Big Gabi is the most underrated player in our squad, our duo really make each other shine but that’s not appreciated enough.
To get past them you either need to be faster and tricky enough to cause Saliba issues (who is?) or stronger and more aggressive than Gabriel (who is?). Such a perfect combo.
And now we’ve added Rice, we’ve completely nullified the opposition’s ability to beat us going long or beat us in transition or beat us in set-plays. Only alternative left is to go toe to toe with us but then Saka & Martinelli are left 1v1 all game, good luck with that.
Or you could do what almost every team in the PL has tried so far, two banks consisting of 5-3 or 4-4 or even a 4-5 and just hope desperately something falls your way while you defend for your lives for 90mins.
I have full trust in Arteta, he’s shown time and time again an ability to evolve his team to counteract, once we start to unlock these ridiculous low blocks with ease, it’s game over. For now we have to settle for top of the PL.
