He has the potential that everyone is not recognizing, so I won’t be shocked if he finally joins the list of the Top 30 Balon d’ior contenders for the upcoming season. Arne Slot, the manager of Liverpool is the ONE Arsenal player that this season, everyone should keep an eye on: Not Havertz, Not Saliba
On Saturday, Arsenal defeated Tottenham in a match that was primarily characterized by players off the field.
In fact, a lot of the build-up to this game revolved about the players who weren’t playing—Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, and Yves Bissouma, for example—rather than the guys who were.
Nonetheless, many of the game’s outstanding players were given the praise they deserved in the aftermath, with Arsenal’s defense naturally taking center stage.
Huge congratulations were given to Gabriel Magalhaes after his game-winning goal, while William Saliba continued to be imperious as always.
But Jurrien Timber has received further recognition from Tony Cascarino, who said on The Game Football Podcast that the player was excellent against Tottenham and gave Arsenal his greatest performance to far.
With Tottenham, Jurrien Timber played his best game to date.
Cascarino gave his assessment of Timber’s performance.
“This was a classic case; defensively, Arsenal outperformed Tottenham as well. “You look at White, Saliba, Gabriel, and Timber, who I thought played really well. I thought Timber was really solid, and it was probably his best game wearing an Arsenal shirt,” Cascarino remarked.
Jurrien Timber is returning to his peak performance.
Due to injuries, Jurrien Timber hasn’t participated in many games for Arsenal, but he is finally returning to full strength.
The Dutchman was outstanding against Tottenham this past weekend, and he is starting to find his rhythm for Arsenal again.
It’s frightening to note that Timber isn’t even a natural left-back, and Brennan Johnson was unable to generate any momentum down that right flank.
Timber was a huge loss for Arsenal last season, even though they didn’t realize it at the time. If he can avoid injuries this season, he can prove to be one of the league’s top defensive players.
Over the weekend, Timber played perhaps his greatest game for Arsenal, and that provides a solid base upon which to go moving forward.
