I don't even remember Senderos or Djourou being as bad as Mustafi. Surely the worst Arsenal defender ever.

Mustafi is a complete joke.


Unbelievable ...... and he looks so f***&& stupid in the aftermath .

If Mikel persevers with those two clowns I'd be rethinking my loyalty

6 - 0 revisited could be on the cards .


Every time he plays, he looks as if he’s going to make a massive cockup any second. Just not good enough mentally

Tell you how bad I think he is; I’d rather Cygan than him

Described by someone a while ago as being an exploding clown car. Certainly doing nothing to disprove that. Just dreadful. Certainly worse than Stepanovs and he was pretty dire.

Why play Mustafi, a player who knows he is on borrowed time at Arsenal? His heart is not in it.
Özil is ineffective, takes too much time on the ball. Same goes with Pépé.

Wish more would play like Torreira, Saka and Martinelli.

Statement of the obvious, but we have no creativity and offer no threat (a well as having a joke defence).

The only hope is that Martinelli does something special individually again. Pépé still not looking like a £72m player unfortunately.

It is Mustafis fault and god knows he’s hopeless but our defence is always under constant pressure because we as a team are unable to move the ball up the pitch or retain possession. It doesn’t help.

This is a full blown crisis again. We’ll be 12th and a couple of wins off relegation again with Luiz serving a 3 match ban.

Luiz 3 match ban is a blessing. A useless member of them at CB.


Agree, he is too casual and slow. He has reverted to his lackadaisical style.

Are you too young to remember Gus Caesar, Granty?

Gus Caesar or Mustafi?

Luiz's attempt to clear the ball is ludicrous, such a stupid challenge. So clearly a foul rather than an attempt to defend.

Pépé is not even looking like a player. He is such a whiner. Play on, instead of "putting hand on head" after every miss, or "appeal for a foul" when you lose the ball. Giroud used to do that too.

Agree on Pépé, he’s very sadly starting to move into potential flop territory for me. Apart from anything else he’s apparently suited to a counterattacking style of play, a style we aren’t aiming for. Although in his defence (I wish we had one) we’ve not got near a recognisable style of play since forever.

If he takes Martinelli off and leaves Özil on I will be dismayed. Get Özil off and at least leave us with some pace up top on the break.

Pépé has amazingly quick feet and dribbling ability but he just isn't able to impose himself on a game.

Ceballos for Özil, Holding for Xhaka

Because we give him the ball on the halfway line and he has ZERO supporting runs or people making themselves available so he has to beat 7 players to get to the goal.

Where are our midfielders trying to place that killer Freddie ljungberg type pass between centre half and fullback. We can’t play football full stop

It's going to be difficult getting a goal from open play. We need force corners and free kicks as close as possible to try to score from dead ball sets.

Does Pépé actually have any pace?

Leopards never change their spots. Terrible back pass from Mustafi. But the decision making by Luis in fouling and being sent off shows that he is not and never will be good enough. Lazy defending by both but I am even more annoyed with Luis because Mustafi I expect mistakes.

But in the first 25 minutes we did not turn up again. Where is the much lauded change. Arteta was out outhought by Lampard from moment one. You never know we still might pinch one but this game has said a lot to me about Pépé, Lacazette, Luis, Xhaka and Mustafi. A number of them are just not motivated - Mustafi is mentally blown.

Post subject:  Re: Supporters Forum

With all the possession Chelsea have I still feel they’ll get a good enough chance and probably win the game but the character with 10 men has been good. Xhaka has played very well at CB and every player seems to have upped their level and concentration since going down to 10

Author:  AmericanGooner [ Tue Jan 21, 2020 9:41 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Supporters Forum

If he gets within 35 yards or less, Xhaka should put that booming shot to some use.

Perhaps he can double it. He is the only threat that we have.

I'd have to agree. Can't fault the attitude.

Why the FBI are we letting Willian get a shot off so close to goal?
