And you think he was a mediocre player. Houston, we have a problem.

Watched him. At Highbury. That's where we used to play before we moved to the Emirates.

Really, I never knew.
You have to question what exactly could he do.
This is a 1.90m+ strong fearless guy that loved defending. The type of defending he excelled in (just like Atleti tonight) takes thousands of hours on the training ground to perfect.
If your defenders dont have the basic physical attributes, mentality or time given in training... you are ****ed.

Clearly.

You coach them.
Positioning is everything in defence. Yet we seem to have gotten worse while he has been here.
I get that Wenger would probably hold him back but if he was a tough of a character as many believe he is, he'd stand up to AW, not retreat back to a yes man. Another huge problem at the club.
The defence is our biggest problem, obvious to everyone.
As I said, he was a mediocre player and the evidence is that he is a mediocre coach.

You are confusing his role as a coach and as a player.
As a coach I can't say he has done much but he was a good centre-half. Anyone who doesn't know that basically doesn't know about football.

Such a ****house call out, the new lefty activist debate tactic.
I'm calling him mediocre.......
Not good, not bad, just vanilla.
Same as he was in his playing career.

You are calling a good player mediocre. You know **** all about football.

Next thing you'll be calling me "plastic" because you just can't debate.

I can debate. But repeating "mediocre" shows the debating skills of a Paraguayan parakeet.
Just watch the Sampdoria game. I rest my case. Arsenal have won 2 European trophies in our history. Without Bould, it would have been one.

Another insult, another typical tactic from the playbook.

Wonder if he might be in with a shout at the Stoke job .
I'm old enough to remember Bouldy as a player - he was not mediocre ffs
