CM: Patrick Vieira
What can be said about Patrick Vieira? He captained Arsenal to their Invincible season. That right there is enough in and of itself. But so much more has to be said to give Vieira the credit he is due. Aside from being the captain of the Invincibles, Vieira is also the only player that is still being missed to this very day.
For the past decade, Arsenal has been in dire need of added physicality in the base of the midfield. Patrick Vieira held down that spot next to Gilberto Silva. He was a monster and a marauder on the pitch. In a good way. Arsenal has been unable to replicate that success for the past ten years. Francis Coquelin is starting to help us overcome but Coquelin has yet to develop any sort of offensive relevance, which Vieira had.
You really don’t get someone who embodied the spirit of the team at the time more than Vieira did Arsenal. He was the first signing Arsene Wenger made, as he was signed right as Le Prof joined Arsenal. He was the physical base that made Arsenal such a domineering menace. Arsenal was actually criticized for being too physical back in the day. Imagine that.
Next up, we get into the attack.
