Clichy backing for Senderos
by Laurent Picard, 29 April 2008
Gael Clichy has thrown his support behind beleaguered centre back Philippe Senderos during an exclusive interview to setantasports.com.
Senderos has been criticised following a number of disappointing performances this season, but his team-mate Clichy does not want the fans to judge the Swiss international on ‘a couple of mistakes’.
The left back says Arsenal have good enough centre backs but Arsene Wenger is the one who will decide if defensive reinforcements are required.

“I think with William (Gallas), Kolo (Toure), Philippe (Senderos) and Johan Djourou we’ve got some great centre backs,” Clichy told setantasports.com.
“And once again when you make mistakes people are talking about you.
“That’s a shame for Philippe because this game, away at Liverpool, was a big game, he made mistakes, of course. But I’ve made mistakes as well, everyone makes mistakes and you cannot just judge a player on one game.
“Philippe has been there for five years now and he has done well.
“He’s the one who replaced Sol Campbell for many months, and Sol Campbell is one of the best centre backs.
“So that means the guy has qualities and you cannot deny that.
“You have to take your responsibilities and that is what he has done against Liverpool.
“I think with all the players we have got, with Alex Song, we’ve got enough quality.
“Once again it’s up to the boss to decide if we need more players or not.”
