Laurent Koscielny

[WilshereGone]

Amazing performance, didn't think he still had it in him. That was the Kos of old.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Amazing how many of these were either at crucial moments or in big games against top teams.

 

[asukru]

I hope his performance against Chelsea was a sign of things to come for him. Him and Papa together could be an amazing partnership. They are older but they could be like fine wine - just get better with age lol.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Kos coming back to close to his peak level would be a huge, huge plus for us the second half of the season.

He was always better with a talker, an organiser. Hopefully he and Sokratis can strike up a good partnership.

 

[Mark Tobias]

What a boss! Absolutely loved this performance and really hoping we see it on a consistent basis. Agree with TGG. Hoping for the same!

 

[Trilly]

That was the Kos of old, really impressive positional play and a breath of fresh air compared to Mustafa.

Maybe with age and some time away from the game he'll cut out the only thing that held him back - his erratic behaviour in big games. He was the most composed guy on the pitch yesterday, really impressed.

 

[Lidl_Reed]

Could have been if we’d signed Sokratis when we were first linked...

A defender playing his learning years at Arsenal..... yeah, he'd have been Squillaci

Let's not get too carried away now people he was up against Hazard who's trash up front.

Kos is a great player to have at home. Its the away games when teams are crossing and lobbing balls into the box where he gets found out (Chelsea didn't really cross the ball at height and Kos swepted everything up - yes I know it was at home). Its the Watfords, Southampton, Palace etc where we struggle with him. Use him at home and we will be fine for them games at least. Away you need a different approach.

 

[albakos]

I watched his "Stronger" documentary again and it seems like the medics/physios predictions about him coming back even stronger than before injury are about to be realized.

That is because they had good amount of time to treat his sensitive Achilles, so here's to hoping he is on a good way to coming back to a good form.

Replace that video with one of his top 25 mistakes and your comment still works

League Cup final, sending off vs City in 2013, of course letting Griezmann score. That's just off the top of my head.

Seriously, Say Yes, the guy's had a stinking year so why don't you take your agenda for a walk and when you come back, I'll ram it right up your ****ing arse.

I actually laughed out loud for real at this I can see that distraught face he always puts on when he does those big **** ups.

Want to what's more amazing than that?

Almost 3/4 of his goals in that video were assisted by players who are no longer here

 

[ksarp]

Let's not get too carried away now people he was up against Hazard who's trash up front.

He goes up against United’s fluid front three of martial , Rasford and Lingaard. That will be a test.

 

[Ricardinho]

Some finishes among that lot that a striker would be proud of nevermind a defender

Will be watching with this in mind. Think you may have a good point here.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

The day this guy leaves Arsenal is the day we might actual be able to build a solid back line, was terrible again vs Man United and was at fault for the first goal and didn't do anything to stop the second.

He's the biggest victim, no strikers fear him and fans of other teams never look at him as a threat but Arsenal fans always want to hype him.
