One might argue he does more goal saving defending because he is the cause of it in the first place !
But a decent performance from him yesterday.

meh he is better than holding. We have been here for years....our fans overrating the english players. We simply dont judge young english players the same way we judge older foreigners. as of today Mustafi is clearly the better defender. But after the years of overhyping english players, we still havent learned. I think we can be honest and say the whole english chore we had were failed project

Holding has had 2 seasons at the top, of course mustafi is better.
The point is he's 21 and doesn't look out of place in the first team for the most part. He's anything but average and he's been proving that this season.
If you want to ignore his performances go ahead, most other people won't.

If the argument is then gonna be that he is not top top quality, the likes of which has Real Madrid and Barcelona doing their mafia impersonations with offers you can't refuse, he is then still good enough to strut his stuff for us.
That his time at Arsenal has been dominated by average and below par performances is not in question, but it is these intermittent really good performances that then leave you scratching your head wondering what the f**k is going on with this fella.
A touch of bi polar maybe, or full blown split personality disorder akin to Golum/Smeegle, who knows, but he needs to start making his performances against Fulham and Liverpool his stock in trade now.
For everything that he brings, Sokratis is our best central defender without doubt. Holding has all but transformed himself to the point of having plastic surgeons asking him for advice, whilst Mavropanos has the potential to be the real deal befitting that top top tag.
So, when all our centre backs are available again, a couple of dips into that below par bin (no pun intended scousers) could see Mustafi shoved to the back of a five man queue for two places.
