Yeah Carragher was never much of a footballer and Hyypia was a lot slower than Koscielny.
I feel like maybe both were more reliable as defenders than koscielny has been though?
Yeah I'd agree with that also, I think Koscielny has improved somewhat in that manner but not to their standard, there was a period where he kept losing his head in the box and giving away penalties.
'miles ahead' of arguably best CB in the league? He wouldn't start for Spurs or Chelsea.
Appreciate he is a good player but unsure why you think he is that good.
Miles ahead is probably an exaggeration, but I'd also have Koscielny comfortably ahead of Vertonghen.
I probably rate Vertonghen lower than you do though, as I wouldn't have him up there with the best prem CB's, but rather a tier below.
There's absolutely no way that Koscielny doesn't start ahead of Cahill.
