Coquelin didn't start against Brighton, he came on in the 80th minute when we already conceded two goals.
It feels like Coq should be much older, simply because he has spent so long in and around the Arsenal team. He's now at the stage when he should start being introduced into the side but instead he has a decent amount of experience to call on already
Red card in the not too distant future,needs to work on his self control.
He looks okay, presses the ball well.

Well even still, that shows when he plays then, Arsenal haven't conceded a goal. Sorry if my stats were slightly wrong however.
If you're watching the game today you'll concede he has been solid and has put himself about very effectively.
I liked him since I watched him play I think against Bolton in the league cup about 3 seasons ago. I thought he had a future with us after his performance against spurs in the league.
And now I think he's one of our most important players.

He looks to have been having another good solid game, but even still like above, in another 2 years, will he be as good as Matic, Bender and De Rossi (and them sorts of players) in their prime? They are defensive midfielders capable of winning you a league, is Coquelin?
Did you hear Wenger before the game? Alan Smith asked him why it has taken Coquelin so long to break into the team and the boss said Francis considered himself as a box to box player rather than a holding midfielder and had to be convinced he was the latter.
Game glorious game
I don't think he is as good as either of the two players you mentioned but he could well be in a few seasons.
As it stands, I'm just enjoying watching him play a simple game and defending like a beast. He didn't put a foot wrong today. Be interested to see his stats!
I've said a few times that he bosses the other players around as well to keep better defensive shape. And then the number of interceptions he made against Man C was ridiculous.

This is actually where this article came fro, that interview.
I want Coquelin signed up ASAP, I think he had yet another fine game today and I see him as our long term DM if he keeps improving and stays consistent.
