Would Arteta do it though?Would like white saliba to start.
I'd say no he'd sooner play the two footed Tomiyasu there. Lisandro Martinez pursuit makes sense even though I know he's short. I'm sure Arteta notices it too.

Yeah that's there. But I feel it's obvious that Mikel has a soft spot for white I don't think he will drop him. I'm confident saliba is not going to give Mikel a chance to drop as well. So he might drop Gabriel. I don't know how tomiyasu will do at cb though if ends up with choosing him.Would Arteta do it though?

That's where he plays for the national team and before he joined Arsenal (years ago). I'm confident he could do it whilst meeting the specifications Arteta wants. Obviously it won't be the same as a natural left footer but still.Yeah that's there. But I feel it's obvious that Mikel has a soft spot for white I don't think he will drop him.

Saliba getting all the plaudits but if we played Saliba with White, like some are advocating, I think we would really miss Gabriel, especially his aerial ability which is superb.He doesn't get the credit he deserves.
Very solid once again a very good partnership with willo
Gabriel is one of best air not just in Prem but world football. White is more versatile so he can play a different role, I don’t think either of our CBs are in danger of the dropSaliba getting all the plaudits but if we played Saliba with White, like some are advocating, I think we would really miss Gabriel, especially his aerial ability which is superb.

Exatly, he plays LCB there. And Tomiyasu has been very solid in his 1st season in EPL, apart from being injury-prone, the guy is a machine. I would have no worries him playing cup games as CB first.Tomi plays at CB for the national team, I wouldn't be worried about him at all.
His physicality is massive for us though, a huge reason why we’re so good on set pieces - both offensively and defensively. As long as Zinchenko plays he’s good, next to Tierney they might have to change things though.Now that the game is won, and he has done magnificently well in us achieving that... is it time for us to speak about his ability on the ball.
Today showed us why teams either leave him alone to run with the ball and do nothing with it. Or press him as we saw with Mitrovic.
I said during the off season that we need to bench Gabriel and play Saliba and White as our starting CB pair. Going forward, a left footed ball playing CB is needed. Its harsh I know, but if we want to ascend to an elite level team, he needs to ride the bench or go for big money.
