Personally, this was a bit of a surprise to me.  Young Hector Bellerin took full advantage of Debuchy’s injury-riddled first season in North London and seemed to me like the new first choice right back.  The Frenchman got the nod on the opening day of the season and he looked great.

What pace he had seemed to be back, he was surprisingly strong going forward and a non-liability in a defense that was worrisome on the day.  Wenger has since stated that Bellerin would have started had he not picked up a slight knock previously, but Debuchy’s performance will certainly given the manager something to think about.
