Exactly this is what people need to understand, he’s not world class but he’s the only one capable of doing the dlp role in this team, until we buy someone better he’s the best we have

Xhaka isn't the answer. The way we conceded is the same way Xhaka got himself sent off. We were trying to press them high up the pitch, had both our CM's high up and they broke right through us. Xhaka's sending off kept us in the tie because we were forced to sit deep and park the bus. We didn’t learn from that went again with the same naive approach and lost.

If we need him so much how comes we managed to get ourselves in a battle for 4th place and he has only played in 10 of the 21 games we have played this season ?!

Also, of the games he missed, we Played 11, Won 6, Drew 3 and Lost 2. Not the stats of a team that are missing Xhaka if you ask me.

The midfielder that Arsenal don't need but do deserve.

Any manager that picks this guy and makes him a regular should be sacked instantly.

We missed the boat getting rid of him, now we’ve offered him a new contract we’re stuck with him.

So you think you know better than Wenger, Emery and Arteta?

Why don't you become a football manager if you have it all so figured out?

Definitely when it comes to Xhaka, the guy is a liability and has been since he arrived.

If they can’t see it they shouldn’t manage.

I’ll give Emery credit, he was ready to get rid after Xhaka threw his toys out of the pram.

If most fans were in charge this guy would be on his way to the airport and they’d pack his bags.

Good point, Wenger only signed elite players. Criminal that Mustafi doesn't have a statue yet

It's strange that Xhaka and Mustafi don't have statues yet when we've built one for Lucas Perez.

We signed a DM who couldn’t tackle, didn’t want to learn to and he’s still with us almost 6 years on.
