Aint happening with this boy I'm afraid.

Feel free to bring this thread back throughout the season if I'm wrong.

Not going to go into finger pointing as I think they were all shocking at the back, but I have to admit that the balance just looks wrong. Not strong enough aerailly - oh, and they played like strangers today; you'd think they hadn't been coached.... which, of course, is probably beause they haven't!

EDIT: WTF is this thread for?!!!

I thought I was posting in the game thread like everyone else! argghhh.

Thought Vermaelen looked worst to be honest..

TV was doing the job of two players that's why.

This guy is a pub player that much is obvious.

He should not be even 3rd choice. Lets not forget though the 3 other defenders were a disgrace.

Pre-season friendlies are great for assessing whether a player is good enough?

no no, I think Konscienly had to do the work of two players.. What a silly argument to make.

Don't be biased and comment on what you saw, not what you want to see.

You're right.

Just call it a hunch.

Agree with Sels.

Move Koscielny up into midfield I say, because he looks good on the ball and at passing. He doesn't have the positioning, nor the power/physicality of a successful PL CB.

Lets see after christmas where he is you cant jusge him from one friendly. This is the first time i saw him today and all i saw was inexperience at the highest level.

He was poor today, but I won't make a full judgement on him until he's at least played a competitive game for us. Give the guy a break.

Legia Warsaw are probably worse than most Championship sides.

Playing for Arsenal rather than the oppostion. For instance the importance of keeping the defensive line.

no-one cares Rebel?

You're not bothered we're going into a new season with just Kos and Djourou as TV's partners?

Yeah, sure it'll be alright on the night tho.
