OPTA wrote an article listing data. After the start of the new season, Arsenal defender Timber has become a strong contender for the best right-back in the Premier League with his dominant performance on both offense and defense. He can even be said to be the well-deserved first person in this position in the Premier League.
According to statistics, Timber is the player who has created the most opportunities in sports games (8 times) and touched the opponent's penalty area (24 times) among all the full-backs in the Premier League this season, and is the only full-back who has won a penalty kick. Under the tactical system of coach Arteta, his right side contributed 39% of the team's offense, which ranks third in the league.
Timber's strength is that he is not "attacking strong and defending weak". On the defensive end, his statistics are equally good. He completed 25 tackles, ranked second among all fullbacks, and has an amazing tackle success rate of up to 86.2%, and has only been dribbled by his opponents so far so far.
It is this all-round attribute that both offense and defense that makes Timber stand out from the competition with other top right backs. In contrast, former Liverpool player Arnold's defense has been criticized, while Rees James is plagued by injuries, while Polo's ability to do without the ball still needs to be improved. Therefore, based on the current performance this season, Timber is undoubtedly the best player in the same position as the Premier League.
