Granit Xhaka

[DiamondGooner]

They're literally writing articles about this now lol.

"Xhaka gave the ball away 11 times at the Emirates and revealingly conceded seven fouls, five more than any of his team-mates."

He had a rep for this even before he joined us

Xhaka , a disaster in motion: 149 fouls, 27 yellow cards, 2 reds, 5 penalties conceded.
Has scored 7 goals in 102 games,i.e, 1 in 15.
A terrible statistics by any means.
Yet, he has been given the Captain's armband and an automatic choice for Unai.
No substitutes/replacement for him or we are so naive and stupid after 30yrs of watching football, that we keep missing the obvious?? Mind boggling!!

He has too many flaws and is a liability. Yes with time on the ball he is good. But when pressures and his decision making is poor. Emery made him his captain which says a lot

[mel4]

Since his Premier League debut in August 2016, no player has conceded more penalties in the competition than the five by Arsenal's Granit Xhaka.

There you have it.

This does not even account for his misplaced passed or dwindling on the ball under high press that has led to goals.

disgusting player

Captain


Benjamin Button....man growing Backwards....School boy defending..as Gary Neville said " An Experienced Player that doesn't show 'experience'

Captain


If Arsenal wasn't a Joke, the armband would go to a new player & Xhaka would play 'Security' on the BENCH with 100% FIT Ozil

If he keeps costing us games .......... it'll get ugly with the fans.

We drove mustafi away can do same to xhaka. Im shocked how he strayed on the pitch. He made so many fouls and cant deal with any pressure. He is a major weakness opposition will always target

I dont know what offers but the negatives for me far out weigh the possitives

[VCC]

Actually his ill disciplined performances are at the level of no defence
He needs to rethink time on the bench may give him a reality check

[mel4]

I generally do not like booing our players but I welcome loud booing at home games anytime he touches the ball. Maybe it's the only way Emery will drop him to the bench.

You mean 'physical presence' isn't enough to offset the negatives?

His physical presence is one of his negatives
He is a penalty waiting to happen all the time add to that luiz and sokritis all in the same team chances are we will give a penalty away

He’s 26.

He has played like this his entire career. When we signed him he had the worst disciplinary record in the Bundesliga. More red cards in a season than anyone before.

Do you think he can change that much through having a spell of reflection?
