He would look better in three man midfield. He can't play in double pivot except with Santi, but players like Santi don't grow on trees.

Don't need to suggest it, pretty obvious imo. He can't pass a ball to save his f*cking life. Yes he can put a tackle in every now and again but we're playing a midfield 2. Like @Trilly said mark everyone but him and every attack breaks down.
really, ramsey will be the one to do the defensive work? you think it was easy to cut through us today? try chamberlain and ramsey and what do u think will happen

As @berric pointed out, people questioning Coquelin's passing/distributing ability should watch the video in the OP.

The latter part of it has Cazorla/Özil level passing in it :drool:
I know we've all said things in the past that would look silly now but I couldn't resist this one. :lol:

Why do we need someone to do defensive work? How many top teams do you see in the CL with cloggers dedicated just to that.

The best teams win the ball back with pressing and off the ball work. Modric and Kroos just won a CL as a midfield duo.

A striker, pure 10 & two attack minded wide players is quite rare. Then our open style & prone to being countered its hard to put too much blame on central midfield & defenders. Hector & Coq put out so many fires even against poor opposition.

Our pressing is awful, unorganised & often just a waste of energy.

Yeah when we've got Ramos, Ronaldo, Bale,Benzema, etc. then we can talk about playing a lightweight midfield.

The 8-2 humiliation at Old Trafford should probably have been Francis Coquelin's last game for Arsenal.

If we're doing history revisionism, shouldn't have started that one either.

The ****er can't even do the only thing he was supposed to do well any longer.
