He and Shaw are the only ones in the back line that can play it out. Even then his level is miles above Shaw.
Oh I agree I'm not criticizing us for the lack of cohesion, was more just making the point that I think Varane and Martinez is a better pure CB partnership even if Arsenal has a better defensive record.They have had nearly 3 years together to perfect that though. You'd hope after 3 years and a few more signings in key positions we'd reach that level too. We already show it in flashes here and there this season.
That's a fair point, but they seem to defend really well from the front. Especially when Jesus is in the team, who also just joined, but came from a great team that were used to winning. No doubt that's helped the backline, as both Saliba and Gabriel look like they have a clanger in them.Saliba only properly joined the Arsenal squad this year.
Gabriel isn't that good though he's carried by Saliba who is probably the best CB in the league currently.It's a defensive unit, not a collection of individuals.

McTominay and AWB deserved to concede about 6 so it probably balances out.He's here to stay which is great to have.
Him and varane probably didn't deserve to concede 3 goals in that game but such is life.
Saliba and Gabriel arguably better considering league position.
Arsenals goal differential is better by 22… imagine if we scored 22 more where would we be on the table??? So in other words that’s a poor argumentNah I think if you swap the CB partnerships Arsenal becomes even better. Arsenal certainly defends better as a team though in terms of how they press from the front which helps considerably
Yeah what a dissaster class, we need casemiro back asap.McTominay and AWB deserved to concede about 6 so it probably balances out.
