Laurent Koscielny

[Rosso]

Someone change the thread title.

 

[Hunta]

What idiot made this thread.

 

[tap-in]

He's been done for some time. Tonight was nothing new, he should be a back up option next season.

 

[MutableEarth]

Yeah, it's been drawn out over the season, but he's finished. Nowhere near as effective as previous seasons.

 

[Vinci]

Captain Bottler.

And Mustafi too, slipping at a crucial time.

Idiots.

 

[HBL]

You don't try whatever complete stupidity he was doing in a situation like that.

He has been massive for us over the years but has sadly always had a mistake in a big match in him.

He shouldn’t have tried whatever he was trying but he isn’t finished at all. Still our best cb and I’d back him to look great again next to a competent cb not an absolute calamity like Mustafi.

Unfortunately football is a game of margins, his error got punished, when errors from others didn’t. Plenty of occasions where Özil, Welbeck and Wilshere gave the ball away in dodgy areas but they didn’t get punished.

Always loved Kos but damn....next season he should get Per's role as far as starting games goes.

Jesus.....

CB's can't afford to make mistakes on a regular basis, it's harsh but that's just how it is. I thought he was absolutely fantastic tonight but there's not much point if you're going to **** up like he did in the end.

 

[BBF]

He's finished at the top level.

 

[say yes]

Been **** for two seasons.

Has bottled big moments his entire career.

 

[TakeChillPill]

Needs to see a sport psychologist

Needs to see a sport psychologist

Hopefully at a different club.

 

[Furious]

Needs to see a sport psychologist

We hired one for the players.

The psychologist has now seeked help for himself.

Laughable comments. Our fans really are some of the worst, he is our best cb so we have no choice but to play him. Don’t even try and tell me Mustafi, Chambers or Holding are better.

I’ll wait for the comments saying Mertesacker made him next because no doubt some of you will be chatting sh*t like that next.

 

[Camron]

He was fantastic, that one mistake aside. Sadly, that one mistake matters a lot. I'm sad for him tbh.

But that's always Koscielny. He has always been that guy with the game changing mistake in him. He has never had the CB partner he needed though. Sad story but we need to move on.

Let us rant please. Come back with your common sense tomorrow.

 

[Brown Gooner]

Kos has had at least one brain fart in store in every big game Arsenal has played. Even during his prime.

Massively overrated here by fellow users.

Needs to accept a Per role from next season or must be sold. I’d rather give the young guns (Chambers, Holding and the Greek guy) a chance.

 

[GDeep™]

What can I say.

 

[BBF]

Always rated Koscielny but he's completely finished now. He was quality once upon a time but now he's even more error prone, slower and hasn't matured defensively in almost 2 years.

Time for him to take a step back.

Also more unreliable and injury prone as well!

I’ve been upset with him for quite some time now but personally today was the straw that broke the camels back.

He is totally finished as a top tier CB! I cannot see him starting a crucial European SF for any of our other Top Six rivals. Not even Liverpool!
