How come the much rated Mustafi sitting on the bench second consecutive game for B side?


...and some think he should start in our 1st team in a back 3. Kos, Rob, Per are our best CBs in that order imo.


........ 1 - nil to The Arsenal

Yeah, why not? Why not rest him for 2 straight games after his blunders against Chile? He might eventually play the finals but I also hope we rest him for PL games in 3 CB formation (if Kos, Rob, Per, and Nacho are all fit) and play him in the trophy games i.e. Carling Cup, FA Cup, and Europa league :D

Mustafi is fine. He never played with our best CB last year so that should help next season.

If we continue with 3 at the back then bring holding in as well

Its time you stop trolling with your Per as our best CB line. A 3 CB can help Per as much 3-5-2 helped Ox. Otherwise they both have no place in our starting 11.

What is wrong with Chile? They're playing like amateurs.

How is that a yellow?

Shocking refereeing.
