It's all downhill from here especially given his age.

We need to buy 2 CBs but even that won't matter because of defensive philosophy and training is absolute trash.

There is a reason why he is never among the Arsenal players rumoured to leave the club. He has had a few solid seasons but needs to go back to Ligue 1; incredibly weak against pacey forwards, which is pretty much all EPL teams now.

He's finished. Been one of our better defenders over the last few years but she has caught up.

When he's up against pace, pace and more pace he just doesn't have the legs anymore ... couple that with the fact that the players around him have the positional sense of a bag of spuds, and I'm afraid he's no longer good enough for a game of this type .... age catches up with even the best of us .....

Koscielny is finished. The mistakes he used to make as a rookie when we first signed him are coming back in his twilight years. I remember his first game for us away at Liverpool years back, he played like a headless chicken and got himself sent off. He was a shambles in that game as he was last night against the same club..

He is finished.. Very likeable guy but i think he us costing is games now on a daily basis.

am hoping this is just a bad patch ( a real ugly mangy one )....

cos he has been so solid for some time... i mean, every defender make the occasional blunder... but he's piling them on game after game...

Remember when Pires was shipped cos he reached that incredibly old age of 30? :lol:
