The critic said about Saliba on Sky Sports Football (9:25pm, August 5, 2022): “The first time I saw him, I was really impressed with his first game of the season.
“It looks like a physical specimen, it looks good, and it adds real strength and power to Arsenal that they lacked last season.”
“He was a real rock in the back,” Carragher added.
Excellent appearance in the English Premier League
In our view, William was a fantastic cross for Arsenal against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in London this evening.
The 21-year-old looked very mature at the back and was very strong on the ball.
He was a powerful and dominant cross, and the France international’s center back kept the Palace attackers at bay.
Saliba did not have to put in much effort in the first half of the English Premier League match.
Pressure escalated in the second half, but Saliba held out in defense and showed Arsenal fans how much he has matured and developed over the past two years.
