Mikel needs a new contract
My gawd get people on that know what they are talking about. He’s a right sided defender at the very least
Arsenal’s Team A is looking good. However Arsenal’s Team B i.e. all the current replacements for all of the positions i see them coming on as great subs but not as great starts.
This duffer speaks nonsense 😭 Timber in Gabriels place . What football do u guys watch
Timber is a right footed centre back the same as saliba, so he starts instead of him or ben white as a rb. Why can't these clowns do their research?? Lazy reporting. The disrespect gabriel gets is insane. Why dont they look at the stats and talk. No wonder its a popcorn show.
Stevie hurting that arsenal are better than Liverpool
😂 he’s not replacing Gabriel. No chance. Great addition, ads depth, can play an inverted role buzzing 🙌🏾
Whenever someone replaces Gabriel in our back line, I know they’re highlight watching merchants. No chance you can watch the full 90 and make such ridiculous statements.
Are they Drunks or just insecure pundits?
Football knowledge ZERO
Ramsdale
White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zina
Odegaard, Partey, Rice
Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
How have Liverpool closed the gap to Arsenal this window.
Nobody should be lookin at timber as cb hes not good at interceptions and isnt great in the air 2 of the most important aspects of being a cb
Ben White had a great season last year, but I’m sure he could have used a rest many times. He is constantly overlapping Saka and, while top athletes can handle it, it will be good to be able to rotate him with a top right back.
Gabby being a left footed LCB Timber will not take his spot. Kiwior and Gabby would rotate and Timber would play on the RCB or RB for Saliba or Ben White. He is the upgrade to Holding and will start a fair share of games since we have champions league. When I hear these pundits make silly comments like that I know they don't watch our Gunners play or know Arteta philosophy.
Explain to me how Chelsea and Manchester United have better odds to win the title than Newcastle United? That’s absolute rubbish
Timber is gonna be an option to invert from the right side. He will play both as a CB and RB for Arsenal.
But not a chance he displaces Gabriel who was is best defender period.
Just cannot understand why this panel always play down the importance of Gabriel to this team. He was a better player than Saliba last season and was by a stretch our best defender. Give the guy some respect please
And Man Utd fans thought they were getting him last season 😂
Load of nonsense. This their job ffs. Kiwior was clearly cover for Gabriel and LB. Timber is a replacement for Holding as cover for Saliba and RB. Timber plays RB/RCB/DM.
Arsenal fans should avoid taking Espn fc seriously. They know nothing about this game and it's quite evident with that line up.
Timber is the same kind of player as Saliba and arsenal didn’t have the same quality to replace him. Plus he has the added quality of playing rb and midfield role like zinchenko he is the perfect player for Arteta
Anyone else noticed Tottenham is out of the BIG SIX.I would look down on them just because they had one bad season
Lol pundits playing fantasy football by magically Arteta dropping Gabriel for no reason 😂
Gab Marcotti is an absolute clown
