Former Arsenal striker, Thierry Henry, has questioned defender William Saliba’s defending.
He questioned the player’s attitude following the Gunners Champions League defeat to RC Lens on Tuesday.
Despite taking the lead early on Tuesday night through Gabriel Jesus, the Gunners suffered their first defeat of the season.
Two goals from Adrien Thomasson and Elye Wahi sealed a 2-1 win for the French Ligue 1 side.
Bukayo Saka was also forced off injured during the game in what would be a big blow for the north London side ahead of their game with Manchester City at the Emirates on Sunday.
Henry was particularly not impressed with Saliba’s efforts and felt the defender failed to track Lens striker into the box.
“Elye, he is special when it comes to that (finishing),” Henry told CBS Sports.
“First and foremost let’s talk about how he stayed away from Saliba. You see you don’t need to go and break your neck, Saliba will beat you to the first ball and stay in a good position between the two lines and Wahi does that, he can finish so well.
“Can we talk about Saliba? The space never scores a goal. Can you have a look at where your striker is? He never looked at where his No.9 is.
“Only the No.9 can score there. He never looks to see what Wahi does, he never looks! He never looks! You have to check your shoulder.”
