There's a bit of scapegoating going on. Their big man kept winning headers against Mertesacker, and that speedy fuck (wells?) kept beating Vermaelen to the flick on and kept skinning him.Originally Posted by Gervinho's Forehead
Overall both CBs struggled.
Oh I agree both CB's were very bad.
Vermaelen apparently was bought on the basis of 1 good game that he had against us where he was said to have shackled TH14. I guess this must have been on one of those Henry moody days because Henry on his day would have left this clown on his are a dozen times. Why does Wengit always buy the worst out of any pair of players. He went to Ajax and chose Vermaelen instead of Vertonghen, He went to Southhampton and took Walnutt instead of Bale, Her went to Mexico and brought Vela instead of Chicharito.
He buys some talent yes, but nowadays he seems to only make them worse.
It was RVC he shackled not Sir Henry.
That only makes it worse. RVC pre 2011 could be easily shackled by Titus bramble.

Personally I thought Kos was just getting back to his best before his injury. As for the Skipper, I think in his attempt to play himself back in to some sort of 'Form' he's trying too hard and it makes him look impulsive and a bit Shit. In his first year here, he was by far the best player in the air (despite his lack of height blah blah) and although his marking could be a bit lapsed at times he was rock solid in the tackle which made up for that, he has pace in spades and an eye for goal....
My point is you don't just lose those skills, so it has to be a confidence issue surely?
let's not kid ourselves, vermaelen has had but a handful of decent games since he came back from his year long injury......he has the concentration span of a kid with ADHD who has been allowed to drink a bottle of ribena.
