Best pairing in world football. It's been a long time since we could realistically say we've got the "best in the world" at a particular area of the pitch but in Saliba/Gabriel I can't see anything better right now.

If there’s a better CB in the world right now, I don’t know who it is.
Absolute Rolls-Royce of a player with zero weaknesses.

Any idea how long Saliba will be out due to injury?

Wouldn't swap him for any CB on the planet.

That shoulder to shoulder on Haaland when he put him on the ground, was stunning from him.
When I think of the best CB displays I have seen at Arsenal...Per v Costa in the cup final, Toure during our Champions League run...but I love how motivated Saliba is to play against Haaland, he knows everyone is watching those games to see how they do against eachother and he relishes it!
I also love how much he and Gabriel trust and support eachother, can tell they love playing together.
There was a moment when Big Gabby tackled Haaland and then immediately won a foul from the forward, after the ref blew for the free kick William started clapping like Gabriel had just scored a goal.
Best partnership in the league right now, imo.

It’s not a real injury lol. Guy stubbed his toe going in the shower or sth, this was one of them “get me out of international duty” tings.

Saliba occured a bruise toe after the match when Saliba finally let Halaand out of his pocket and Halaand landed on his toe.

Natural successor to Van Dijk as the best defender in the league IMO. Probably the world too.

As close as there is to a Van Dijk regen. Not quite as fast but just as elegant and classy a player

The thing about him is he's physically imposing but there's such an elegance and timing to his tackles that he basically never fouls you. When Rudiger manhandled Haaland in the CL last season, it was fun to watch but there was a sense of him getting away with some things that no Arsenal player would ever be allowed to do. Saliba has nullified Haaland twice in 2 months with strength, pace, flawless positioning and just kind of demoralizing him. He won the physical duels but it wasn't with nastiness, it was with a kind of calm nonchalance that I think just beat Haaland mentally as well.

Thank god for that Marseille loan, we would have received a fraction of the player without it.

?? Sals is extremely fast what are you eating in the morning
'Tis true, his effortless timing and anticipation means that he very rarely needs to break into a full-on sprint when defending. But there are few, if any, in world football who can keep up with and take the ball off Mbappe's toe in the manner in which he has done previously.
Supreme talent.
