Koscielney 'Does Have A Mistake In Him'

'(god forbid) Djourou'

Kos and Djourou were really good together, I think for about two or three months in 2010-11. Think Djourou got injured and then Vermaelen came back, or someone else came in, and then Mertesacker was signed in the summer.

Thiago Silva, 50p.

'Mertersacker compliments him well'

Not surprised, he's a lovely guy

him and the bfg are a good pairing and you look a lot better with them 2 in the team.

I think steve bould deserves some credit for the work he has obviously done with your defence.

Even I have to admit Kos is a top defender and I didn't rate him at all for a long time, however I think you guys under rate mertesacker personally i think he is just as or nearly as good.

You rate this shocking excuse of a centre back

He's squilliaci, cygan like player. He's the last remaining type of those players we have. The sooner we get the rid the better

Truly awful player

He has 1 good game out of 5

Always makes mistakes and is always caught out of position. The reason he make rash decisions is cause he has to recover his lost position. Mertesacker has to always cover for him

"Vieira was a pure find, he came at 17 for goodness sake he'd also did nothing major in his career before hand"

Pat was nearer 20, and came in from Milan (little club in Italy), where he was considered something of a flop as I recall. Before that he was one of the youngest players to ever captain Cannes.

Kos does have mistakes in him and does make mistakes fairly regularly. The thing is Mert behind him knows what he is going to do and positions himself to include the possibility he will mop up after Kos on a regular basis. Its the partnership that works really well.

What the partnership means is that both can play to their strengths, Kos attacks the ball and Mert plays a positional game. Neither of them are perfect defenders but there is an argument that they form a perfect partnership.

its a partnership where mertesacker does most the work. he has to do two jobs.

1. cover his area
2. cover koscielnys area because koscielny is too chit to do it by himself. honestly i think we'd do better without him on the pitch

Koscielny is a top defender, and a top player in general. It can frustrate me when people laugh at the suggestion that he is one of the best in the league by pointing out some of his errors, whilst neglecting the errors that the likes of Kompany and Vidic have made.

As someone already mentioned, he is exceptional on the ground. He can deal with tricky, slippery players and he can also deal with speed-merchants. I still think that he's slightly suspect against powerful strikers, but he's definitely bulked up and improved himself in that aspect.

Due to the nature of his game, being that he is pro-active, he's snappy in the tackle, he can slightly over-commit which is exactly why Mertesacker is the perfect partner for him, and why Vermaelen is the worst type of partner for him.

Is Wilshere being serious or wumming? I can never tell with people on this website.

Not everyone rates that bafoon in defence frank. He has more interest in taking out his opponents than he does defending. red card waiting to happen. most our conceded pens are due to his incompetence

Probably wumming. I dunno why hes still allowed to post on the Arsenal board though.

posted on 15/1/14

So one person doesnt hold the opinion of the majority on here and automatically people assume its a wum

posted on 15/1/14

It's a pretty clueless opinion, in fairness.

posted on 15/1/14

You would rate him Darren when you have Evans in your defence. Hes even worse the Foulcielny

posted on 15/1/14

I've caught this spas.tic telling his ret.arded friends on the gaming board how he enjoys wumming his own fans. Hopefully he gets hit by a bus.

posted on 15/1/14

Who United have in our defence isn't relevant, is it?

posted on 15/1/14

He said Kos is one of his favourite players but he likes wumming about him

Sums up how ret.arded he is.

Very clever name OP, nice one.

Wilshere's a bit special, there's a reason I've filtered him, I barely filter anyone.

posted on 15/1/14

I've not come across him much but he seems more special than HK and Petey.
