He’s won nothing
Yes.
Deschamps better open his eyes and pick this man to play in the Euros. The level of coolness he brings to the back 4 is insane, and he's the perfect pairing with Gabriel who is very aggressive.
Yes or no…
He’s probably the closest one in our squad to WC level. Been definitely top 3 Itw
Exactly, people always want the Arsenal fans to pipe down and be humble when talking about their players and club. Saliba is world class idc how this season ends
Saliba was been class for us this season
Old Trafford is falling down😂
Saliba and Gabriel soon will be labelled as world class defenders. Both of them are good and this is second season in a row we are in title race with this centre backs pair. I'm not worried about their situations in national teams. They will get praise which they deserved.
Same thing with Ben White (even if he had bad performance vs Man United) he is consistent and always available.
There’s no bias here, he’s a Roles Royce of a defender and gets into ANY first 11 in the world. That means he’s world class.
Having a defender as best player in the team in so many matches is not exactly a good thing man…
No he isn’t…Rio is the judge of world class
For what it's worth: I genuinely don't mind being reminded to hit the like-button. You deserve it and I am glad to support you
What an idiotic question!
Seliba is a fucking world 🌎 class and we are happy to have him all day 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
beyond world class, he's the best in history
Any player that represents his country that is top 5 in the world ranking can imo called world class. It’s in the name.
He is not just world class he is the best CB in the league
I think one thing overlooked which is just how poised he is as a defender, he has the head of a 30 year old seasoned defender at his young age. Also he is hyper efficient, this was a trait that Sergio bersquets had in Barca that people overlooked. You don’t need to do step overs to get around a player, that’s a young footballers mentality. Similarly you don’t need to do slide tackles to be a good defender. Saliba makes hard work look easy and that’s why he’s overlooked. He also stops chaos from even starting which is why he doesn’t have to do any match of the day type highlights defensive work to recover.
Lastly, something to look forward to is we have saliba, Gabriel and rice in our squad who train together every day as ELITE defenders. This alone means each of them will grow their defensive skills and any young players we introduce to the team will grow exponentially accordingly (Patino for instance).
Messi is Messi because he trained with Ronaldinho every day before breaking into the team. Nwaneri gets odegaard and saka to learn from, our young defenders have a world class backline to learn from
At his age, talent and potential ceiling – Arsenal have got a gem of a WC player and he will be instrumental in a defense which will only get better next year. I am looking forward for Arsenal to improve the squad so we challenge across all cups as well as the premiership.
NO footballplayer has won a throphy by his own. Football is a TEAM sport! So scrap that category
I agree with you James, William Saliba is one of the best CBs in the world….so what is the problem with Deschamps?
DUN, DUN DUN DUN DUN, DUN DUN,
DUN, DUN DUN DUN DUN, DUN,
DUN, DUN DUN DUN DUN, DUN DUN,
DUN DUN, DUN DUN
And he is only 23.
If only he's not injured last season we won have won the EPL he's indeed a world class player
I just hope Robbie understands now why Moh wore that flag that got him kicked out of AFTV. Students all across the world understood. The ICJ court understood. 143 countries (excluding US, UK, Germany) around the world understood. People with even a shred of humanity now understands.
The most impressive thing is…he’s only 23
COYG
Clueless Deschamps still wont start Saliba in French squad…Saliba has been a consistent performer this season at very2 top level
“They rode for their players” pause
Can't wait for him to bail to Madrid once he realises he aint winning much at Arsenal.
😂😂😂😂😂 he is a very good defender but he hasn't really got much to deal with in the PL .
Someone send this to Deschamps.
As an promotional idea you could make your channel the end credits to the tactical insight show. Tell everyone on Aftv that you'll go further indepth here.
Doesn't matter who is World Class. Arsenal had the best striker on the planet and didn't get a CL.
Points tallys and even invincibility are worthless at the end of the day. If city are a 100 rated team, Arsenal are a 90 rated team and Liverpool a 70 rated team. Liverpool may have overachieved, City under achieved and Arsenal have hit standard by points. You don't get to say you've gone toe-to-toe with City. As Wenger said when the opportunity to win a league is presented to you you take it. The team that started vs Villa was arrogant and the loss of an opportunity.
