Attacking wise he was excellent but nobody had the sense to cover him when he did. Defensively he's doing as well as you can expect someone to do of that age and in the wrong position.
He's an Arsenal lad now so he'd better get used to the wrong position thing.
Played well only one of the few who did, he has a good future ahead of him.
He can pine to go back to Barca, they'll sort him out.Quote:

I think he is better than Gibbs at LB. Since Mentos is out, I'd rather have him than anyone else.
yeah shame about Gibbs demise, i think Miquel is a good player coming thorough but can we continue to depend on him for the reason of the season with our on going full back injury crisis?Quote:

He doesn't give a fuck about Barca.
If I'm wrong about this, GW's future Grand High Mod (I vote MO's face) can ban me a few years down the line when he moves there.
it was his boyhood club :( I can see him moving back there as a replacement for Abidal. He played for a spanish 5th division side before he joined usQuote:

and rejected another offer from barca to return to them. i can't remember when but he had a dig at them a while back. i like the lad, he plays pretty well on most occasions but he rarely gets a look in.Quote:

He was one of our best players last year, and if he get's another run in the team, he'll do it again.Quote:

Vermaelen's positional play and gung ho attitude cost us far more goals.
As a mobile CB for last ditch tackles, and reading of the game to intercept passes, as well as fantastic distribution, he's one of the best in the league.
People also forget that nearly every team in the league concedes hatfuls of goals. And that is because of the way the game is played now. Just look at goals concedes and you'll see what i mean.
I've seen our defending in recent games and to be honest it's been nothing short of schoolboy defending, it's embarrassing and he's part and parcel of that.
I agree the defending in the PL hasn't been great this season, but it doesn't excuse the schoolboy errors we make all the time.
Of course not. And for me, that is down to training. Not the ability of players.Quote:

I get that frustration and exasperation leads to blaming every small thing is minute detail, but kos is not a bad player.
You will always get mistakes. Every team makes them. But our problems lay in the coaching, not the players...
If I were to rank our CD`s I would actually rank Kos highest followed by Merts and Verm last. Merts would have been top, but he dose not make the most of his physical attributes and is painfully slow. Vermaelen really should be a midfielder, as a CB he is abysmal.
This isnt a salute of Kos` qualities tho. There are far better defenders playing for Norwich and Swansea.
Wenger doesnt know defence. Period.
