Your own post adequately explains why Chamakh is shit. In a game where we're under the cosh, teh last thing you need is Mr Anonymous up front. It's not about the goals, it's not about missing sitters, it's about getting some time on teh ball and making yourself available so the defence can attempt top relieve some of the pressure. Gervinho had to have the ball to fuck it up, didn't he? And just by having the ball it was a help for the defence. You asked before, why get at Chamakh, he did nothing wrong. In fact he did everything wrong, as usual. He provided no relief for the defence whatsoever, therefore there was no reason for him to be on the pitch. In fact it was detrimental having him on teh pitch because we replaced a player who at least saw some of the ball. As I said, Chamakh is of benefit only to our opponents.
Für eure Sicherheit
Koscielny improved but he was a bombscare especially in the first half. How many times did he lose the ball in dangerous areas? Moreover, some of his attempts at playing offside were abysmal, and nearly cost us. Too often simple long balls down the middle caused us problems because of his shit positioning. Vermaelen can't return soon enough.
Let's be clear here, Koscielny is sh*t, there isn't a match that he plays in which goes by where he doesn't make some sort of horrendous error (or more as is often the case).....and for a defender that's awful.
He's been a terrible signing so far.
Pretty much
No doubt people will mention the Barca home leg last season where he apparently kept Messi at bay, the same Messi who had countless chancess as he got away from Kos time and time again and thankfully had an off night with his finishing but that was all down to Kos obv who was miles away from him every time
