Mustafi isn't the worst CB we've had in terms of ability, but he must be up there as the thickest. Time and time again he makes terrible decisions, like the rash foul in injury time yesterday. Xhaka quite similar really, although it's his poor speed of thought and movement that lands him in trouble.
Hopefully Emery doesn't see these guys as the future. Along with the likes of Mhiki and Kolasinac we should be looking to move on and upgrade over the next 12-18 months.
that's what worries me, maybe he does, they always seem to be first on the teamsheetOriginally Posted by Gooner23
i wonder what the other players think, especially Holding and Socrates?
I think this season was always going to be transitional. If they're still in the starting XI next August I'll be worried.
Koscielny starts for the reserves tonight.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
You used to be everything to me
Now you're tired of fighting
Yes must admit that worries me too, if you didn't rate them they wouldn't play almost every game, barely anyone else does. If he doesn't get rid of these two I can't see much hope for us.
Just hope he sees what everyone else can see.
I think Mustafi has been playing because we've haven't had much choice.
Xhaka though, I fear Emery genuinely rates him. Either that or he is just pandering to his employers who gave Xhaka a big new contract.
CM options outside of Xhaka aren’t too hot.
AMN has been out. You can’t stick a 19 year old into the engine room in his first season and expect him to play every game to a high standard. Ramsey has one foot out the door and it isn’t his best best position. Elneny is just a squad player.
