Mathieu Debuchy and Kieran Gibbs
The forgotten ones. It is a rough life when you are sitting behind the best full back pair in the world. Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal have combined to essentially erase Gibbs and Debuchy from our minds. But that does not erase the quality that is in our back ups on defense.

Mathieu Debuchy may be rusty but he is still the starting right back on the French National side. At least he normally is. He was supposed to be the starting right back for Arsenal but he got caught behind the improbable rise to prominence that is Hector Bellerin.
The only problem that we may run into is if Debuchy has already written his Arsenal career off. He may be looking for an out. As such, inspiration may be lacking.
Inspiration is never lacking from Gibbs, however. The once stud-to-be has faded into the shadow of Nacho Monreal. But that does not stop his dedication to Arsenal. He will still use every opportunity imaginable to try to win back the spot that used to be saved for him.
