I’m glad Kolorov had a “committed” display. FFS! Thanks!

As I said, if he keeps it up (ie for more than one game – more like the majority of season) then ill change my mind. The basic problem is he cannot defend!!!

Also at a complete loss as to how his display against Plebzen was pleasing. Please enlighten me.

Better left backs than Kolorov in last 20 years? Hinchcliffe, Pointon, Phelan, Clichy, Zabeleta. I even think Bridge was better at defending, and Tarnant come to think of it!!

Kolarov, Nasri, Garcia, Dzeko out!

This week, I have to change my mind and make an apology to Nasri in particular and Kolarov to a lesser extent.

If only Nasri would put as much effort in every week – he could be a great player for us and, certainly in the first 60 minutes was my MotM.

Kolarov – well things worked out for him in this game, but I feel more because of United’s pathetic performance than his good one. He is just so slow defensively but hats off to him for that performance.

Dzeko? Supersub but that’s all.

Garcia? Get rid get rid get rid!

As for Yaya…..he did exactly as I predicted, big came cometh the man but I just wish he would do it all the time. Pellegrini needs to give him a kick up the backside.

A great performance and a great win – let’s just hope we can keep it up!

C’mon City!!!

I have no real argument with the ’7′ Vfabbers but on reflection don’t you think that the final comment was curmudgeonly and a bit demeaning?

I popped in here just to see if Crispy managed to swallow his bile long enough to write something positive about Kolarov’s very pleasing and committed display, a feature to one degree or another of all his games so far this season. Good old Crispy, true to form, ‘damned with faint praise’ and then stuck the knife in, how predictable!

That’s a shame but I’m pleased to see so many posters, (pjdemers, Blue Forever, Blue Bullet, Siamack) giving credit where it’s due without taking it back afterwards!

I come from a tradition of many decades of supporting those who wear the City shirt, through thin and thinner! I know that these days the expectations are higher and the patience shorter, and no I don’t think that Aleks is the best thing since Roberto Carlos, at worse he’s barely adequate and at best, like Sunday, he’s very good. Nevertheless, I am hard pressed to name any LB’s that have worn our shirt in the last 20 years that I’d rather have starting a game ahead of Clichy and Kolarov. He doesn’t shirk, he covers miles on that flank, he keeps the opposition FB honest and then he has a really terrific game, makes a great run, turns the defender inside out, perfect pass bent around the CH for the incomparable Kun to volley home, the pick of some fine plays in the opposition’s half.

Surely that’s worth a ‘well done Son’ without a snide caveat?

I feel bad for the guy as sometimes it seems that even if he could walk on water the boo boys would bitch about him not being able to swim…
