Arsenal defence: Is Gunners' record-breaking back four best in Premier League history?

Arsenal's back four has been on a tear, conceding just five goals in 11 matches so far this season. The team's defensive record is impressive, with nearly a third of the way through the campaign, they are conceding 0.45 goals per game - a rate that would see them concede 17 goals over the remainder of the 38-game season. This is comparable to Chelsea's 2004-05 title-winning side, which conceded just 15 goals all season.

Arsenal's backline has been compared to some of the best defensive units in Premier League history, including Liverpool's 2018-19 side and Manchester City's 2018-19 team. However, there is still one glaring omission - trophies. While Arsenal have not yet claimed any silverware this season, they are well-positioned to win the league title.

But what does it take for a defence to be considered the best in Premier League history? Does it matter how many clean sheets you keep or how few goals you concede? The answer is subjective and depends on individual perspectives. Some may argue that a team's overall consistency and ability to perform under pressure are more important than just numbers.

Ultimately, Arsenal's back four has been excellent this season, but whether they can be considered the best in Premier League history remains to be seen. Only time will tell if they can add some silverware to their resume and secure their place among the all-time greats of the beautiful game.
 
Arsenal's defense is looking 🔒 solid right now 🤩, conceding just 5 goals in 11 matches... that's crazy! They're playing like a team from the 2010s, when they had some of the best defenses in Premier League history 🙌. But you know what? trophies are what matter 💎. If they can't even win a trophy this season, do we really think they're better than some other great teams? 🤔 I mean, Liverpool's 2018-19 side was 🔥 hot, and Manchester City's team that year was so clinical in front of goal 🙌. But you know what? it's all subjective 😂. Can't wait to see how the rest of the season plays out... will they pull off some silverware or fall short? Only time (and a few more matches) will tell 🕰️
 
I think its crazy how much hype is around Arsenal's defense right now 🤯. They're having an amazing season, but I don't know if 5 goals in 11 matches is enough to put them in the same bracket as those legendary teams mentioned earlier. I mean, Liverpool and City were playing with a totally different style back then, but still... I love watching them play though 💪! The key is whether they can keep this level of performance going for the whole season. Can they win the league title? Yeah, they've got a good chance 🏆
 
I'm loving how well Arsenal's back four is doing this season 🤩, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Conceding just 5 goals in 11 matches is crazy, but it's one thing to shut out opponents, another to win trophies 🏆. What makes a defense truly great? Is it the number of clean sheets or the number of wins? I think it's about consistency and performance under pressure - if you can keep your cool when it matters most, that's what separates the champions from the rest 💪. But until Arsenal adds some silverware to their collection, we'll just have to wait and see if they're really the best defense in Premier League history ⏰.
 
I'm loving how solid Arsenal's defense has been so far! 🙌 They're really living up to the hype, and it's crazy to think they could end up with a title win. But, gotta ask... what's the criteria for calling a defense the best in Premier League history? Is it just about goals conceded per game or is there more to it? I mean, Liverpool's '18-'19 side was absolute steel but didn't win anything that season, and City's team from the same period was on fire but had some major inconsistencies. Let's see how Arsenal finish the season... will they be able to back up their impressive form with some silverware? 🤔
 
I'm loving how solid Arsenal's back four has been this season 🙌, but you know what was even more impressive? The 2003-04 Arsenal team that won the Treble! They conceded just 15 goals in 38 games and never looked out of breath 😂. Now, I'm not saying they're on the same level as the Invincibles (no offense, mate 😉), but it's hard to compare teams from different eras.

I mean, what does it even matter if they concede 0.45 goals per game? It's all about how you respond when things go wrong, right? Remember when Manchester United won the league in '99 and had a crazy patch of form where they lost 5 games straight 🤯? They still managed to win the title because of their consistency and teamwork.

Anyway, I'm excited to see if Arsenal can back up their impressive form with some silverware. It's always special when teams can string together wins and make history 🔥🏆
 
I think its crazy how much hype Arsenal's defense is getting 🤯! 5 goals in 11 matches? That's not even a fluke, they're actually doing something special here 💪. But at the same time, you can't help but feel like there's gotta be more to it than just numbers on a board ⚖️. I mean, is having a solid defense really enough to put them in the conversation for being one of the greatest defenses in Premier League history? Or does it take that extra little something – maybe a title win or two – to cement their legacy? 🤔
 
So I've been thinking about Arsenal's defense lately... 😊 They're definitely on fire, conceding just 5 goals in 11 matches is crazy! But what really gets me is how they compare to other historic teams. The 2018-19 Liverpool and City teams are usually brought up, but you can't ignore their impressive trophy hauls.

What's the real metric for a great defense? Is it just about not conceding goals or keeping clean sheets? I think it's more about consistency under pressure. Can they perform when it matters most? Like, have you seen Arsenal play in big games recently? They seem to hold their own, but can they close out wins?

I'm all for acknowledging great defensive performances, but trophies are what make a team truly legendary. Has anyone else thought about this? Should we be measuring defense by clean sheets alone or is there more to it?
 
I think people are being way too generous with Arsenal's defence 🤔... don't get me wrong, they're doing well but 17 goals conceded over the rest of the season is still a big number. I mean, if you're conceding that many goals, it's only a matter of time before your team starts to struggle. And what about the clean sheets? How many are they keeping? A good defence isn't just about not conceding but also being able to deal with set pieces and crosses... Arsenal seem to be struggling with that aspect 🤦‍♂️. I think you need more than just a solid backline to win trophies, you need team spirit and cohesion... and so far, I'm not seeing that from Arsenal 💔
 
omg gotta say i'm loving arsenal's defense rn 🤩👀 it's like they're almost untouchable out there! 5 goals in 11 matches is insane, but i mean, stats don't lie, right? 😂 and yeah, comparin' them to some of the all-time greats like liverpool's 18-19 team and man city's 18-19 squad is no joke. but at the same time, trophies matter, you know? can they win the league title this season? that'd be 🏆🎉 but for real tho, i think it's cool how people are debating whether a defense is considered the best in premier league history. it's like, does it really matter if you keep 10 clean sheets or only concede 15 goals? isn't it about performin under pressure and all that? 🤔 guess we'll just have to wait & see what arsenal does next season 👀👊
 
🤔 The thing is, their stats are insane but what about the games they've actually won? Like, have they been carrying teams to wins with that backline or just dominating them? 🏆 It's one thing to not concede many goals and another to be able to outmaneuver your opponents on the pitch. I'd love to see some analysis on how their defense has helped (or hindered) their overall team performance... 💡 maybe a graph of clean sheets vs wins? 📊
 
I mean what's up with these defensive records? 5 goals in 11 matches is crazy, like, where was that other team at last season? People are hating on Arsenal for not having any trophies yet, but let's be real, they're killing it defensively. I think it's about consistency and being able to perform under pressure, not just stats on a sheet 📊. If they can keep this up, win the league, and maybe even a cup or two, then they can say they've got one of the best defenses in Premier League history 🔒.
 
OMG, I'm literally so hyped about Arsenal's defense right now 🤩! They're killing it, conceding so few goals already... like, only 5 in 11 matches? That's insane! I mean, Chelsea back in 05 was decent, but this team is on another level. And can we talk about how well they've been doing under pressure? Like, no easy wins or anything, just solid performances every time out 🙌. But, idk... do you think it matters what stats say if the team isn't winning any trophies? Shouldn't it be about more than just not conceding goals? Maybe consistency and performing well in big games are key? Not sure, but I'm loving the excitement around this team's season 🤔. Can we get them a trophy soon pls? 🏆
 
I'm loving how solid Arsenal's defense has been so far! 🙌 They're really making a statement this season, but you know what's missing... trophies 🏆 I mean, they're on top of the league table, but can they back it up with some silverware? It's not just about clean sheets and goals conceded, it's about consistency under pressure. Liverpool's 2018-19 side was incredible at keeping a clean sheet, but they won the Champions League that season! 🏆 Does Arsenal have what it takes to take home that trophy? Time will tell, I guess 😐
