If the papers, the media, all arsenal fans and the footballing world in general suddenly decided that Koscielny was the best defender in the world...
...John would post an article the next day saying that he's past it and that Miquel is the best defender in the world
Koscielny wasn't at fault Alex Song was. Song moved Koscielny over his defending vs Balotelli was pathetic

Look at Mertesacker he plays better alongside Koscielny as well.
I've already had this argument, no one is more at fault
We could blame a number of players. Song for not stopping Balotelli, Kos for his positioning, Miquel for not marking Silva but it's happened now. Kos is a fantastic defender and if his name wasn't so odd i'd consider buying a shirt with his name and number on the back. As it goes I have Arteta 8

Lol Alex Song was out of position Koscielny had to cover the midfield space or Nasri would have run all the way into the box
When song gets back he then brushes Koscielny aside
Alex song for me cost us the goal because he's not a proper DM
koscielny wouldnt know what an offside trap is if his life depended on it. he is the sole reason we lost vs blackburn
John: Why not buy Cahill in January and put Kos and Vermaelen as you suggested on RB and LB as long as our crisis with unjury lasts?
Ignore Reverend, he hates Kosc so his opinion can't be judged
i dont hate kos at all, was my comment wrong at all? was it?
Peterbaey: I think Kos and Song didnt look too good for the City goal. I think that Song especially shouldnt allow Ballotelli to past him so easily.
Vermaelen's mistake vs Villa was far worse yet ppl are blaming Mertesacker lol
Vermaelen struggled at LB against city Koscielny saved him a few times
Koscielny for me has been better as a CB and better as a RB
I think overall our defence work has improved with the introduction of Vermaelen and Mertesacker on set pieces.
Blame for the City goal should be spread around.
Koscielny was out of position, and didn't get back to cover behind Song.
Song let Balotelli pass him easily.
Merte didn't cover Song.
Arteta let Silva run past him.
Miquel went to cover YaYa rather than take on Silva when Arteta let him run on.
The Djourou injury and reshuffle of the defence were the outstanding factors imo.

If we're going to start blaming players for small things then Mertesacker stepped away from the goal when Ballotelli went passed song when he could have blocked the shot. Why are we moaning about tiny things?
Also Ramsey Kosc plays a player onside twice (?) and you've decided that's all he does. When playing aside Merts he's got to count up for his lack of pace so he has to play slightly deeper.
Vermaelen has struggled at LB whereas Koscielny has done well at RB which shows me that Koscielny is a better footballer and a better defender
=================================
Let me get this straight. Kos is a better defender then TV because he's played better in a different position?
But that doesn't mean much at all. Both TV and Kosc are CBs and TV is the better CB. Just because Kosc has better debatably better doesn't make him good at his true position, which is CB.
I suppose by your arguement, RVP is the best striker in the league because he's playign out-of-position!
Why do we need to blame anyone
It's Christmas
At least there is debate over who is our best CB rather than the usual debate of which CB is the bigger clown!!
Just because Kosc has better debatably better doesn't

proof of the offside trap.
lets make it about goals, cus gals win games. verm has made 1 mistake and cost us a goal. but no points, he has also scored a few and won us games.
kos has made a few mistakes, cost us more goals and more points, and has contributed 0
