Shkodran Mustafi: Cack On Top

[nick gould]

The boy is bossing it. He defends with so much enthusiasm. If you guys could stop listening to pundits you would realise how good he is. Of course he has the mistake in him but we can’t forget all the good things he does. He is in the top 4 of for cleared headers along with the giant centre backs.

 

[krackpot]

Was awesome today

 

[ThlRama]

Did anybody see today why he is a good CB? Crispy passing, and so safe and effective bringing the ball forward.

 

[Aevi]

Absolutely brilliant today, has to be said. When he's on it, he's really, really good.

 

[El Duderino]

Credit where it's due. He had a good game against Liverpool.

His problem will always be brainfarts, regardless of how well he's doing you always have that feeling that he'll throw the game.

 

[NieThePiet]

Such a strange defender.

One time he gives you a worldie performance and next game he will make another stupid challenge or error leading to a goal.

 

[Notorious Big]

Great today.Probably best match since that Chelsea win in 2016.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Absolutely superb performance. He made some fantastically timed last ditch tackles that killed some dangerous Liverpool counters.

If he could cut the bewildering mistakes out he’d genuinely be a top CB.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Why he not performing like this every game?

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

It wasn't that good, they constantly targeted him and on another day Van Djik would have got two goals.

To many errors, not enough focus. Hopefully we improve on him in the summer.

 

[TheArsenalis]

Did not want to play for Wenger. Right now absolute beast and I'm proud of him. No body make more headed clearance than him. Blocks and what not. And **** every pundit in the world

 

[pikey2000]

Credit where credits due, solid performance tonight.

 

[Impact]

He was good today. Still need to improve on him if we want to achieve top honours. But credit where credit is due, he was tenacious today.

Yeah agreed, he was better in the 2nd half though, same with Kolasinac.

 

[WilshereGone]

Why he not performing like this every game?

Because that's what separates the great CBs from the decent ones imo.

 

[Sungod]

Why he not performing like this every game?

Leno at back and geniune Defensive mid Lucas with Emery coaching are improving him.

Don't forget his kid is now 1.5 year old. I have seen regular folks struggle in first year of kids.

So one good game, and suddenly everyone who doubted him are misled peope, listening to pundits. Why is this kind of post necessary?

 

[razörist]

Stat merchant this guy. At one point it looked like there were two of him, he won that many headers/cleared that many balls. Wish he did not have those braindead moments so often, could be solid next to an experienced head.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

**** me he was immense both defensively and on the ball kept breaking the lines.

 

[Makingtrax]

He was excellent yesterday.

Interestingly though Keown and Ferdinand, although praising him, both blamed him for allowing Mane to put the cross in for Liverpool’s goal. Bellerin couldn’t get back and so Mustafi should have gone across to cover behind.
