Love this man!
His ambitious passes too. With Xhaka and Kos. That's something I've wanted to see for some time. Only Barcelona and Bayern have as many deeplying passers as us.Away to Burnley and away to Man Utd are his two best performances for us IMO. He absolutely came to the fore and won every duel. He's so well rounded. Strong, quick, reads the game well and is a great tackler. He's had a few rash moments but what CB on this planet doesn't? Plus, he's only 24 .
Outstanding signing. Outstanding player.
Honestly it is scary how good our CB duo is at playing the ball. I bet somewhere deep inside Wenger wishes he could have all of the outfield players rotate in and out of the attack. It would be a nightmare to defend against haha...His ambitious passes too. With Xhaka and Kos. That's something I've wanted to see for some time.

Yeah to an extent but our CBs only very rarely participate. Imagine if our team was completely fluid. That would be the ultimate football.Its already happening. One or two more transfer windows and we will witness wengerball fully again. Question is will he remain

I think they just have different strengths in this regard. Kos is very good with over-the-top balls whereas Mustafi is sublime with the passes in between the lines. They complement each other very well in the passing department.Yeah I don't think both of their passing is that great, at least when compared to someone like Van Dijk or Alderweireld. Mustafi for instance is great at treading it in-between the lines and he regularly finds Özil; I wouldn't be surprised if he does have a few pre-assists. His limitations however are laid bare when he tries to send it over the top.
I think Kosceilny's passing is a little overated, once he gets one good one in he keeps on forcing it until he gives the ball away in a bad area. Top defender but his passing is not on mustafi's level.
