Saliba and Gabriel were the best pairing in the PL last year, a couple of errors doesn't make a bad playerOriginally Posted by Chippy
That said, if there's one or two more then maybe trying out Kiwior or one of the others might give him time to get his head straight
Please don't give Arteta any more ideas....he's probably somewhere having a wet dream thinking of the next 3 CBs he he'd like to recruit this January!!
But seriously, you should remember he tried dropping him at the start of last season and we all remember the points that cost us.
CBs will always make mistakes, but they should be rated on quantitative things like how many goals we are conceding in the box and how many times they manage to make the likes of Haalaand look like paper tigersOr have you forgotten how Drogba use to make our CBs look like a pair of pansies??

He dropped him because there was the very real possibility that the club wanted to sell him to make money. The fact is that he was consistently in the team after the Saudi transfer window closed.
A black Cygan is a bit much, that guy’s unofficial nickname was Robocop because he looked like him without the mask and he had the same amount of mobility
But he has been poor this season, his decision making is off and he gets the ball trapped under his feet when it comes to completing interceptions. However he was having brain farts two years ago, and he got it out of his system eventually. He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed and he needs to develop a better understanding with David Raya but I wouldn’t say we are quite in dropping territory yet
Partey long term should be dropped because his engine is gone. If he plays at all it should not be at 6.
Timber can play midfield, however, didn't he get injured again on Saturday?
Saying Timber can play midfield is like saying Zinchenko can play as a striker. Just because the weird inverted left back role he ended up in midfield, doesn’t mean he’s capable of it.
People say Gabriel is a defender, I would argue with that 🤣
But that’s you being silly and over the top. Gabriel has along with Saliba formed the most watertight defensive partnerships in European football currently. He’s not had a great start to the season, but he’s still a top defender.
Just saying.

We may actually need Timber in midfileld the way our delicate players are going at the moment
Odegaard now.
Odegaard played the whole 90, as did Haaland.
Drew 0-0 against Kazakhstan.
It's bizarre how those two can't get anything going for Norway.
