Hi gooners cant believe so many people want Koscielny at right back.
For a start he hasnt played there in 7 years. Wenger decided to play at RB vs Stoke
And to be honest Djourou surprisingly has done very well against Marseille and Stoke. For a start his composure is back! He doesnt look shaky and nervous on the ball (Which has been is biggest problem in the last 3/4months
Theres no doubt Johan Djourou is a top top quality defender who had a massive dip in form. But it looks hes finally back to his normal self.
We should just leave it as it is. Djourou, Mertesacker Koscielny santos
I dont see what the problem is! We shouldnt rush Vermaelen back in. Its not like our 2 centre backs have been poor they have been brilliant and in form.
I wouldnt risk vermaelen leave him on the bench
Johan Djourou should play as a RB

The thing is Laurent koscielny might have stinker playing at RB.
He hasnt played there for years so it will be an even bigger risk playing him against Chelsea.
Djourou has been fine just leave him there. Jenkinson is still injured so djourou at RB is fine for me.
Koscielny and mertesacker at the back with santos at LB.
Sorted

Isnt it nice that with the return of Vermaelen we now have so many options defensively?

He did?
I watched the full highlights on MOTD and I didn't notice that. Kudos for Mr Wenger, he blends right in.

Our best CB pairing is Koscielny and Vermaelen.
Theres no doubt about that but we dont need to risk Vermaelen for one game!
We can still make up the points we cant afford to lose Vermaelen to injury!

What a fat comment JJG.
It is a nice problem to have thought isn't it?
I'd say put Djourou at right back and leave TV on the bench for Chelsea. Not ready for a match of this intensity.
Would have liked to see Mert v Drog though.

Is this a good or a bad thing? I'm so old.

This is not a big game. Chelsea are now also rans. We can do whatever we want and still take all three points at the bridge. Easy!

Its just ridiculous to drop Djourou and play Koscielny (When he hasnt played at RB for 7 years!)
People are assuming Koscileny will perform at RB lol
Which is just ridiculous! Oh can people say he will play there when he hasnt played there for 7 years?

Koscielny has been brilliant at centre back, no need to move him into an unfamiliar position!
