That's only because of the reckless system Arsenal play, their CBs are exposed all the time and Koscielny is forced to make these sort of challenges in the box all the time. When he has Mertesacker as a partner as well who practically has no pace, he has to cover that up most times by being the cover defender and that usually means he's the one making last ditch tackles. As said before, due to the volume and amount of times they both get exposed, it's kind of inevitable.

Koscielny would be much better here at CFC under Jose, he's better than Cahill in almost everything for me.

Kos is argubly the best CB in the EPL and under Jose and in Chelsea, he would sky rocket in status in the world...

Knee jerk reaction from the guy above me.

But I been saying this for some time:

I think he's the weak link in our defense.

Guy ain't that good.

So we will have a problem when Terry gone because he ain't world class.

So yes cahill continues to remain our weak link but if we lose today it will not be totally his fault.

We was a bit rusty today, the whole team.

The only thing I can say in his defense is that he's played far too many mins for club and country this season and it shows. No player has played more mins for Chelsea this season. He's looked out of sorts in the last few games and should have been rotated more.

Let's be honest, Cahill is average at best and rubbish at worst. He is the weakest member in the first 11 and is only really in the side by default (Zouma who is the only other option is not considered a real alternative just yet).

He was fine last year when he had all the protection in the world and even then he would try his best to make mistakes.

I did say at the start of the season that no one should be surprised if Zouma develops well enough and overtakes Cahill... He's been awful for some games now. Doubt he'll get dropped though.

I would love to see a back line of Luis - Terry - Ivanovic - Azpi. Please make it happen Jose.

I've never been fully convinced of Cahill, but credit where credits due he was brilliant in the 2nd half of last season. Hopefully he regains that kind of form or he'll be out of the team.

Out of the team is more then likely.

People didn't wanted to accept this when we was in good form September and October and now they finally seeing it.....

Zouma isn't at the level yet to take over Cahill neither, it would be a big gamble that can be a disaster or pay of good in the long run.

So I think this is the time where Mourinho must put his mouth where his talk is. If he is truly serious about youth development then he will gamble on them now that we need freshness.

If not we go into the January transfer window to buy.

I expect buy, as I'm a pessimist when it comes to our youth no matter who is our coach. We don't do youth.
