If Every Arsenal Player Was A Pokemon

Francis Coquelin – Muk

Muk is a living pile of filth. It contaminates anything it comes in contact with and has been known to completely consume lesser beings. I cannot think of a more poetic way to describe what Francis Coquelin does to anyone that tries to get through him.

Coquelin does not let anyone get to Rhydon, Slowbro or Golem unscathed. On the off chance that they do get through, they are going to be sick, poisoned, broken or wilting.

What more could you want in a defensive midfielder? While he does not get forward on offense because he has a knack for contaminating the ball as well, he is ever-present in the defense. As we have learned from his absences, life is not easy without a slimy puddle of filth at the base of the midfield.
