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.
This and this is what pissed me off about Wenger picks dumb captains. When he gave the Armband to Cesc i knew it come back to bite him on the butt. This TV5 is a liability to think How Kos and Merts were last season, now both are better and should be starters. Take the armband of him and give it to Mikel, he is the captain they all listen to anyway.

All three of our CBs have a couple of mistakes a game in them. Merts has had a free ride with many of the fans so far this season but he's made some howlers too that have cost goals. Our guys seem to play on their wits rather than to a plan based on the opponent. Watching Kos tear around the place flinging himself at every ball might be fun and might give the impression he's a fighter (and I think he is) but surely there's a more disciplined way to defend than that? I don't think these guys are bad players, but I don't think they are the smartest either. They need organisation. After half a decade of steady decline in the defence it's time for Wenger to at least step out of that side of the game and leave it to somebody who has a clue. It must be Wenger because I can't believe Bould could suddenly be hopeless.
Für eure Sicherheit
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.
Since RVP left, he has looked like a boy who's best friend has moved to the other side of the world, and he wants to join him. IMO he clearly don't want to be here, or is motivated to be here.
Or maybe he is scared he will be sold next so he is playing shite to stop this happening.

We're his level, Verms would get nowhere the first XI of any of the top 3 and would struggle to get in Spurs & Liverpool's team IMHO.
