Thread: Just watched the highlights from last night. Yet again, all three goals

  1. #1

    Just watched the highlights from last night. Yet again, all three goals

    Come directly from our possession in our own half. Idiotic.

    At some point we are going to have to acknowledge that Xhaka is ****ing useless and move on. I know he cost a lot of money but god almighty he really is ****.

    Either way, he shouldn't be anywhere near that team at the moment. He doesnt seem to have a clue what he is doing.

    I've backed him previously and still think there is a genuinely talented player in there, but I can't argue with you on that. Not even fouling people anymore

    Not quite true. He has isolated moments where he doesn't track his man, but he's generally positionally sound and his numbers are largely excellent. The problem is the optics when he doesn't track his man are absolutely terrible and are inevitably picked up on by simple chaps like yourself.

    Lets hope he is just horribly low on confidence and is just hiding at the moment (although that itself is a bad trait). We just cant afford a passenger in that part of the pitch.

    It still dumbfounds me how slack those midfielders are in covering each other's positions. Its one of the most crucial parts of the job.

    No, I don't think you are right at all.

    Failed with a late bid for Jonny Evans apparently

    Right. But even more important than crucial, I'd say; it is the job.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Not at Arsenal, unfortunately.
