Centerbacks

3.0. Was absolutely horrible in the first half. Worst we have seen him. He looked no better than Mustafi and seemed to inherit the mental mistakes through osmosis. Not sure how that works, but let’s hope it doesn’t happen again. Improved a bit in the second half, but again, that’s not saying all that much.. CB. Arsenal. SOKRATIS

I cannot believe how bad he was. We have seen Mustafi play poorly, sure, same as anyone else, but against Liverpool, thrown back into the fire after a three-match lay-off, he was the worst he has ever been. He wasn’t just committing his usual bone-headed mental errors, he was physically inadequate, he was paltry in every conceivable way. He flew out of his post to attempt rash tackles, he was woefully positioned, he was just all around terrible. And that is why he only lasted 45 minutes and why I will not give him a single point for this one. Awful.. CB. Arsenal. SHKODRAN MUSTAFI. 0.0
