My opinion on this is that our defense is better than last season. It’s certainly a step in the right direction and I feel we are much more solid at the back. Wojciech’s performances are encouraging, while Vermaelen and Koscielny are forming a good partnership. I still think we are a bit short in the center though, and one more player would be welcome. We also need a left back, Kieran Gibbs is far too injury prone to rely on and Armand Traore hasn’t convinced me he’s a good back up. Moving Vermaelen to the left is a waste and is considerably weakening our center, so one more addition on the left would be nice. Sagna and Jenkinson are doing alright at right back so I have no complaints there.
