irony noun (OPPOSITE RESULT)
a situation in which something which was intended to have a particular result has the opposite or a very different result:
Example:
The irony (of it) is that "manberg" made a comment about "Blood on the Tracks" watching Xhaka with agenda glasses on, when it is "manberg" doing this very thing.
That aside I did think Xhaka was quite good against Southampton tbh. I don't know if I'll ever be fully convinced with him though.

Very well-known
It's actually the impression I got when he first started posting. It's just a bit too Manberg if you know what I mean.

Continues his good form. MOTM today imo.
Thought he was very good again today. His positioning has improved so much, always seems to be in the right place now defensively. His passing was very secure as well, some good balls through to ESR.

He was excellent today, carried the midfield with Partey being poor.

Good game, was trying to be progressive
Country: England
Very very good, one of the best i've seen him today. Such a shame Partey was awful because we should of won that with Xhaka's performance.

Looked confident, very good game. Defensively strong and even carried the ball out of defence a couple of times.

Had a good game defensively. But I don't remember him playing that many forward passes. He was back to sideways and backward passes whenever he was pressed.
Played several through to ESR who messed up the final pass.

I'm not a fan but that was a good performance today.
Fair play to him.

Did well considering all the babysitting he had to do for Cedric
Yes overall good performance in both areas of pitch. I hate the ways sometimes he pass it backward when we close to manutd box but i guess this is just the manager instructions

Since he joined he has been our most important player.
I thought he was terrible in his first two seasons to be honest. He started improving in 18/19 playing next to Ramsey in that 343. He struggled when Emery switched back to a back 4, but since Arteta's come in he's been really solid.
Players lile him always improve with age.

You thought wrong. Xhaka has been a great player for us since he joined. A few big mistakes in a year doesn’t change that. He has got better but to say he was “terrible” in his first two seasons is laughable.
I didn't. His positioning was poor and gave the ball away in stupid areas, although he did have some good performances sprinkled in there. Hence why we got absolutely slaughtered on transitions in 16/17 and especially 17/18.
He's improved massively on those two things so credit to him.
Player:Martinelli
Arteta turning Xhaka into prime Pirlo is deserving of a lifetime achievement award.
