I agree with that, I think part of the problem is that Coloccini isn't the type of player who likes playing constantly under pressure. I still think he would excel if we played a more positive style of football but it's never going to happen under Pardew.
“Those things, I have to learn about the new players, they have to learn about me and how I work, so all of that takes time.
How is that going to help, Alan?
Honestly, what is it that you are expecting from a CB in that situation against Aguero? Stevie Taylor superslide? He forced him to his weaker foot and a tight angle. Krul has no business directing that weak shot back to Aguero's foot.
I thought that Aguero took his goal brilliantly, he had no right to score but did and sometimes you just have to accept that it was a good goal.
I thought that Riviere looked handy and put himself about, I didn't think anybody had a bad game but I also don't think Man City did a lot when they had the ball either.
