, and I can’t help fearing that he will implode.

You worry me Siamack indeed you do.
Your comments are starting to epitomise what we can read on Rag sights whenever they lose a single game, or heaven forbid, two games even….from the kind of fans who have made them hated for decades. That ‘got to win everything, always someone to blame,’ an attitude that can’t take a set back without putting on the sackcloth and ashes and pouring fire and brimstone on the current player hate target.

Take a deep breath, think back to the play off final against Gillingham and give yourself a reality check pal.
We’ve just dropped the first home points follownig a run of 20 wins on the trot for goodness sake. I can remember a season with Bernard Carradi, Darius Vassel and Stuart Pearce when we never won a home game! Aleks Kolarov would have been a bright shining star in that side and despite his defensive frailties, he produces more going forward than anyone else has for the last 3 games he’s played in.

No shit, hence the irritation
