Re: SOUTHAMPTON HOME THREAD
A difficult decision for Wenger but I wouldn't change the backline at the moment. Koscielny might be our best central defender but he is lacking match fitness.green gooner wrote:It would be hard to justify not sticking with a backline that has kept 3 clean sheets so for.

Re: SOUTHAMPTON HOME THREAD
In terms of positioning maybe. Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of Kos but for me he's inferior to Verm in all other departments.Henry Norris 1913 wrote:kos has been our best cb for a while mateSutch wrote:villej wrote:Koscielny might be our best central defender but he is lacking match fitness.green gooner wrote:It would be hard to justify not sticking with a backline that has kept 3 clean sheets so for.

Re: SOUTHAMPTON HOME THREAD
But TV5 and Kos work and gel very well together....HOwwever - They say you shouldn't change the line-upof a team that hs not lost!
Southampton are pacey in attack so might cause Mert a few problems - But his height and strength will come in useful as they put a lot of high balls into the box
Arsenal 4 - S'ampton - 1
U.T.A

Re: SOUTHAMPTON HOME THREAD
I like merts but I want to see kos and verm get that partnership up and running, an we'll have a hungry different style defender on the bench.

Re: SOUTHAMPTON HOME THREAD
Mertersacker has done nothing wrong to be dropped, for years we talk about a lack of competition for places, we have it in certain areas now so until he fucks up he should keep his place.
When koscienly gets his chance then maybe he will be careful not to fuck up (and he has done in the past even though he was good for most of last year)
The team that played at Anfield should be the team that starts.

Re: SOUTHAMPTON HOME THREAD
Mertesacker is a class act who's exceptional reading and positioning compliments Vermaelen's hollywood defending perfectly.
If Mertesacker is dropped then Wenger has truly lost his fucking marbles

One of the main reasons why we haven't conceded yet has to do with the Big Fucking German.
