Deeney: This Arsenal is only worse than the Arsenal in the unbeaten season, Sakatimbo can enter the starting lineup that year

November 23 Former Premier League star Deeney recently accepted an interview with talkSPORT. He said that only the Arsenal lineup in the unbeaten season was stronger than the current Arsenal.

Deeney said: "Henry, Pires, Bergkamp... that is really an incredible team. I would rank the current Arsenal second, I think this is a very, very good Arsenal. In the later period, Wenger's team had great players, but I don't think they called it It was a great team, they were just trying to fight for four at that time, weren't they? I have to rank the current Arsenal team second."

Deeney mentioned the midfield combination of Gilberto Silva and Vieira, who led Arsenal to win the Premier League title that season. Although neither is a versatile midfielder who can both make key tackles and get forward into the box to help create chances, Deeney would still choose them over Rice or Suvimendi.

Dini said: "Would you replace either of them with Rice? It's difficult for me to make such a choice."

Although the partnership of Saliba and Gabriel is very good, Deeney also believes that they are not as good as Sol Campbell and Kolo Toure. The same can be said for Ashley Cole and Lehmann, who served as Arsenal's left-back and goalkeeper during the unbeaten season.

Deeney also rejected the possibility of Trossard or Martinelli replacing left winger Pires. As for the forward position, players like Jokeres cannot shake the position of Bergkamp or Henry.

But on the right, Deeney made some concessions, believing that some of Arsenal's current stars might be able to start in Arsenal's undefeated season. He said: "Maybe I can reluctantly replace Ljungberg with Saka, and I will choose Timber instead of Laurent."

"This is difficult, because the undefeated Arsenal was too strong, but this is not a disrespect to the current Arsenal."

Ljungberg and Laurent served as right midfielder and right back respectively. In that championship season, Ljungberg scored 4 goals and sent 5 assists, while Laurent only contributed 1 assist.
