#1 Konstantinos Mavropanos' potential
Every time Mavropanos touched the ball or made a tackle, applauses rose around the stadium. It was only his second appearance in the Premier League and the first one was against United at Old Trafford.
Trending
In an Arsenal era marked by defensive errors, he is seen as a glimmer of hope by the fans. In a Premier League age, when titles are lost by defensive frailty, he is seen as a savior of their dreams.
He was a calm presence in the back for Arsenal, tall and strong and showcased exceptional aerial prowess. So often have we seen Arsenal defenders being bullied by the physical opposition. So often have we seen them concede from a set piece or a high ball. Mavropanos might just be the solution.
The young Greek center-back showed toughness and tenacity. He had the ambition that was lacking in the Arsenal defense for a long time. He tried some audaciously long through-balls and even rushed forward when presented with an opportunity.
He is comfortable on the ball, he is talented, he has the fans behind him, Mavropanos might be the answer to Arsenal's defensive woes.
