Francis Coquelin: No Longer Needed?

[Hunta]

He WAS doing a very good job when he came into the team.

Not been the same since Sp**s away last season when he ****ed up. He goes down holding his knee every game as well.

I'd sell if we got a good offer, but he's handy as a 4th/5th choice CM for us, not first choice as Wenger thinks.

 

[truth_hurts]

He's not a bad midfielder overnight but he is in horrible form. Had no right to start last night

 

[Jack the lad]

he is barely premier league quality.

 

[Preacher]

He has gone backwards. I was big fan of him, when he broke into the first team, but now, I don't understand what happen to him. Barely a footballer.

What's a good offer? Who would pay beyond 5M for him?

Send him back to Freiburg or Charlton asap.

 

[Trilly]

Two contracts in two years was quite confusing tbh.

Coquelin must be so happy, no doubt in my heart he would be a championship player if it wasn't for Wenger. Now, just like Jenkinson he'll have a decent PL career before eventually ending up at a team that gets relegated/a bench player at a mid table side.

Quite generous of Wenger... Pay rise to the fraud. Coquelin will now still have strong position even if a new manager comes in.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

How do you make 0 tackles in 77 minutes when your team has less than 30% possession.

And how do you only make 6 passes in a team that is renowned for its passing ability.

Without being absolute **** at playing football.

I'd take £5m.

 

[Goon-Ger]

Another one i would accuse of throwing in the towel recently.

Where has his heart went? He used to be fiery and relentless in the middle of the park and now it looks like he is half arsed tracking back or actually playing the DM role.

Even when i really liked him he had limited ability all round but did the ugly side of the job which we desperately needed and appreciated, it's now as if he feels he has made it and doesn't have the same passion he once did.

It's a shame as the limited amount of time i have posted on this site i have backed him.

 

[say yes]

Love the way he deliberately doesn't look at our teammates when we've got the ball so they can't pass to him.

 

[AL the gooner]

Tries his best, just doesn't belong to the top level of football. Like many of his teammates.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

He wasn't always as bad as this was he?

 

[say yes]

No but he was also never good enough to be a starter for us.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Just saw the goal from Robben. What the hell is the meaning with that jump?

Coquelin seriously reminds me of the main character in Hunchback of Notre Dame.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

He and Santi had a partnership that was starting quality, very effective most of the time. But he's not been able to complement any of our other midfielders to the same effect. That and he seems to have lost a step since his last injury.

Well that's what I thought. There was a time when people were bemoaning his loss when he was injured. To be honest, it's not just him is it? The team as a whole has looked out of it's depth for a while, with the odd glimpse of excitement here and there.

 

[ggunner12345]

great fence my arse. Can't believe he got a new contract not good enough.

 

[Hunter Zolomon]

Coquelin was brilliant when he first broke into our first team up untill this season. What the hell has happened to him this season? Coquelin has dramatically decline in standard with Cech and Monreal this season - all three doing a Vardy.

Its all tactics bro. Vardy is not getting the service he once did because kante is gone and teams sit deeper when they face Leicester now. Its part if the game, what works one season may not work the next as the opposition adapt to stifle you. The ability to overcome this is where the players ability and the managers tactics come into play.

 

[Hunter Zolomon]

Giving this goatee 2 contracts in space of 2 years is everything that is wrong with this club.

I hope you remember this the next time you defend Wenger.
