Emery just doesn't throw Mustafi under the bus on camera.
He doesn't mean it. He hates Mustafi like we do.

Said all I can say on this...individual.
Someone just confirm my hopes: He's on way too much money to be a 4th choice CB right? Meaning we are definitely selling him this summer?
...pls?
Summer ruined.Think it is easier to get rid if he is not on much money.
If only there was a club out there that bought players solely based on stats...At least he has 20 caps for Germany, that's a good selling point. Surely we could fool somebody that he is just had a poor season, but is usually very good.
“I have spoken to him: ‘You are young, you can improve and you need also to work hard because you have a big quality for a centre-back.’
"When we have only two, if you lose the anticipation, there is only one behind. That is happening a lot with Mustafi, but I want him not every time to do the tackle on the ground.
“When we use three centre backs, we protect them more,” he said. “You can anticipate, and you can lose one [tackle] but we have two who are covering.
"You have to be clever in your mind about what is the moment to go (to ground) and what is not the moment, but that is part of the process.
“He is young, he is improving and Sunday he is in the big picture because of the second goal. Who is in this picture? Mustafi – but it's not his mistake.
Very good observation. Think that describes him perfectly.The stats are so blurred because Mustafi is actually quite good in many things and has a lot of decisive moments because he rushes into it constantly.
But that's also his biggest flaw. He's like a poker player who goes all in every single time.
You can have a good run at times, but if it goes bad, ..
He is a headless chicken.
Sounds like Emery is trying to big him up. Wouldn’t be surprised if he is offloaded in the summer.It's normal, that a coach is defending his players.
But some statements..
He is 27, he should be in his prime and he already had some years to settle in this team and league. But no sign of improvements.
Think many fans are saying this since years. We are waiting for improvements, but nothing is happening. He is still making the same errors.
In other words: Mustafi is making errors, so we need more CBs who are doing the work for him.
"You have to be clever" - yes, you have. But the true is, that some players aren't and it looks like, that Mustafi is one of them.
Three facts: He isn't young, he isn't improving and it was his mistake. Probably Emery was blaming Leno for the goal too and tomorrow Cech will play. Sorry.
These are the quotes of a youth coach on an 11 year old who just converted from striker to center back. Not a 27 year old world cup winning center back at one of the biggest clubs in the world.It's normal, that a coach is defending his players.
