Arsenal have a pretty good defence when everyone is fit. Koscielny and Vermaelen were great today, especially Koscielny. Koscielny has excellent awareness and positioning, he reads a pass very early, if he has addressed his physical aspect then he can be one of the best defenders in the league.
Btw Arsenal conceded the fewest goals from open play last year, all while our best center back was injured.
It's not quite as obvious and simple as people make out. We need another center back both to add depth and to address the weakness and set-pieces.
