VICTOR LINDELOF has claimed he is unfazed by Jose Mourinho after his former boss declared he is weak in the air and can be bullied by strikers.
Speaking after the defeat against West Ham, Mourinho said: ” Lindelof is very, very good in some aspects of the game.
“But he can be bullied in the one-on-one in the box, he’s not especially good in the air and Maguire has that kind of presence and physicality that is very, very important.”
Commenting on Mourinho, the Swedish centre-back said: “There is always going to be someone talking or someone else. When you play for this club there is always going to be people criticising you and the way you play.
“For me it has never been a problem, even when I play good there is someone criticising me for something. It's part of the job, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
“I'm just trying to do my thing and I don't focus on those things. I didn't even notice, or know about it, before you told me. That's how I live my life and focus on my things.”
MARK LAWRENSON has predicted Arsenal's match against Manchester United will end 1-1.
The ex-Liverpool star told BBC Sport: “The Gunners are turning into the comeback kings, although I am sure they would prefer not to be in a situation where they need a fightback in the first place.
“Unlike United, Arsenal do not look short of goals, but it is at the back where Unai Emery's side still have problems.”

MAN UTD are reportedly considering a swoop for Spurs star Christian Eriksen in January.
The Danish international is in the final year of his contract in North London and will be a free agent in the summer.
According to Goal, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to bring the former Ajax ace to Old Trafford when the transfer window reopens.
Though they claim that Eriksen favours a move to Spain, with Real Madrid understood to be one of the clubs interested in him.
Spurs know they will have to cash in on the player to avoid losing him on a free.
MICHAEL OWEN has predicted that it will be honours even between Man Utd and Arsenal at Old Trafford on Monday.
The former Red Devils striker: “After their loss at West Ham on Sunday, Manchester United have now lost seven of their last 15 games in the Premier League – as many as they had in their previous 40 games in the competition.
“Arsenal continue to frustrate and excite in equal measure, but they came from behind twice to beat Aston Villa on Sunday and they were a man light for the whole of the second period.
“United kept a clean sheet against Leicester City in their last home league game, but I would be surprised if the Gunners did not find the back of David De Gea’s net in what promises to be a fascinating game between two clubs desperate to return to the automatic Champions League places this term.
“Unai Emery will have been delighted by the return from long term injury of Rob Holding and Hector Bellerin in the midweek 5-0 League Cup success over Nottingham Forest.
“Add the impressive belated debut of summer signing Kieran Tierney and two goals from Brazilian teenage striker Gabriel Martinelli, and the suggestion is that the Gunners’ boss is going to have one or two difficult, but welcome, selection decisions to make in the weeks and months to come.”
