Mikel Arteta told to make crucial moves in January

Mikel Arteta warned over William Saliba’s inexperience.

The Gunners remain on the top of the Premier League table despite their recent loss to Man United.

Former star William Gallas believes the inexperience in defence is an issue that needs to be addressed by Mikel Arteta.

“I’m a little bit disappointed for them because they went to Old Trafford with a great spirit – top of the league and confident – and played really well to begin with,” Gallas told Genting Casino.

“But the story is the same; they conceded three goals and lost three one.

“It looks like that against the biggest teams, away from home, Arsenal are still going to have difficulties. It’s quite simple really. When you go to play against any of the big teams in the Premier League, you need players with personality and character to get anything from those games.

“I naturally look at the defenders. Yesterday, the performance showed me that Arsenal are still missing an experienced defender at the back. When Arsenal were suffering for a few moments, you need your players to show leadership – talk to each other – you need players that can take on the responsibility and dig in for a period. Arsenal didn’t do that.”
