there was a stat which said something along the lines of when we play BFG and verm together we let in half the amount of goals compared to when we pair verm and kos together.
looks like we know who 3rd choice is

Podolski is our Kuyt. Only 10x more talented.
I would keep things as they are at the back for now, it's settled (for a change) and there's no need to potentially disrupt that. Kos is a great player to have in reserve but I think I prefer our CB partnership to be Merts + 1, and that 1 has to be Vermaelen because he's got the armband.
I reckon Kos-Mert would be the best partnership but Verm adds a few goals at the other end which outweighs the number he might concede. He's captain anyway so he can't be removed. It's a brainfuck until one of the three get injured. And then it's just fuck when another one gets injured and Djourou is in. Because we do not have Song who can also stone there.
good dilemma to have.
3 decent centre backs fighting for 2 places.
djourou washing their boots.
everyone wins
It's a nice problem to have, at least.
always said the merts should be first choice to anchor the defence. only seen one game but by the sounds of things his presence seems to be making the difference.
with a defence that sits a little deeper, it draws back everyone in front of them and creates a better shape.
everyone is obsessed with pace and being fast. it really is not the decisive factor. it helps of course but you can still be a great defender without it.

You were never really threatened, bar maybe the Suarez thing and the tackle on Sterling was just perfectly timed.
You can never have enough Germans!

Kos will be useful next season when our captain leaves for Madrid or City..
