On the flipside, Koscielny was weak in the air when Arsenal conceded and had an atrocious clearance after Kompany's bike (!) that nearly cost Arsenal a goal. I thought Mertesacker was the better CB defensively. It's all in the positioning with the giant. I lost count how many times Silva tried to thread a ball through and Mert was there to intercept.
I thought that was great movement and anticipation by Koscielny on the corner. He withdrew, expecting a weak clearance header. Can be a very shrewd player, one of his strengths.

See all 22 comments7 interceptions for Per, so I'm right on that one, but 6 tackles and 12 clearances for Koscielny.
