Gabriel Agbonlahor has said that Arsenal central defender Gabriel has a mistake in him.

The former Aston Villa striker has suggested on talkSPORT that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta simply cannot trust the £27 million (Sky Sports) Brazilian defender.

Agbonlahor made the comment about Gabriel while looking ahead to the Premier League game between Manchester City and Arsenal on Wednesday evening.

A defeat for the Gunners could prove costly in their quest to win the Premier League title this season ahead of defending champions City.

HITC Verdict: Staying positive

In our view, Arsenal fans should stay positive about Gabriel and should not be too critical of him.

Yes, the Brazilian does make mistakes from time to time, but he is still developing and progressing as a player.

Gabriel has improved a lot under manager Mikel Arteta in recent years, and we believe that he will continue to get better.

Now, of course, the Brazilian should do his best to cut out the mistakes that he makes, but all footballers do make errors.

Just look at Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk this season.

Even the Netherlands international is making mistakes.
