Laurent Koscielny is vastly underrated here.

    Kompany isn't acrobatic and mobile enough to score like Koscielny did today, similar to what he did against Wigan last week when Kone could have scored.

    Higuain.

    The latest addition to Koscielny's bitch list.

    Welcome, why don't you take a seat over there between Ibrahimovic and van Persie.

    The guy's an animal. I hope Barcelona or Bayern don't try to buy him.

    Reckon we could get 20+ million for him. Hope the accountant isn't reading this, might give him an idea.

    If Kos only manages to play the 2013/14 season at 75% of todays output, he will still finish as the Prems top defender.

    Immense performance!!!

    Yeah, definitely £20+ million. For me, he's the best in the league.

    I fully agree with you COYG.

    I've rated him since we signed him and ever since he kept Messi in his pocket i have believed he is one of the best defenders around. He even made Djourou look good for a while! It's good he has managed to get his place in the team ahead of Verm and if he keeps up this form and doesnt get injured i'm confident we will be alright at the back.

    He was immense again today. Higuain didn't get even a hint of a chance. Dominated.

    As immense as Koscielny is, you need to chill. Higuain just came back from vacation. Looked sloppy as hell. But it happens. Unfair to place him in there.

    All though I agree his induction is questionable, I do believe he will be in there sooner or later.

    You see how happy some of the Scousers were when were 2-0 down? "You see that Suarez? You see that? Just hang around now. Arsenal are rubbish." God they are desperate.

    Koscielny is the best CB in the Prem IMO. Sorry Kompany.

    Nah. Not yet. He needs to keep up this good form. He's always had the ability. He just lost concentration at vital times, which let him down.

    To be fair to him, he does have to do 2 people's jobs. Because Gibbs is a poor defender, Kos has to cover the LB position too.

    His positioning is terrible. He's a good tackler, and physically he's good, but he's seriously lacking in the mental aspect of his game.
