I think what Nick meant to say is that Koscielny is a good defender but not the best defender ever to grace the game like some Arsenal fans make out..

posted on 13/8/14

So because I dont rate koscielny and believe cahill is a good defender, which he is, was fantastic last year(I went to most games...Or watched on MOTD...but I watched the evening show and morningshow...honest)

I am now...greek...Re.tarded. an MOTD fan...Only started supporting chelsea since 2003...whywas that? I cant remember why i would do that seeing as im an motd fan? Must be due to the anti football I love watching highlights of

true, Kos is 2nd to Chambers

Mr Chelsea, that's not what he's saying though is it? He reckons Koscielny's rubbish.

Do you think Cahill is better than Koscielny , Niko? If so, why? What do you like about his game and what do you dislike about Koscielny's?

the school holidays based jokes are being used so much at the moment, it's very poor

Stuff the school holidays, I want it to be mid September already so I can go back to uni. The Leicester v Arsenal game is before I go back though . It could've been any other month and I'd have gone.

I got jetlag when I came home. Everybody's in bed by half ten which is when I normally had just had my lunch.

This year's my third year though, so I've actually got to work this time around

Kam why have you asked a load of questions yet not answered mine? are you hoping people will scoot over the nonsense you have said and if another posts are done itll be left behind??
I can only judge football from what I see, through 20 years of going to games spending thousands of pounds doing so.
Koscielny when I have seen him is out of position, is quite quick which sometimes covers it, but is not strong enough, Usually goes missing in big games(no word of a lie that game at the emirates was a joke for a pro CB seeing as chelsea had no decent strikers last year)

Cahill(for the last 2-3 years anyway,cant judge him at bolton) has been a revelation for us, the last few years our defence has been the shakiest its ever been, other than maybe under scolari. He is quick, strong, good on the ball, reads the game well, is brave and(as someone mentioned) can do that back to the wall defending too. He was fantastic in the CL final a few years back and was good the season before last. But last year he really was faultless for a lot of the time.

(its been the shakiest its ever been but cahill has tightened that up) was what I meant to say

lol you truly are clueless Niko. So whenever you seen him (which I'm guessing is a few MOTD highlights) he's out of position? That's not vague at all...

He's actually a big game player, he's had great games against Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Barca, Bayern etc. But you haven't watched him more than a couple of times, so you wouldn't know.

You have a very basic understanding of football Niko. You're simpleton.

See. This is a description of somebody you watch regularly. Now when I look at the amount of detail you've for each player's description, it tells me something.

I haven't been directly responding to your post/questions because honestly, I don't understand half of the things you're saying.

that says more for your stupidity then mine kam...I hope I don't run into many articles where you post nonsense and bring the IQ levels down so much.
I can go further into why I do not rate Koscielny, but the big games from previous years speak for themselves and his perfromances. Last year was better due to mertesacker coming in. Kos has been at arsenal for what 3 or 4 years now? and arsenal have been pretty poor defensively. Last year Like i said was better, not due to kos but due to mertesacker.
I don't know why your fans love him so much but good luck to ya, the longer hes at arsenal the better chance other teams have.
Sanchez will be my poty bet, so its not a bias or anything. Just the truth.

lol barring his first season, in which he was also pretty decent, he has been outstanding for us. We don't defend well as a team, or hadn't been until last season, our defence doesn't get enough protection and we get caught in transition. Nothing to do with Koscielny.

Anyway, like I said, you don't know what you're talking about and regardless of what I say, you won't see the light.

Enjoy the rest of your day

Terry was a top top defender in his heyday. He's nowhere as good as he used to be. Even though he's still pretty useful now.

Regardless, the fact that you think Cahill is better than Koscielny speaks volumes for knowledge. The Englishman's a solid player. But Koscielny is the more capable defender. You'd know that if you knew what you were on about.

Terry is still probably the 3rd best CB in the league

"Kos has been at arsenal for what 3 or 4 years now? and arsenal have been pretty poor defensively. Last year Like i said was better, not due to kos but due to mertesacker."

Yeah. All the goals we shipped were all down to Koscielny. And all the goals we kept out was down to Mertesacker.

And what big games was Koscielny poor in that Mertesacker wasn't? You're gambling and guessing here. You do not know what you're on about.

That's what I mean, he's one of those guys that just goes along with whatever the word on the street is, instead of actually watching players. The kind of guy who gets drawn into hype and thinks any midtable striker who has a decent 20 goal season should be signed. Has a very basic understanding of the game.

This Greek guy would absolutely KO you though Kamran, you grenade.

behave yourself you bell, he'd catch up on some sleep if he tried it with me

Word on the street in north london is koscielny is the best cb In the world? So how am I going with the word on the street delusion.

posted on 13/8/14
