I must admit I expected Koscielny to be a part of out transfer policy fiasco. Thank God I was totally wrong. He's developing so rapidly, I simply love watching him play.
I am really glad Koscielny scored that own goal against Birmingham last year...it really shook him up and made him play like he is today..otherwise he would still be that fragile indecisive player he was last year...I think Mertesacker needs the same treatment thumbs up if you agree
...and still he's fantastic centre back but doing just defensive stuff i think Koscielny is simply better. And he's got muich better going forward recently. But the difference isn't huge. I think we're lucky to have such conversation because both of them are brilliant defenders. And when full backs come back we will be very strong defensively
So tell me how many times this season Vermaelen played centre back. I'm going to tell you. Very few. Our defence is not all over the place because Verm isn't playing. It's a mess because half of our team has already played at full backs because we are lacking them. And even is such conditions Kos had several games this season when HE was all over the place. Everywhere. Cleaning everything and covering everybody. Vermaelen is exceptional for uor character and (yes, yes) scoring...
I won't agree. I rate Koscielny higher than Vermaelen. Verminator has some features that Kos hasn't which are vital for Arsenal but in a matter of just defending Kos is out of reach this season. Hic consistency at the highest level is amazing. Of course because of scoring so many goals RvP is considered as our best player this season. But for defender to shone is much more difficult. That's why for me Koscielny is Arsenal player of the season so far alongside Robin.
@batt18les Koscielny is a very clean player, he does everything very efficiently without mistakes (usually). But better than vermaelen? no way, its not a coincidence the defence always looks much better with vermaelen at the heart of it. As good as kos has been individually the defence has still been all over the place, that wouldnt happen if it was vermaelen, hes the one that organises and leads his teammates. Kos just does his own job and leaves it at that
I just hope Gibbs can stay fit because having Vermaelen and Koscielny together in the centre of defence will be crucial. And Mertesacker as backup is just excellent! Mertesacker had an excellent game against United so I think all he needs is more time and he'll become consistent. Koscielny is already a boss!
i've always had faith in arsenal players and AW himself. i think a little too much in arshavin's case, but koscielny's a star. he's a hard worker and he's got brilliant talent. i think we should all cut some slack for gibbs too. i think next season he'll be immense. it's his first season thrust into first team action. he's got pace, and just needs to hone his abilities a bit more.
He reminds me a bit of nesta italian style defending, but also great pace and reading of the game. Kos and Verm are gonna be our cb for the next 10 years
@ade25bayor It's an interesting question. I think those three would make an excellent back three, but I don't believe we have the personnel to fill the two wing-back/wide midfielder positions in a 3-4-3. It's a very demanding position which requires the pace, stamina and defensive ability of a full-back, but also the attacking play of a winger/attacking midfielder. Even if all our full-backs were available, only Santos fits the bill. Perhaps Ramsey as a RWB?
@lnrdo49 Just need to play 2 wide players who can track back constantly. Only gervinho and Walcott can do that at the moment. Play Wilshere and Ramsey as centre-midfielders. Play RVP, OX and Henry up front.
@ade25bayor Gervinho and Walcott have neither the defensive intelligence or the technical ability required to fulfil that role in a 3-4-3, which is a completely different proposition from playing as a winger in a 4-4-2.
@ade25bayor The problem with a 3-4-3 formation is that against Swansea and Utd we were for the most part undone on the wings, with Dyer and Sinclair tearing up Miquel and Djourou, and then Nani and Valencia tearing up Djourou and to a lesser extent the Verminator. Removing the fullbacks isn't the solution to the problem, since that'd leave us completely exposed in that position and stretch the 3 centre backs far too much, unless you have wingers who can cover defensively, and we very much don't.
@ade25bayor It needs proper wingbacks with more defensive awareness than our midfielders. Could work with Santos and Sagna back though. Especially Santos, he'd be loving it - less defensive responsibility!
@ade25bayor i think it's b/c our wingers like theo and arhsavin and ox don't like to come back and defend all that much...that would make us vulnerable at the counter...
@adamobarca thats one of the problems that we're facing, unlike other teams where wingers track back, our wider players are hardly effective doing that. I'm sure all Gooners would agree to the fact that Vermaelen is our best defender as a CB. So, why not play all our best CB's together with Song as the holding midfielder. That way, we can also attack efficiently and also be effective on the counter since having 3 CBs makes it easier to employ the offside trap.
@parkanatoly yes, theo has the pace and stamina to run up & down the flanks, he and gervinho are the only wingers we have who track back often, but wenger hardly keeps them for full 90 mins.
one day king bosscielny will make a great defensive midfielder
