Over a season, he plays at his best 90% of the times. I think you nitpick too much based on few games and just think he's like that all the time.So he rather gets red cards whilst giving away pens than possibly a goalscoring chance? He sleeps often himself too.
He can be a top CB on his day, but I've see many top matches of him which were very below par. Just look at the Hazard goal last season for example.
At the end of the day, a lot of the goals we concede can be stopped further up the pitch, but our midfield doesn't exist so the defenders at the back are often facing a large number of players running at them.
Number of times we get caught on the counter is appalling. At united, Chelsea, city and even spurs, there's a matic, Kante, wanyama/diet, fernanidnho etc. That help prevent this and they are further assisted by a good system and organisation.
Wenger knows midfield ain't doing enough so switched to back 3, but again he's not good enough at coaching the team how to play it well.
