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?

Hi Sally. I don't think your players are selfish or they want to up their goal tally just to impress their international managers. They don't seem to be those kind of players. There were good signs earlier on in the season where Gyok was getting played in and he was scoring goals. I still think he'd come good and that the rest of the team would get used to having a player making those runs in behind.
Thanks for you nice words too. It feels nice to go 5 games unbeaten but two of those games were against Sunderland and Leeds that we drew. The Sunderland game needed a last minute goal line clearance to maintain the draw and we threw away the lead twice against Leeds. Things do seem to be getting better now but our fitness is a major concern. Our players were dead in their feet against Brighton and many went down with cramps. Not what we want to see more when we are halfway through the season. I think top 4 should be our target for now and once we get that then we can start thinking about chasing you and city down for top spot. Still too early to think we have fully turned the corner though. We have a good squad, much better than what we are showing, but Slot has to prove himself again and make full use of them.

Liverpool fan here and admittedly I have not watched much of your recent games so what I'm about to say is what I observed much earlier in the season.
But I think the players, and maybe to an extent Arteta, do not know how to play with a proper CF. Arsenal has not played with a CF in quite a while, always choosing to play with a false nine all these previous seasons so they're looking awkward now with a player who is an actual CF and is making those runs in behind. Your players are still playing like they have a false nine and that just isolates Gyok further. I did see some good signs earlier in the season though where balls are played to Gyok but like I said, I'm not sure if they have pushed on with that. Didn't help that he got injured and is just coming back from it. They'd have to re-adapt to him again but I think he'll come good for you.

A good win against a tough Burnley side for you, Gabi. I'm more chuffed that my team won last night too, to put a stop to the atrocious run we had going. Just a shame that United scrapped through with a draw otherwise it would have been a perfect night of results ;)
Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, I was asking for Ed014 on our page but didn't exactly get a reply from him. Do any of you know where's his whereabouts? Hope all is good with him.
Miss his banter and him taking the piss out of our posters on our page.
{Ed014's Note - hi mate, I’m banned from your page, apparently I was putting posts up that shouldn’t have gone up and put a post up where one poster was rude to another.
An absolute load of rubbish but not my monkies not my circus. ?♂️
Alls good though mate and hopefully likewise with you.

Sadly, I think Ed025 is right. Can't see City receiving anything more than a fine and maybe a warning. Would be nice to see them docked points and be stripped of their titles but don't see that happening at all.

No worries Sussex, no offence taken at all. On the contrary, I'd love for the current Liverpool team to have a bit of steel in them. We have a soft belly atm and could do with a hard man in the centre of the pitch.
