White, Mosquera, Gabriel, Saliba, Calafiori, Timber. That's six right there.
And before you say that White, Calafiori, and Timber aren't CBs since they play as RBs/ LBs for you, I would just like to add that they were primarily playing as CBs in the previous clubs before they moved to Arsenal. Similar to how Hincapie is playing as a CB now for Leverkusen.

Context is important Sussex. You're counting defenders as a whole whereas we're looking at CBs. We have four at for two positions with one looking to leave whereas you all already have 6 CBs and are looking to add one more. Maybe it is Arteta's ultimate game plan to fill his entire starting 11 with them eh? He's already more than halfway there ;)

Wasn't Tomi primarily an RB?

I'm with you, Hoxton. And I don't think it is unimportant. I fail to see the reason why there are so many international breaks in the middle of the domestic season. I can somewhat understand the qualifiers but the friendlies are absolutely pointless.

I agree about the point on the fans on the Liverpool site being fragile, SY. A few have already thrown in the towel and written off the league after 7 games. Tbh, I find you all have more faith in the Liverpool team than we do sometimes ;)
The league is shaping up to be more interesting than last season at least so it'll be a fun ride for us all.

I don't believe that we're out of it yet too G62. Way too early in the season to be throwing the title. Ed001 has provided some of his thoughts to why Liverpool are poor this season and it is a myriad of things. From the changes in personnel, to the training, to the change in playing style, etc. Sounds like too many changes all at once. Arsenal has a set way of playing under Arteta and although I don't agree with it, he has refined it and improved on it by buying players who fit that style.
I still think we can bounce back though but it is a massive ask. A lot of it depends on Slot for me and whether he can figure things out to make it all fit together.
Btw SY, if Arsenal wins the league this season, does it also mean that it'd be the easiest league win you've seen too due to competition and injuries too? ;)

I think it's the manner of the losses that worries us the most, Sussex. We were slow and didn't seem like we knew what to do with the ball each time we had it. This is Lot's first time having a "crisis" of this level though so it's time for him to prove that he has the mettle going forward and drag us out of this rut.

The way that Arteta set you all up against us and City doesn't benefit Gyok at all. Arteta played what is essentially four CBs and three CDMs against both us and City so of course your attack is isolated. Gyok has shown that when the team plays more openly and with more fluidity, he can do a job.
Arteta needs to stop having this mentality of bunkering down against the bigger teams and just go for the win. The Arsenal squad is just as good as any and can give any team right now a run for their money.
