Kos earnt us a point at Dortmund away months ago with that sliding tackle, he's been immense all season despite being provided with shit coaching and inadequate protection from the midfield apart from Arteta.
He's improved immensely and has been one of our best performers this season, but he needs to do it over another 2 to 3 seasons consistently before being elevated to ''one of the best in the league'' Wenger, handing out outlandish praise too early to disguise his own current shortcomings imo.

Agree.
He's been very good this season, excellent on some occasions, but one of the best in the league? No.

Agree.

agreed he is not one of the best in the league, but prob the most improved in the league and i am actually confident if we ever get kos verm and sagna playing together at the same time then we may have a decent defence
Considering who hes playing alongside in the back four at times ie Durex, Squeaky, Miguel I'd have to agree.
If he played in a stable back four with Sagna ,TV and a decent LB and some decent DM cover ie Jack with a disciplined Song. I think we'd all be a bit happier.

Hopefully he'll continue as he is, and with Sagna back soon we can get some consistency going at the back!
I believe rather than that, it was 'the majority of this forum' realising that a player with mainly Ligue2 experience shouldn't have been thrown right in at the deep end of an already vulnerable and inexperienced defence and that what we needed at the time was a dominant centre-half ready to fit straight in!!
Because his performances have undoubtedly improved this season, he is getting justifiable praise from gooners on here. That's showing consistency and fairness in my book, rather than any form of double standard.
