I called him the Brazilian Mustafi when we signed him. That f***er has not disappointed.

TO say I am disillusioned is putting it mildly, when we signed him I thought....good player just what we need. Now we need him like a dose of crabs if he keeps fooking up like he did again.

Will have to improve drastically to equal Sokratis' 2018-19 season which is nothing to write home about.

Between Mustafi-Luiz-Sokratis, we have the three stooges for our CBs.

No matter which two you pick for the game, it will still be a clown show.

I would bench luiz I dont rate sokritis, but having sokritis luiz and xhaka together is asking for trouble I would
Drop xhaka totally
Move luiz to the bench and play holding this allows luiz if needed to come off the bench for either CB or DM

He can’t play football

It’s clear we need to be a footballing side and able to play out the back in order to have any chance of success

Limited player plus a liability in defence, constantly grabbing shirts in the box too

Tbh this playing from the back nonsense has been expounded beyond proportion since Pep decided to bin Joe Hart.

We had the likes of Almunia, Senderos, Squillaci, Djourou, etc. play for us and nobody was playing as sexy football as we were during those days. Heck, Lord Bendtner was playing on the flanks. And, we had anti-sexy football merchants like Cech, Walcott, Coquelin, and even someone like Ramsey who's not known for his passing range, and we were still playing possession based attacking football until Wenger's final years.

In fact, I think we played some beautiful football even in 11/12 with that poverty side devoid of technique, bar van Persie and Rosicky, and Arteta to a lesser extent.

Sokratis is a solid defender. But he's not the type to be playing out from the 6 yard box. Really is suicidal tactics from Unai.

I'm all for trying something new but when it's clearly not working and yet you insist on still doing it ... that's ultimately what finished Wenger

I think Sokratis is good. And Luiz only conceded three penalties in 160+ games for Chelsea. He has two for us now.

Well he is on a roll now, I am disappointed i him, I thought he would have brought some stability but its quite the opposite sadly.
