Welcome back buddy even though you never really left.
It clearly has bothered him deeply that the fans haven't taken to him. Glad that he now is getting the plaudits from the media, love from the fans and is playing really well for us in his new more forward role. Long may it continue!

Michael Oliver was also there last season on the away League Cup semi, when he gave him a deserved straight red for the last-man challenge on Jota.For all the Xhaka love, I can't say I'm not nervous before Liverpool. Liverpool + Michael *I conjure up two yellows for Martinelli* Oliver seems like a BS card waiting to happen.
Still confident we'll win, just not that we go through it unscathed. Hopefully Sunday will put these demons of mine to rest.
That kind of challenge thankfully I don't fear anymore with our current set-up and back-line.Michael Oliver was also there last season on the away League Cup semi, when he gave him a deserved straight red for the last-man challenge on Jota.
You're right, it's probably on the back of Oliver's mind, so with the Anfield influence on refs (which reminds of the scuffle that Arteta had with Klopp), anything could happen with card-happy M.Oliver.
It's well deserved though. He has worked hard and been professional about it. Also think many fans wanted to have a do over. No one came away greatly from the CP debacle. Neither fans nor Xhaka. Plus fans are simple creatures, if a player performs well, doesn't make mistakes and scores goals they will love you. Especially if the team plays well. And Xhaka genuinely seems like a good guy!The love he’s getting from the fans now, it’s a dream for him that he didn’t see coming.
It's not exactly the most fluid or convincing speech, I wonder if he was anxious to do it.
Wasn't he out of social media at some point? Wonder when he returned if he was?I've seen Al Qaeda hostages look more happy to be on film
Maybe he was just nervous or whatever.
Nah, it was super intense I felt like he was talking to me.
Must have been after the game or training tbh, dude was wheezing.

I was , totally.Come on, come... on...
Admit it, you were wrong about him

Oh man - you had to remind me of those 2 yellows for Martinelli.
Still can't believe that.
