Cesc Fabregas has shared his thoughts on Mikel Arteta’s system at Arsenal and emphasised the significance of William Saliba within the team.
Saliba has become a pivotal player at Arsenal, enhancing the team’s defensive stability since his introduction to the first team last season. His impressive performances have earned him recognition as one of the top centre-backs in Europe, attracting the interest of elite clubs across the continent.
Fabregas acknowledges that Arteta’s team plays an attractive brand of football in the Premier League, and he discussed Arsenal’s style of play while mentioning the best team to watch in England.
He named the Gunners alongside Manchester City and Brighton, commenting, as quoted by the Daily Mail:
“Arsenal use that 3-1-3-3 formation – which is six players in front of the ball. It’s about the coach trusting their defenders to be quicker, faster and recover the ball. Then they can play a little bit more attacking football.
‘But you could see the difference when Saliba was playing and got injured [last season]. Mikel will tell you himself that it’s not the same way they can play.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
We clearly are one of the best clubs in Europe and our style of play is enjoyed worldwide.
Brighton and City are also very good teams to watch and everyone knows it would be harder for us to win games without Saliba.

The kid himself admitted his absence during the business end of the last campaign cost us the big jug, am in total agreement if you ask me?
Surely his importance to the outfit was never in doubt.
Do we really need Fabregras to tell us the obvious. We all saw what happened last season and watch Saliba play week in, week out. Yes, he is a rock. By by Cesc. Where were you when we needed you?
Was it obvious to you that we play 3-1-3-3? considering that it is normally Zinchenko on the left Gabriel and Saliba at centre back and White on the right?
It is more like 4-3-3 reverting to a 3-1-3-3 when in transition. When Timber comes back it may even be a 2-2-3-3 as the wing backs move into midfield.
Cesc was a legend – there should be no bad feelings towards him. He has said only good things about Arsenal which is more than some so called legends..
Cesc is no legend! He’s not welcome at Arsenal. He jumped ship when Arsenal needed him most, disregarding all Arsene’s investments/trust in him.
He’s a bigger snake than RVP.
