I disagree, i think this season was the last ten games...the rest of the season was more or less a complete joke. Personally i'd have given Koscielny player of the season for his performance against Bayern Munich on it's own....because no-one has been that ever present in the heart of our defence since adams and bould were the centre-back pairing. Plus i didn't know it was a defender's job to score goals...Mertesacker scored three goals would you then suggest he was more pivotal to us finishing 4th than Koscielny?.
When we are in mid-march looking like winning enough points to finish above liverpool and everton seems beyond us, and frankly in the last four-five games of the season when more or less every single other player is just making up the numbers and he is the only player to play well and stop us from conceding goals than that influence far outstrips anything any other player has done throughout the course of the season even if it's only for the final 10 games of the season.
