I would say Evra is at the same level with Clichy and Sagna. All are world class full backs.
But as far as full back
pairings go, no team comes close to Arsenal's imo.
Clichy and Sagna are great defensively but also constant threats up front. They've played a part in so many of our goals this season. Both goals against ManU for example. First one assisted by Sagna, second by Clichy.
ManU's back four is obviously great, but so is ours.
Evra-Rio-Vidic-Neville/Brown
vs.
Clichy-Kolo-Gallas-Sagna
It's a tough choice between those back fours (you know who I'd pick though
).
To reiterate my point, being a good defender to me isn't just about conceding less goals. Arsenal's famous back four conceded very few goals (and they're legends), but overall I think our current back four is even better.
Quick, technical, work both ways. They do it all.
