I'll give you that. Also, I know he played last night, but when we have a back 3 of Kos, Papa and Nacho, it means Mustafi isn't there to fück it up.Almost like playing three at the back –* which you have been highly critical of – gives the freedom to do that
Next season we'll have Holding and hopefully CC back, so Mustafi's down to sixth choice even if we can't find a pub side to take him off our hands.
However, until the last few games, when playing 3 at the back, he only played with one forward in a 3-4-3, and didn't play at least one of Ozil and Rambo, often playing neither.
You might remember my issue was not playing the sexy players. As for the defence, it didn't seem to matter how many we played alongside Mustafi, he'd bügger it up at least once a game, so I just hoped we'd out-score them.
If we get young Rob and Callum back, we actually have a decent set of options at CH with all fit, esp with Nacho-Kola allowing tactical formation changes.
What happened to the young Bubble from last season? He can't be any worse than Mustafi, can he?
Been injured for most of the season - back now
Excellent. Let's give him a go instead of Mustafi. Even last night, the only problem we had came from a Mustafi fück up.
I know the Bubbe cocked up, but that was after 3 games. Which makes him 3x better than Squadron.
Chambers will be sold. Not good enough for us but has done enough on loan that we'd get a decent fee for him from a midtable club. Monchi will get rid of him to reinvest in the squad.
Definitely - think he's done well in that central midfield role and will get a chance somewhere else
Are they playing him as a DM? He always said he thought that would be his best position long term.
Also, it's great to have a DM who can also play CH in a team. Gilberto, Song etc. Get a sending off and you just drop him back. Helpful at corners, too.
Hope he does well. I always liked the lad. Pity it's not for us.
I'd rather keep Chambers and get rid of Mustafi. Chambers is fine as a 5-6th choice CH. Mustafi isn't.
I mean, he must have some talent to win the WC, but I just think his confidence is shot with us. Still, if we get rid of both and buy another CH of Papa Sok's level, I'll be happy.
Would like a younger one, though, so we don't have to go through this every 3-4 years. How long have we had Kos for? Great signing. All the fückwits on here calling him Laurent Ligue Deux, ffs. Best CH since the Invincibles.
I imagine Chambers and Mustafi will be sold and the money put towards a better centre back. If Koscielny is willing to see out his contract he'll probably be 4th choice next year with Holding and Sokratis ahead of him plus a new signing. The other Greek will be 5th choice.
Firstly, I still Kos is the best we've got. How long his body and pace remain at this level, I dunno. I'd wouldn't surprise me if it does drop next season as you suggest.
But he could last for another year or two. Think TA in '02 and MK in '04.
Also, if we're gonna play 3 at the back, we need at least 6 CHs. Though we have that with Nacho.
I'd rather bring CC back and spunk the cash of filling the huge, Rambo shaped hole in MF.
