[Malky]

People getting gassed because our £50M CB plays well against one of the worst attacking sides in the league. Jury's still out because thats two games he's played and the one decent striker he's come up against he was absolutely violated.

I'm wanting to see how he does against the top attackers, Kane, Ronaldo, Lukaku, Mane, Salah, etc.

We've overpaid for this kid, that we know.

But he has potential, and I am confident he will reach that with Arsenal. The key is to get the coaching and tactical work right with him. This is not a lost cause.

 

[Paperino]

I dont think this guy can be described as a kid. He will be 24 next month.

He's 12 years younger than me, so he's definitely a kid in my eyes.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Has a lot of similarities to John Stones a few years ago, although I would say Stones was/is a lot better in the air. There will be a lot of pro's/con's to this lad in the near future imo, we have to hope that we can mask his flaws (defensive awareness, areal ability) as best we can.

 

[El Duderino]

Oof.

 

[OnlyOne]

Quality, unlike him to pass it short but everyone was doing that in the team, Burnley left the grass long.

 

[El Duderino]

I don’t think he’s a bad defender, but like Pepe, his price tag will always be there.

Hopefully he’s doing a reverse Mustafi and it’ll all be fine, but he was shaky for 90% of the match.

 

[Hunta]

He’s only making it here if we play a back three, it’s as simple as that. He’s not good enough to hold his own, teams have targeted him in all 5 league games this season.

You either change formation and hide him somewhat or you turn him into another Mustafi.

 

[Tourbillion]

Rubbish defender.

 

[Mitch]

White worries me, thankfully Gabriel has been that good.

 

[AberGooner]

Hopefully a good run of games will see him improve. On the bright side we've come out of 2 poor performances from him without conceding. Kane will be another big test for him next week.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Worried tbh, the guy can't defend against direct football. You have to hope in games where he isn't up against a Toney/Barnes/Wood type he is better. I think Tomiyasu and Gabriel did as much as they could today to protect him.

Over reactions in here as usual. Second half he was brilliant defensively.

 

[razörist]

50M for this too hot to handle reject are u kidding me

Put it this way, he struggled on the ball but we all know he’s quality on the ball so I think we can ignore most of the mistakes he made today.

The issue with him is his defensive ability and he did okay in that regard no?

 

[MaraDon]

Quality.

 

[boonthegoon]

Lots of mustafi like moments on the ball but was ok defensively. Looks shot of confidence and unsettled though. Hope it's just newbie and price tag thing and he comes out of it.

He let a defender go once or twice which led to nothing, other than that he was great but because he was 50M people will get mad at him.

What's your definition of Brilliant?
