Hector Bellerin is one of the best right backs in all of Europe. He is absolutely electric when he goes forward and the team is far more balanced when Hector is gallivanting down the right flank. Bellerin’s lighting fast pace allows him to do utterly mind blowing things on the football pitch. Take for example his interception of David Alaba’s pass against Bayern Munich. Or his amazing chase down of Bafetimbi Gomis against Swansea. Bellerin just makes ridiculous plays all over the pitch.
Debuchy may have more experience but that seems to matter little. Against the Bavarian giants Bellerin posted a 100% pass accuracy and take on rate while grabbing three interceptions in the second half, via Squawka. When it comes right down to it, Bellerin is simply one of our best weapons and his absence makes the Gunners a much slower team both physically and mentally.
Finally, we get to the man we need back the most at number one.
