But the team is currently on a 10-match unbeaten run it’s mostly thanks to a tight defence.Left-back Nuno Tavares claims that improved record comes as a natural consequence of the team’s deep desire to protect their net.”The whole team likes to defend. We are being aggressive with every ball and we don’t like conceding goals. That’s the key to defending well.”Nuno Tavares, 21Kieran Tierney, 24Arsenal are set at Left-Back for a decade. pic.twitter.com/wdLGau0GmN— AfcVIP⁴⁹ (@VipArsenal) November 12, 2021 The young Portuguese is annoyed that all of the sudden people act surprised that the Gunners are doing well – despite a dismal start to the season. The former Benfica defender told Sky Sports that everyone should consider his team one of the best in the league.”Arsenal is a big club with big players. It is normal for us to win games. For us, we want to be in the top one. I don’t know why people are so surprised. People need to understand we are Arsenal and we need to win games to reach our objectives.”Saturday, 20.30: (1.53) Liverpool (4.40) Arsenal (6.75)The back four consisting of Tavares, Ben White, Gabriel and Takehiro Tomiyasu, reinforced by goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is obviously passionate about getting the tackles and clearances in.
