Mustafi Similar To Vermaelen

PSG had 7 one on one chance. That's a lot in this level. You need to worry with type if defending and not the aerial play. Ospina and probably the ref saved you. Verrati

* verrati did nothing and Di Maria was held by Monreal. A pen and a red card.

Can't remember Psg creating many chances with headers. Think Cavani had at least 3 /4 one on ones though.

Really hasn't got anything to do with defending aerial balls it's about how the team start the tempo is far too slow as a result the passing is clumsy. They all look very static with no one prepared to make runs off the ball. The wide players not giving the fallback cover doesn't help either.

Any long ball that was aimed at the back we'd fluff and there'd be a comical mix up.
Aerial balls weren't the main thing. But it is a major issue.

As bad as Mertesacker is at least he wins everything in the air.

Not sure this is true and our problems tonight had nothing to do with aerial defending.

mustafi is just nervous, he will be fine

Abit Touchy

I have roundly panned Wenger on 606 for his managerial ineptitude tonight, however to criticise Wenger for buying Mustafi....?

A couple of weeks ago we were all praising Wenger for spending the money and buying a strong centre back. Lets not carried away with casting aspersions, Mustafi came with an excellent CV and it is only his second game.
