No cos Kos was awful last season for the majority and was even worse at the start of this. Fair play to him for having a decent run of games but he needs to keep doing so. Unfortunately with Vermy nearing fitness and a shoe in to come back in, i fear Kos will go back to how he was.
Juries out on Gervinho atm
Jenkinson needs to be sold

Come on. . . .juries out on The Gerve?
Although he may still not be the finished article, he peovides is with the most direct running we have had for a good few years.
Theo and Arshavin may try but fail more often than not, admittedly playing out of position doesnt help because for every Saturday like Theo moment, there are a bag full of fails and Arshavin gets caught up in his own feet - both not wingers
But Gervs is not only not scared of running at defenders, he actiallys beats them and even turns that into an assist. We havent had that happening for yonks!
Still run for improvement, decision making the like, but if the jury is still out, I will bet a lot of dosh that when
they come back they will be singing this guys praises. . .looking like a good biy by Wenger or the board or whoever we blame for such decisions
Anyone questioning Gervinho's usefulness at the moment is mental.
Even forgetting his dribbling and assists, his movement allows RVP to do what he is doing.
He made some errors in few matches last season particularly at the beginning, has been slated since. For me, the best defender we have and one of the best in PL. The one problem he has is he does not shout/talk and organize the back line. The type of game we play requires the defense to be dynamic, moving up and down- the offside traps are crucial. Kos is brilliant at reading and positioning as he is with other attributes, how ever since Cole left we have not too many left backs who are that great, many a time its has been the left side which has played the players on as has Squid and DJ. In Per he has finally found some one who is not a liability in terms of movement and positioning but as seen against Chelsea in the first half Santos and DJ held him out to dry more than a few times. Per is a decent defender who made two poor judgments against Chelsea but then i have seen Vidic making them too. In Kos, Vermaelen and Per we have 3 top CH's, in Sagna and Jenko we have very capable right backs its is left back which looks the problem, that said i don't think Santos has completely gelled and he looks like a real good one.
Best defender in the premiership on current form, also...how fuckin fast is he??? Stick him at right back now the Verminator is back(ish)
Jenko is back as well, rather play him at right back and stick to Kos and Verm at CB. The CBs will need rotation particularly as Verm is coming back after a surgery
Jenko is back and I think maybe able to cope with the next few games. . .however would like to see KosMertVerm show together even if it was Santos who stepped aside.
Santos's second half display really saved hos bacon. . .the guy needs to realise that the PL os not the bloody Mickey Mouse league he came from, the players are fit and mistakes get punished, there is a case he was fouled just before Mata's goal bit he needs to stand up and be strong. . .looks good going forward though and loves the showboating, obviously enjoys playing.
