Rock solid. He looks happy to stay.

Barnes was pissing the fuck off, backing in Mustafi and then folding over like he was shot in the head.

Mustafi dominating. Back to the mustafi where we hardly conceded and went unbeaten our first 13 matches with him playing.

He is a quality CB and I hope he stays.
Itā€™s been a long time since we had two top class CBā€™s who seem to play well together.

Mustafi rediscovering his form when he first joined us, letā€™s hope itā€™s here to stay.

In the five PL games that Laurent Koscielny, Shkodran Mustafi & Nacho Monreal have started together this season, Arsenal have conceded zero goals.

With Mustafi this season: 7 games, 1 goal conceded. Without Mustafi: 6 games, 15 goals conceded.

So Mustafi was spared the indignity of playing vs Liverpool and City :yum:

As good as he has been in the last two games, the one memory that I have is that sliding tackle he made against Burnley to block a shot on goal, where he basically put his body on the line. Any other Arsenal defender would have just stood and put out a weak leg in the general direction of the shot, knowing well enough that it wonā€™t make a difference, but not Mustafi, not in that instance. He made sure he slid full length on the pitch to get to the shot and present his whole body as a target, John Terrysque. Was awesome to see an Arsenal defender take such pride in keeping a clean sheet.

Did the same against Kane in the spurs game.

@JakeyBoy good point, but thereā€™s a chance if he had been in the team and heā€™d have played like he did against spurs and Burnley that maybe we wouldnā€™t have lost so badly.

There is a chance, granted.

Just goes to show the superficiality of such stats though, they donā€™t mean much unless you actually examine which teams are faced in each sequence of results, and the circumstances under which the matches were played.

And last season we were undefeated in Mustafiā€™s 22 first games or something

ofcourse he faked it.
There was nothing in that whole event for him to be injured.

He could have easily passed the ball to Kos, or Cech.
Then made the wrong and difficult decision.

Really poor behaviour from him. Knew he was at fault so he decided to get out of the pitch.

Maybe this is why wenger was trying to sell the fucker in the summer and we were all thinking what the fuck are you playing at. He probably saw in training or something that he has major issues as a player.

People change minds pretty quickā€¦
A week ago we said we hadnā€™t lost a number of games when he started.
Today, he is the asshole.

not a change of mind, just a statement all i was saying is if there is nothing genuinely wrong with him and he put that performance in then cried wolf to be subbed instead of being a man and helping the team then he hasnt got the fight for it and he should have genuinely being sold and wenger probably did see something bad in him.

Performance wise, he was at fault, no doubt.
For the behind the scene stuffs, better wait longer and see.

Maybe he was really injuredā€¦
