William Saliba: Rolls Royce

[gunman90]

Never saw Terry or Rio have bad games in their peak years. Or it was 2/3 a season. They were monsters.

I'd see Terry and Rio get embarrassed by the likes of Henry and Torres often so this is simply not true.

Wow they got embarrassed by the best player in English football history. Cheers.

That wasn't your claim though was it? You said they never got embarrassed during their peak years. Be more precise with your words when making claims.

Rarely gets praised anymore but he’s having a monstrous season

Guess we’re used to it

 

[Gooner Zig]

It's actually crazy but he's been mad underrated this season. He's having his best season ever.

Absolute colossus.

He’s our best defender, and a top 2 player along with Rice.

I think he's the best defender itw

That's Gabriel for me

Fair. I think Gabriel is a bigger box presence but Saliba is better 1v1 and light years better on the ball. They're #1/2 for me anyways.

has assumed so much build up responsibility this season, and he’s done very well imo

This Rolls may need an oil change and a new air filter, but he's still a Rolls Royce.

Absolute colossus.

His runs up the pitch into midfield at times earlier in the season had me nervy at first, but he handles them so damn well. He's remarkable to watch.

 

[Aubamabludclat94]

I love how much responsibility Saliba has assumed in build up. I think it shows enormous character and his desire to be one of the best players in the world, not just one of the best defenders. However, he still can keep improving in this facet imo. He's not quite there yet. The weight of his passing frequently lets him down when trying some slightly more adventurous options. Luckily, it hasn't backfired too often recently. He's so talented and so young, I'm sure we'll eventually see him become very efficient at it. Onwards and upwards!

I think it’s reached the stage whereby top performances from him and Gabriel just seem like it’s the norm. I really like how they nullified Kofane after he was giving them a bit of a tough time in the first leg.

On to Haaland on Sunday they know what to do.

Lol

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

I think saliba could become the president of France one day una. Got that confident big D aura around him, and a very calming assertive voice
Something to keep an eye on

 

[Topside]

He's a fantastic player, him and Big Gabby are both huge presences in different ways.

They compliment each others games also, coming into the last two months of the season with both in great form, augurs well.

Saliba has had a couple of niggling ankle injuries but last few games he's back to his best.
