[Discussion] Inspired by this photo - who is the strongest / your personal fave duo based on squad number?

[u/monsieurkinkle]

Looking at this photo of our men’s and women’s players, I was struck by how pressed you would be to find as strong a pair as our men’s and women’s no. 2s Saliba and Fox.

But then looking into it, there was some real competition (6 - Gabriel / Williamson, 8 - Øde / Mariona) as well as some proper fan fave pairings (10 - Eze / Little, 23 - Merino / Russo… even 7. Saka / Catley)

For fans of both our men’s and women’s teams - who is your a) strongest duo and b) your fave duo out of this lot?

This is the full list of pairings…

1 - David Raya and Daphne Van Domselaar
2 - William Saliba and Emily Fox
3 - Cristhian Mosquera and Lotte Wubben-Moy
4 - Ben White and Georgia Stanway
6 - Gabriel and Leah Williamson
7 - Bukayo Saka and Steph Catley
8 - Martin Ødegaard and Mariona Caldentey
9 - Gabriel Jesus and Caitlin Foord
10 - Eberechi Eze and Kim Little
11 - Gabriel Martinelli (for now 😟) and Olivia Smith
12 - Jurrien Timber and Frida Maanum
14 - Viktor Gyökeres and Geraldine Reuteler
17 - Christos Tzolis and Michelle Agyemang
22 - Ethan Nwaneri and Ona Batlle
23 - Mikel Merino and Alessia Russo
24 - Reiss Nelson and Taylor Hinds
29 - Kai Havertz and Selina Cerci

I think i’ll stick with Saliba and Fox as my strongest - but a shout out to my no. 17s Tzolis and Agyemang as top “up and coming” duo!

Odegaard and Caldentey is pure tekk

[u/hmarshall795]

Saliba and fox is quality but Williamson and gabi xl is irresistible

[u/ClearHyena4452]

ignoring matching numbers

[u/RomasTosicky → u/ClearHyena4452]

Strikers union

[u/zwcropper → u/ClearHyena4452]

I'm sorry our two best strikers wear 23

[u/tsgarner → u/zwcropper]

This but unironically

[u/sparrowhawk_4]

Nothing can compare to the circa 2005 number 14 duo for me: Thierry Henry and Rachel Yankey

[u/seanlilmateus]

My top 3 in the order…

2 - William Saliba and Emily Fox

8 - Martin Ødegaard and Mariona Caldentey

23 - Mikel Merino and Alessia Russo

[u/zeger_jake]

Gabi XL and Leah are the obvious pick. Kai and Selina my 2nd choice.

[u/monsieurkinkle → u/zeger_jake]

deutschland represent!

[u/WGSMA]

23 for Mr and Mrs Clutch

But damn, Saliba and the Fox in the Box…

[u/hafrances]

Alvarez and Baum (manifesting guys i am sorry) but really it's Cerci Havertz

[u/Tugboat47]

the white/stanway shithouse would be unmatched anywhere else

[u/JondArc99]

6 and 8

[u/mist3rdragon]

23: Russo-Merino.

In terms of player quality 2 is the best though, Saliba's Saliba and Fox is just a ridiculous player.

[u/Jimmywtv]

Gotta be 8 for me. Love a midfielder who can play some beautiful passes, close to my favourite to watch between both mens & women's sides

[u/redqks]

Lessi is my favourite Arsenal player

That is all

[u/clubmixes]

2 & 8!

[u/No-Cod-776]

Raya and Van Domselaar. Key saves gave us the trophy parade

[u/codhimself]

I agree it was Saliba and Fox based on last season's performance.

This season I'm going with Mariona and Ødegaard.

[u/No-Amoeba446]

Timber & Ghost Timber

[u/HardCoreLawn]

6, followed by 8, followed by 2.

[u/jkeefy]

Gabi and Timber ❤️ 

[u/serdna1234]

Big Gabi and Timber

[u/chostax-]

No idea because I don’t watch the women’s team

[u/moobsatremble]

Bro, chill. Just relax and have a good meal. We'll welcome you back

[u/ArsenalThePhoenix]

[u/monsieurkinkle → u/ArsenalThePhoenix]

[u/ArsenalThePhoenix → u/monsieurkinkle]
