"Did he track back though?" - City fans still with an axe to grind.
He left us exposed once on a run I can recall, but he stayed back and was physically involved in the constant balls attempted to Ibra (guessing how he lost his teeth) in the 2nd half as was clearly the instructions given by Pep.
Utd were't really able to attack on the wings anyway as Valencia was being destroyed by Nolito and Silva, and Shaw by Sterling and KDB. Their defence was winded even in the first half.
They looked like deers in headlights and we had the ball so much that Kolarov was not under too much of a threat other than when we gave the ball away a few times, and actually once I think Fernandinho surprisingly missed a tackle and left our defenders exposed, and once Stones came up and missed a tackle as well, as I recall.
