Reshaped Arsenal's defence. Gave them all a hard lesson on how to defend. And it's showing tbh i mean, 3 cleansheets in a row isn't a coincidence. Especially not for a club like ours......

Best defence in the league :bow:

Pat rice was a G that's why

the one other time we had a great defence was the run to the champions league final, when we had another former defender coaching the team. Does this mean the bad defending is all down to wenger and not the players? hmm

This thread needs MOAR appreciation.

Haven't been this confident in our back line in years.

Dem English fullbacks :bow:

Dem Mertesacker's long legs :bow:

Dem Vermaelen's screamings at the top of his lungs :bow:

Koscielny back too. hmm

Arsenal's defence is looking very solid. This man will be their best recruitment this season.

1-nil Arsenal is back :bow:

by archwooohh Sun Sep 02, 2012 11:52 am

Really solid defense, I envy that. Koscielny to start playing longer again soon and however young Jenkinson is that back 4 will get boosted by Sagna.

Meanwhile, we've conceded 5 in 3 matches this season Laughing

Proving that buying players isn't the solution to everything. Our defensive system last season was so broken it was hard to tell exactly what we needed, so the fact that we didn't go out and buy players just to buy them will in the end save us money and give us time to truly assess where our weaknesses are so we can invest in areas where we actually need a solution.

this thread is too knee-jerk tbh, wait after 20 games then we will see if there is actually a big difference

agreed, and it will be interesting to see how we cope if arteta where to get injured. he's like our most important defensive player lool. lets hope bould keeps doing what he is doing and improving every individual player defensively .
