He’s shite isn’t he
Already had terms agreed with Hertha and then Arteta comes in and convinces him to stay. 
Whenever he has two-three incident-free performances, people think he's turned a corner and then bam, today happens.
There is a reason why Arsenal haven't finished in the top four since he joined.
I thought that sort of thing only happens to us. 
No he isn't.
Todays error was bad of course and unfortunately he shows the odd brainfart but he's a good footballer imo.
Whenever i saw him play for Arsenal this season he was good.
He's made an error vs Leicester too but nobody talked about it cause they won the match.
He's a ticking time bomb
Probably created more goals against his team than he has scored
I don't know about today's error. I mean, he did mess up, but it's more because of this new-age obsession that the ball needs to be played out from the back, regardless of the risk involved, or whether the team has the players suitable for that. A few season's ago, there'd be no way that ball was played back into him in his position (unless you played for Pep).
He’s literally made more errors leading to goals since his debut that anybody in the league, he always looks like he’s a mistake or red card in him in every game.
I don’t understand how. He’s a number 8, not a CB or the very least, a DM. How does he keep finding himself in positions to gift opponents goals? He can pull off the odd screamer tbf but he’s an absolute calamity waiting to happen most of the time for Arsenal.
It's almost as if the poster might have some sort of bias towards the swiss national team captain

I'm obviously biased no doubt about that.;-)
While he is obviously no Pirlo i just don't think he is as bad as he is made out to be in this thread. There was a poster in here who actually claimed he's the worst player in the PL.
Due to him i relatively often watch the Arsenal Games and i really feel he is doing a solid job in most of them.
While i can see where the criticism is coming from due to him being a bit daft here and there, i still think if he was that shit he wouldn't be in his 5th year for Arsenal. Most of the time as a starting player, under three different managers. And while they are a bit shit in the league he's won 2 FA Cups, 2 Community Shields and reached the Europa League Final with Arsenal as a starting player. So he was hardly a disaster for them.
New contract
Mods, title change to like his REDS too
Was he ever a good player?
Absolute joke of a player.
11th sending off of his career. His nickname is truly deserved.
His nickname is truly deserved.He is the only player, which will get a red for this. Just because of his name
Is there a more braindead footballer in the Prem?
He fully buys into his own reputation and tries to live up to it. A disaster of a player.
Good to see the reformed, captain-material man demonstrating his new composed side.
Arsenal extended his contract because he had good EC.
Process.
Process.
Mendy
Just when you thought he couldn't get any dumber...
Quarantine him for the season please
Not surprised. Especially after Ole’s comments — I bet there’s loads of PL players (and across Europe) who are still yet to be vaccinated.
I'd punish him by making him play every game.
Why in the name of god did they not let him move to Roma!
I'm surprised the PL is allowing him to play.
Not surprised. He seems exactly that kind of guy
Because Roma already has enough toxicity.
United have many players who are yet to be vaccinated, Newcastle the same, and apparently this is a clubwide issue, not sure why Xhaka is getting singled out here??
I'm wondering when players who were involved in the international tournaments would have had time to have it? It's very common for people to feel lethargic for up to a week afterwards and elite sports will be reluctant to have players out for that long. As you say, there must be loads of them.
Because he’s such a brain dead player on the football pitch (e.g. his last game for Arsenal) it’s amusing to discover he is also brain dead away from the pitch.
