Former Arsenal defender William Gallas, has blamed Ben White and William Saliba for their loss to Manchester United at the weekend.
United beat Mikel Arteta’s side 3-1 to end their 100% start to the season.
Arsenal had a good game and could have earned at least a point from the fixture.
However, they made two mistakes at the back to concede the second and third goal, which effectively ended their chance of getting anything from the fixture.
Gallas has now revealed the players that should take the blame and why.
He said, as quoted by Metro Sport:
‘Against Manchester United, at Old Trafford, you can’t concede those types of goals, especially the second and the third one.
‘That was a big mistake of Saliba and Ben White – they didn’t communicate properly and they conceded because of it. Their positioning was poor.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
White and Saliba did not defend well in that game, but we also lacked a cutting edge upfront.
If we had it, we could have outscored them and still won that match.
We must do better to take our chances, or we will pay in many matches this season.
Hopefully, White and Saliba will spend some time learning from the mistakes and do better when they get another opportunity.

NO NO NO, it was Lakongas fault, Var, or Piers Morgans, surely!!!!!!!🙃
Agree
OT: Have you guys heard latest news, premiere league ref Lee Marson that was in charge of VAR in utd vs Arsenal has been dropped for this weekend’s fixture….
Some of you saying we were not robbed should explain the reason why the ref is dropped from this weekend fixture…..
Shame on England officials and their poor officiating….
My mistake, the ref was in charge of Newcastle vs crystal palace game
Referees in Algéria are better than these….
They didn’t get any cover from our midfielders, especially d defensive midfield. Partey was doing well in dat area b4 his injury
Can you explain to me how you do concede a goal on the counter when you’r DRAWING away from home….As for the third goal Gallas is right:This high line Can only be played in stoppage time not with 16 minutes to go….All in all a learning curve valable for such a young team
