Shkodran Mustafi has struggled for form this season

And Mustafi, who joined Arsenal in a 35million deal in 2016, has faced criticism from fans for his performances this term.The Gunners conceded 51 goals as they finished fifth in the Premier League, however, they will qualify for next season’s Champions League if they beat Chelsea in Baku.Mustafi said: It’s going to be a game where one mistake punishes you and that’s why we’ve got to be very careful.Our job as defenders is to try not to concede goals, but if you make 90 per cent of your job and in the 10 per cent the opponent scores a goal, people forget about the 90 per cent.Getty2

Shkodran Mustafi has been criticised by Arsenal fans for his performances lately

If in the end of the season you made 70 points, it is for a reason. If you go into the game without the defence and only with attacking players, I am not sure you are going to make 70 points.At the end of the day, even when we try to play out of the back, people say, Why are they doing this? Why aren’t they just kicking it out from the back? But that is not our game. The coach prefers that we make mistakes but still play our game instead of just playing anything so he cannot identify us with the game we were supposed to be playing.“You want to finish the game knowing you did this, this, this and that is why you won the game. Rather than saying, How the hell did we win that, because we were badThat will not bring you consistency. You are not going to get away with just playing and hoping you win.“You are not going to win without an identity and that was how we wanted to play.Arsenal take on Chelsea in the Europa League final, LIVE on talkSPORT on Wednesday, May 29
