Spridda röster om Coquelin
Prata om att överraska en hel värld. Här skriker hela Gunners gemensamma stormtrupper till fans och även Arsenal som klubb själva om att man måste stärka upp den defensiva mittfältspositionen. Arteta gick sönder, Flamini sprang mest runt och gestikulerade, Diaby var som vanligt skadad, Wilshere och Ramsey var knappast att se som städgummor och Ainsley Maitland-Niles är på tok för ung. "In med en ny mittfältare", lät skriken.
Då klev en viss Francis Coquelin in.
Och överraskade alla. Inkluderat sig själv.Kunde han ana att en misslyckad séjour i Freiburg och en månad i Charlton skulle ge honom så mycket råg i ryggen att han skulle äga det defensiva mittfältet mot Manchester City? Wenger menade "I took him from France at the age of 16. Today he is 23. He has gone through some difficult periods but he’s a learner from his experiences. I’ve always kept faith in him, because I told him three months ago that he needed to play somewhere. He accepted to go down to Charlton and had convincing performances. Now he’s come back, I’ve played him and he’s done very well" och diskussionerna ger att Wenger nu funderar på att byta inriktning och köpa in en ytterback/mittback istället.
Objektet själv var naturligtvis enormt nöjd med matchen och sade "We defended really well as a unit and that was key to the win.We scored at key moments in the game as well and that’s why we were delighted with the win.I try to do the best I can and I’m very happy that we won. It’s a tough game to win but we did that and now we need to move onto the next one because there is no point winning here and then losing at home in the next game. Hopefully we can win the next game as well.It’s a big lift for the squad. We were waiting for this win and now we can move onto the next game and hopefully do well until the end of the season.”
.Hans medspelare Aaron Ramsey häpnar av förvåning över Coquelins snabba utveckling, men tror på att det kan vara något stort i vardande" He has done well.He’s at that age now where he understands the game a lot more and he has done really well in the last few weeks."It is funny how quickly things can change in football. One week he was on loan at Charlton and then he comes back in and he has been in the team every week. He has done a very good job defensively for the team.He wins it back, keeps it simple and just keeps things ticking over. Hopefully he can build on his performances that he has been showing of late and he has got every chance of turning into a top defensive midfielder.”
Det är halvvägs in i Silly Season. Wenger har värvat polske Bielik - en defensin mittfältare på tillväxt - men blir det något mer för den defensiva mittfältsapparaten? Historien visar när det gäller Alex Song, så var rösterna delade. Han gick dock på lån till Charlton - han åxå - och kom tillbaka som chef över det defensiva mittfältet. Kan Coquelin göra om detta?
