I'll actually be pretty happy if we go into next season with Gabriel, Mari, Holding and Saliba as our centre-back options.

Gabriel was player of the month for September and October
Leno was player of the month for November
That was Nov 2019. Gabriel won Nov 2020 and made it three in a row:

Oh yes I’m sorry mate
You are right
I thought November was Leno but I was wrong

There was a time when it appeared as though the likes of Didier Drogba and Diego Costa would be lent up against the Emirates waiting for Laurent Koscielny to emerge, give him two slaps for having made them wait before taking his wallet, new watch and trainers, the last contact of which came from the foot up the arse the naturalised Spaniard delivered in his new footwear as he told him to 'Now f**k off, and don't be late next time, comprende?'

Now, my re-imagining of that scenario with Gabriel Magalhaes, pans onto the sight of an unconscious Costa being pulled from the car windshield he'd been slammed through and now being tossed over the big Brazilian's shoulder as he grabs a leg of a sprawled out, bloodied, groaning Drogba now being dragged to the boot of his car and upon opening it, the Arsenal centre half being heard to mutter 'My dogs' gotta eat too'.

Yes, maybe I have watched one too many Tarantino films, but in having endured for far too long the sight of Arsenal defenders themselves re-enacting the part of Marcelo Wallace strapped to a jig in Pulp Fiction, it kind of fits the bill.

That Gabriel is more than just a brute in football boots there is no doubt given he has already shown the ability to be sublimely skillful on the ball and use it intelligently, with some of those 60/70M pinged deliveries he has coughed up on occasion lending weight to his 3 consecutive awardings of our player of the month.

But what really tickles my bollocks is that this guy is still on his upward trajectory and suggesting that we ain't seen nothing yet in comparison to what the pinnacle of his potential could ultimately produce.

Although admittedly to a little bit less of a degree, I do see something similar within Dino Mavropanos and yes, it has already crossed my mind that like a man in a desert who's thirst brings about a delirium to have him see a mirage, suffering from Squillachi, Djourou, Mustafi et al may have affected my senses too.

So would I, as long as Holding doesn't play any minutes and just brings on the oranges at half time.

Djourou was underrated had all the tools to become a top centre back pace, height and strength finally started to reach his potential in 10/11 but he was never the same after that injury against United

Lost out there without David Luiz’s leadership, not his fault though his partner Holding is a West Brom level defender

Was Cedric who cost the Salah goal, Gabriel wasn't great today but don't recall a shocker that led to a goal?

He made a couple of errors.
Firstly he lost out strength wise to Salah for the second goal (can happen - Salah is clever and strong), then he passed out from defence directly to a Liverpool player which set up a pretty easy pass to open us up for the 3rd.
Generally speaking his form is quite inconsistent - can be really good or quite suspect. Hopefully, he gets some consistency next season. he's shown enough to be starting for us.
