William Saliba: Here to Stay ✍️

[DUFFMAN]

This just shows we are better out of that farmers cup.

 

[Sanchez11]

The obvious answer is just play Holding lol.

fs

 

[MikelHadADream]

Taking the piss surely?

A bit yeah. Honestly do think though playing holding reduces our chances of winning by like 10%.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Nah, we're not so reliant on one player anymore. If we have everyone else fit we'll be fine.

Holding is shocking he kills our game in more ways than just defending. Have PTSD from the run in last season.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Every game is actually 33/33/33 tbh

Yep, free hit this.

 

[BergMan]

Saliba’s recovery runs will be tough to replace. If he’s out it may mean a slight shift of tactics such as a deeper line is needed, else the long ball will kill us.

 

[TH14shahriar]

What kind of back issue is several weeks? Probably lumbago problem, should be back for Leeds imo

 

[Batman]

Zinchenko's weak foot is good enough to play on the right. Might be time to try White middle again. The back can be tricky so we'll need to be careful not to rush him back.

 

[MikeVinna]

Shouldve started Holding in Europa in hindsight. Oh well. Hope Wilo isn’t out for long..

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

This is absolutely devastating.

Also, if Kiwior doesn't start ahead of Holding, what was the point?

Left footed, cover for Gabriel

 

[Rex Stone]

We need to sign a RB and move Tomiyasu to back up centre back.

Sick of Holdini ffs.

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Left footed, cover for Gabriel

Who cares. Ramos and Varane were both right footed?

 

[Nunowoolmez]

So sounds like he'll be available for Leeds hooefully. We should manage to beat Palace ffs, even with Holding.

 

[VibalistDK]

We need to sign a RB and move Tomiyasu to back up centre back.

Sick of Holdini ffs.

If we sign another RB surely we will sell Tomi and keep White as the cover? Also, what makes you think Tomi is a capable center back?

Who cares. Ramos and Varane were both right footed?

Arteta's system is set up to have a right footed and a left footed defender. Like it or not, he rarely ever deviates from this.
You're gonna see Holding on that right side, not Kiwior.

 

[Goonger]

Who cares. Ramos and Varane were both right footed?

It's a weird 1. Been plenty of right footed centre back partnerships, what about left footed ones?

 

[Mitch]

Not good news as Saliba has been one of the best CBs in the league this season.

That said, we have one of best back up CBs in Holding to lessen the blow.

There are three major variations of Arsenal injury:

The one that is reported as a minor knock and the next update is that the player has retired from professional football (aka 'The Rozza' )

The one that is coincidentally sustained just before an international break and fortunatley clears up soon after

The one that never quite goes away (aka 'The Özil' )

To all the f*cking muppets who wanted us to go all out to win the Europa League - well this is what you run the risk of happening.

My only hope is that a few weeks really just means this week and the international break.

No issue with going all out to win it, The issue is going half and half. Either you trust your squad, or you use your best 11.
