My pre-match concerns were almost all demonstrated by Fabricio Coloccini on Sunday. The Argentine was woefully slow, positionally awkward and painfully unfit. The defender did not challenge for a single header and seemed to have no relationship whatsoever with Chancel Mbemba (of who he should have been mentoring better).
