As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
If you isolate Xhaka and just watch him, besides giving away the odd needless free kick every now and again he actually does absolutely fuck all. He's never really out of position because he never gets forward, nor does he get back to defend so he is always more or less where he's meant to be, he just does fuck all wherever he is
This is it. He isn’t some talented but flawed player, or even a decent but short of the mark player.
He is an absolute fucking cart horse who offers zero getting forward, and despite not really getting dragged out of position he is fucking useless defensively and his only contribution is either hacking or hauling down anybody that runs at him.
Lucky not to be sent off then for a second game in a row.
He genuinely has no fucking redeeming features. Of all the things that have ever baffled me, how he is playing at this level will never be explained to me. I honestly think he would struggle to get into many if not most Championship sides.
I keep expecting the camera to pan to our bench and focus on a 70 year old man sitting there hugging himself, playing with his zipper, and throwing the odd water bottle around.....
Don’t know why Auba is sulking....he was shit AGAIN
His attitude is a fcuking disgrace and I hope to fcuk that he is bombed out in the summer - poor performances I can accept if the effort and application is there, but this lazy b.astard pisses around sulking the whole fcuking time
Since he took Ozil off and brought Ramsey on we have totally lost control of posession. We have created nothing. We have no thinking footballers out there just headless chickens. Shocking.
Monreal, you can fuck off to Barca you lazy c.unt. Piece of shit lazy fucker.
Throwing his arms about having a hissy fit while the game goes on - that behaviour has always been there with him but he got away with it to some degree when he was playing ok, but now he is past his best and he is another that needs to be moved on
