Should have gone for a deliberate handball which was a) not a handball and b) not deliberate. Itself a stunning piece of inaccurate punditry.
Was apparently walking a tightrope with respect to staying on the pitch, which when faced with the Spanish equivalent of Snidey McSnide in the opposition team could be true.
I guess some players just have a reputation around them and will always be singled out in this way. A pity really as I thought he and MN did very well against a much more star studded opposition trio.
I see the Guardian is keeping it up this morning:
The last sentence in particular being brilliant, as if our exit on Thursday night will be directly linked to his performance.
“There are many problems for Arsène Wenger’s successor to grapple with over the summer but the current manager has a shorter term matter with which to grapple: how to concoct a happy ending to his time in charge, starting with defeating Atlético Madrid on Thursday and reaching the Europa League final. Granit Xhaka, who is likely to start in the Spanish capital, once again demonstrated what a liability he can be in a vital position. The midfielder tracked back but then needlessly went to ground as Manchester United scored their first, was booked, and then could have been sent off, all before half time. That sort of performance has been typical of his time at the club, leading to doubt over his future at the Emirates Stadium. More of the same in Spain and Wenger can forget the dream send-off.”
poor lad has got a reputation, that is for sure.
How this could ever, in a million years, be a red card, is fúcking beyond me.

Or perhaps you're too sensitive about your favourite Welsher? I made no comment on the game. I made a comment on how poor a midfield partnership Xhaka and Ramsey are, which doesn't single out Ramsey in any way. Nor Xhaka for that matter. It doesn't even blame the pair of them directly as the responsibility for playing them together sits with the manager, not them.
I can imagine either of them playing much better if they played with a different partner and in a different system. But playing them together in 4231 has been a disaster imo. That doesn't make me obsessed, it was a very sensible and defendable comment.
P.S. Anaconda is a c*nt and can f*ck off.
well he’s Wenger’s last captain so you know what that means :wave:
Can’t wait for the new manager to restore some legitimacy and pride back into the role. Wenger destroyed the captains role with some wired Australian leadership group thingy.
