At the very least Coq demonstrated he's a capable deputy and should start over Arteta and Flamini any day.

WUMger has fluked it with Coq's performances.

We only need to have someone show discipline, being some fabled world class defensive midfielder would be better of course but there aren't many of those.

Wenger on now.

Fucking commentator - asking Wenger if we need a DM after that performance.

Neville :haha:

Pace. :haha:

Power. :haha:

Since he arrived in the Premier League at the start of the 2012-13 season, Olivier Giroud has scored 11 headed goals, two more than anyone else.

Giroud for England!

Yeah Coq is starting to make a real claim for a regular spot in the starting XI, today he was immense, he was very good last week against Stoke too. It's still early days but his emergence is very similar to Flams in his first spell here.

We still need a new DM but Coq should be kept on as squad material, especially if he keeps on performing like this.

Edited to add: These are Coq's stats today...

Francis Coquelin vs MCFC: 100% tackle success, 88% aerial duels, 6 interceptions, 11 clearances, 87% passing

Wenger in his post match intv on Sky seemed to suggest that we'll be sticking with Coquelin for the time being

Kompany fantastic defender. :lol:

No Neville, he will make the same mistakes.
