Xhaka should be ashamed of himself. He doesn’t offer enough to continue to be such a weakpoint for us. The occasional diagonal long ball does not make up for the blunders, concentration lapses, or his agility of a planet

lol...true tho. We really need an upgrade on him. What most coaches see in him mostly is what I don't comprehend

I told people people who sat close to me at the bar yesterday that " Ceballos is playing exactly how Ramsey wished he could play at arsenal (especially early in his career) i.e moving the ball in tight places, turning one, two markers in and out and taking full control of the ball dictating play in the middle"....they laughed and nearly spilled their drinks. But that was exactly what I saw in okay yesterday

The guy is full of energy, someone said he's not playing the arsenal way I told him we should be happy cos that makes him unpredictable especially when opponents have no idea he will shoot or pass

In other news,
Mhki is going to Roma on loan with an option to buy, while mustafi helper might be here after all juventus are considering him after de darkness is having a shaky start.
Can these 2 happen and we can get decent replacements in January

Xhaka I have noticed struggles in a flat midfield 3, but does better in a midfield 2. His game improved when Torriera was moved wide, and later in the second half when Ceballos was introduced. I also noticed that his tackles though were rash but were professional (except the penalty). If Xhaka must play, he needs either Torriera or Guendouzi not both.

No he needs torreira or ceballos both xhaka and guen are the same.
If you must play them, it has to be with a technical midfielder not together

my point exactly, Xhaka is very good going forward, Guen has also improved his game going forward, but both are slow and are defensive liabilities.

While Xhaka’s tackles can be rash, Guen adds very little or nothing defensively cos you’ll hardly see him make a tackle, he shadow marks most of the time, escorting the opposition to the box.

Playing both exposes our defence I’ve said this over and over.

Meanwhile Laca na beast abeg.

And I love how we didn’t over jubilate after scoring both goals. We still wanted to win, that’s the spirit I always want to see

Truer words haven't been said. Playing Guen and Xhaka together is a disaster waiting to happen we are under press/ when we are defending.

If not for broda Kola being "cross-shy", we shouldve rugged in one goal tru goal-mouth scramble that could've resulted from incessant crosses into the box. He didn't do our attack any good yesterday

Well, this might end up being a good transfer window barring the departure of Monreal

everyone knows this and it's annoying the coach think otherwise.

January will be good I'm hopeful, that is if Emery haven't been sacked with his stupid line up

Why is no one talking about Ceballos and Dele Alli tussle??



I laughed my ass out, two divers!!!

You need to read reviews of Arsenal fans about this guy. A vast majority thinks he is the best mf in the team right now.

how does this change my assertion that he’s not the finished product which translates to he shouldn’t be starting for a big club like Arsenal. Or you skipped the part that says he plays foolish balls or the part which states there will still be growing pains.

Park well jare.

I just don't understand these guys overhype the boy and when we bash him they changed mouth he's still young. We praise him they say we didn't do it well, abeg na to ignore them remain

Fans commentaries on virtually every Arsenal forums want Xhaka so far far away from this club, Even the neutrals and new posters here are saying it as it is, but shockingly you see some trying to patch him up with, partner him with Rivaldo, don't play him with who they don't like and series of eyesore stuffs.

Seriously...


It wasn't PK though, they were outside the box and they both dived after the tussle...



Those VAR guys watching must have seen it and ignored...

God bless you sir. Xhaka will cost 12 points this season, 2,down, 10 more to go.

Guendouzi's failure to clear the ball when Leno saved Eriksen's free kick led to Tottenham's penalty; but you wouldn't see me bitching about that cos I decided to focus on the positives of his game like every other fan

Spy is just trying to be mischievous and he’s doing a bad job at it

Fkhalifa:

yea he is. Wenger played to that strength reason he partnered him with Coq that was very rugged and did the dirty jobs And Xhaka scored impressive goals for us then.

Emery is not a coach take it or leave it reason he keeps doing permutations week in week out experimenting with our points.

Unless you replace Xhaka in the next transfer window with someone of his height he can’t be benched cos he still gives the height advantage to defend set pieces, you can’t play two short people as DMs. Reason I prefer he is partnered by Torreira. Cos partnering him with Guen always exposes our defenders.

It won't change your assertion because they are personal. So also never f* bug us with your Guendouzi bullshits. Leave us with our assertions also.

Tomorrow now you and sod09 will claim I said he is better than Kroos.

He is never ever VERY good going forward, the only good thing he does is those long range pass, and that's not enough, Midfielders who are good going forward, drives ball forward, play incisive pass to the attack not flanks and use movement and tricks to evade thier markers, he might have been good in some games "going forward" but has hardly ever been very...
He is the slowest midfielder here,can't turn,can't switch foot nor threat opposition..

His partnership with Coq was the worst in recent years, coq was a very good DM, not good forward other than to play simple pass to carzola for the rest, Xhaka sat deep with and there was no mobility, Dhaka was supposed to get forward, but too immobile and only wants to pass from his spot. He scored long range shots, that's his forte and don't say impressive goals,he scored same with Emery and with Switzerland. His assists are dead balls, no defence splitting pass..

Emery is very good coach, take it or leave it, he was successful at Sevila& PSG and will be at Arsenal.. He is not the reason why Old experienced men in Sokratis and Luiz can't comport, Xhaka costing us since 1900, nor strikers missing chances... He had quality midfielders in Nzonzi, Benega,Ibora,Rabiot, Krychowiack verrati et Al..
He's brought in Torreira,Guendozi and Ceballos, and fans are impressed with what they've seen compared to endless moans on Ramsey, Ozil and Xhaka.

I agree with your last paragraph, and that's the only reason I'll put Xhaka in this team, I'm a fan of power and height.
