He's been here for 5 years and has a contract until 2023 It's just torture, how do we continuously sign these kind of players? No wonder our scouting team got sacked.

Really? Only after that match? Have you not been watching the last 4 seasons?

Yeah make no mistake, I do not rate this guy at all I am just saying I am glad he shoved Tierney away he was starting to lose his head much like Pepe stupidly did.

You’re acting like Tierney was going over there specifically to kick him in the balls... He was never going over there to get a red card. He’s not that guy. He was going to say his piece and be off with. You don’t get sent off for that. As for Xhaka acting like a captain or even responsibly—what he needed to do is take his mates d!ck out if his mouth, come away from him and put his arm around KT, his teammate, and lead him away. Not do it all in the worst way possible, which is what he apparently chose.
Country: England
We don't know what Tierney was going to do or what Xhaka was saying to his compatriot to be honest.
Like I said I am far from a Xhaka fan but I am not mad at him on this occasion, all that mattered was the 3 points and we never got it.

I'm not even pissed off that we signed him. Every club has these type of signings and sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. The thing that boils my blood most about this guy is how he continuously becomes more integral to the team despite his failings. He's the classic case of a person who fails upwards. He's the football equivalent of Boris Johnson. I don't think people realise the mistakes Xhaka has done has cost the club millions. If i made the same mistakes at my workplace anf cost my company millions I'm going to be unemployed and probably blacklisted from my field.
It was pretty obvious he wasn't meant for the premier league after 2 seasons and yet here he is contracted to 2023 and our one time captain. Fair enough if he led us to a CL or a big trophy I could look past the mistakes but he has been integral in the worst Arsenal side in modern history. An Arsenal team that has broken so many records in a bad way.

It's always nothing until it turns into something though. I don't think anyone at the time thought Guendouzi's exchange with Maupay would lead to the Frenchman being effectively exiled yet here we are.

Exactly why I’m glad Tierney got shoved away

But it's the context that people are annoyed with. Pushing someone away so you can talk to your friend comes across as dismissive and rude. Stopping your friend from getting into trouble is another thing. Like I said its all about optics. Andre Santos asking for Van Persie's shirt when we're a goal down in half-time comes across as disrespectful. If he asked for Van Persie's shirt in the tunnel after the game, most of us wouldn't care. The end result is the same but it's how you get there and how it looks that matters.

I have zero time for Xhaka tbh but I just see crying over spilt milk.

Was the best player in the first 6 months of the Emery era, no doubt he has a tactical role in midfield. I just don’t agree with the conduct after the match.
Struggling to see what he done wrong there. If a player not so hated does that it’s hailed as great leadership for avoiding another red.
Shoving Tierney out of there was what was needed.

I don't understand the comparison. Guendo ****ing yanked him by the neck, Tierney was just having a chat a la Frimpong/Nasri.

One of those intangible things contributing to winning in my opinion is team comradery. The best teams have often gotten along and do everything together off the pitch, court etc. This isn't a prerequisite but it's impactful. Now imagine, you feel like not everyone on that pitch with you has your back. Are you going to fully committed and invested?
It's a shame really, especially given the fact that some on here think that was captain like behaviour. You ride for your teammates, right or wrong. I don't care if it's your friend, you think Stephen Jackson was all arms around Richard Hamilton in the malice at the palace even though their boys when Ron Artest and Ben Wallace at it? **** no.

Anyone actually cheering for this guy to be in first team or even Arsenal for that matter, obviously doesn't quite care about the club and/or is delusional.
If we had more players like Tierney, who are giving everything they have and actually care about the results, teammates and the club, I would not worry about the future.

Xhaka's fan club is absolutely pathetic and disconnected from the broader Arsenal fanbase.

Well I'm expecting us to shoot up the table now that he's no longer a starter.
