[Jamie Carragher] Arsenal’s Gabriel & Saliba can go alongside some of the greatest defensive partnerships we’ve seen in the #PremierLeague era & before! Terry & Carvalho… Rio & Vidic….

True, but compared to those names they come with the bonus of beeing good with the ball too!

Rio and Carvalho were the “ball-playing” partners in those combos.

When they start to lift trophies I fully expect this to be a hard fact

A couple of PL’s and another 3-4 years of this form and they’d be in the conversation.

We need to win majors before we can even *begin* to compare to any of those duos. 2 second place finishes doesn’t cut it

They are the best pair since Adams/Bould at Arsenal.
Keown was a bit rasher than Bould whom Adams said was his preferred partner.
These boys are as calm at the back at Adams/Bould there is a real sniff of 90/91 about this defensive unit.
City away if we nick a 1-0 win like we did in 90/91 at Anfield you have to think arsenal are in good nick this season.

Need some silverware before we start comparing them

I think once we win major honours, it will be a universal truth that these two, might actually be one the best CB pairing arsenal have had in the modern era of English football.
Just gotta keep our heads down and keep going at it, not get put off by obstacles like citeh in the league or teams like Madrid in European games.
