I thought kolo was MOM last night, but in truth it just shows how poor our centre halves have been when you compare him to them. In truth he (aside from a couple of comedy dribbles) didn't do anything utterly unbelievable, he just did what a centre half is supposed to do, namely cleared the ball when it came to him. When they crossed it, kolo headed it out. When they passed it, Kolo booted it out. He didn't overly concern himself with getting us up the pitch (which may be a necessity against anyone less dominant than Madrid, everyone in other words) nor did he bother with tiki taki overly. he just did what proper centre halves do, he blocked it and he cleared it. I like him and always have, he should play against Chelsea if for no other reason than if they get a set-piece, I'd back him over any other player in our squad to get a head on it and clear it.
I'd leave him with Skrtel too. Martin did little wrong either.
