Granit "The Hacker" Xhaka | Likes his reds

For a supposed defensive midfielder, he looks really suspect when he actually has to defend.
 
Think he means quick decision making whatsoever, Xhaka does seem incredibly slow with everything he does indeed.
Exactly. He looks a worse version of Arteta atm. If he has to keep it tidy he still looks ok, but if he has to make a quick decision he gets exposed.
 
He's clearly struggling. He is a good player though, give him a season before you decide that he is not gonna make it here, but it has been a disappointing season for him so far.
 
Without focusing on just the red card, he has been so poor. I have counted 4/5 times where he has given the ball away with sloppy passing against a very poor Burnley.

How much did he cost?
 
Very brainless. The pass he tried to make in the first place was just silly. Does he do his eyebrows as well? Deserves a red for that alone.
 
he got the reputation, now he has to live with it. it wasn't a red
 
Some guys on ArsenalMania comparing him to Claudio Bravo in terms of shitty transfer business. :lol:
 
Rojo got off with something identical on Zaha and the consensus was that the ref got it wrong. It's a textbook red nowadays.
 
clear red. One of the dumbest players running around. Reminds me of Rojo pre CB reincanration.
 
I'll shamelessly brag that I was right all along:
Massively overpriced (although these transfer sums will probably be the standard this summer).
His skillset is good but his game intelligence is low and he's a reckless hot head who'll get send off a lot.
Won't improve arsenal a lot I think.

Not often that I'm right on every account.
 
Well I did say in the summer that the guy was hideously overrated. His transfer thread was positively hilarious in how overrated he was.
