League is very weak
Like I have been saying for 18 months, and been mocked for on here, he’s in a natural decline now.

Never world class.
Good for one major **** up in every very big game.
Koscielny makes more mistakes in a single season than most top defenders do in their entire careers.
His defending for the 3rd goal was really poor and disappointing. The terrible pass for the 1st was also disappointing, but I think we have to spot a trend here. It's been a while now that our passing from the back has been very suspect. Kos/Mustafi/Monreal are good passers, but they're still defenders, we can't expect them all to be Kroos.
It feels like the reason they might be making these stupid unnecessary passes is because Xhaka isn't a viable outlet for them. Xhaka didn't make himself available for the pass for the two goals at the start and I'd understand if defenders subconsciously aren't confident in giving him the ball under pressure, so they resort to something riskier.
The same applies to our criticism of Alexis giving the ball away up the pitch. Attackers give the ball away, that's the nature of attacking. It all comes down to Xhaka. He's not solid enough to receive the ball from centre-backs under pressure, and not mobile enough to stop attacks when we've lost the ball.
Blame Xhaka, that's my thought of the day.
Really not sure whether this is satirical or not. Hope it is.
Charlie Nicholas said:“Arsenal will do what they do, they’ll win the game [against Bayern Munich] but they’ll come nowhere close to qualifying because they can’t defend,’ Nicholas told Sky Sports.
Please stop telling me Laurent Koscielny is a world-class defender.’
That Dzeko tackle does my head in. What an incredibly unecessarily daft thing to do
As Charlie Nicholas said last March before the Bayern game:
Ironically of course we didn’t beat Bayern in the end, despite playing fantastically.
Laurent Koscielny conceded a pen and got himself sent off against the run of play.
