I do think our perception of a lot of Wenger era defenders is warped by what our playstyle was, which was basically “everyone bomb forward and leave the defenders completely fucking helpless”, unless you were exceptional at defending you looked clueless in a Wenger team
My personal vote goes for Djourou and Senderos pairing. This pair was a defensive calamity in almost every matches.
