Explains vieraâs last performance. Man is playing heartbroken.Body language between Fabio and Martinelli is worrying here, with Gabby leaning away from him.
Looks like the honeymoon period in their relationship could be over, sad times

I dont know man. Seems a bit of a weak measurement of what it takes to be a legend..Granit Xhaka is indeed an Arsenal legend. 200 premier league appearances, nearly 300 in total. 2 fa cups, 2 community shields. Always picked to play, passionate player who plays for the badge, a fighter on the pitch, defends club values.
There are many legends whoâve achieved less.

In my opinion, if he won a PL title, then it would certainly add more kudos to the argument for..
I'm just not sure if the word Legend gets used accurately these days.
In my eyes the word Legend should be reserved for players like Adams, Wright, Henry, Bergkamp, (all the invincibles team tbh), Smith & Thomas (Anfield '89), Rocastle, Bould, Dixon, Winterburn, Seaman, even Wiltord (old Trafford). These are the obvious modern era candidates, but clearly there are players from other era befitting of Legend status. George Graham should be considered a Legend as he won trophies as player & won lots as manager.
RVP & Fabregas might have joined the list if they had stayed, but they didn't, so they're not worthy of Legend status in my book.
I'm not even sure Alexis can be considered a Legend tbh.
I think perhaps Xhaka fits more into the cult legend status. His career arc is quite unique for Arsenal & he deserves recognition for his service for sure & his love/hate relationship with the supporters. Other players in this category would be Steve Morrow, Andy Linighan, Paul Davis, Perry Groves & John Jensen, Mertesacker. All for different reasons entirely.
I'm just pleased he's found his niche in the team & is really contributing & playing the best football of his career, so far. Xhaka of old is gone.
Legend ? No, not yet..
He started 192 of the 200 games, and was only subbed off 31 times, meaning he has racked up 16,720 minutes (278 hours) of Premier League action. Thatâs at least 6,400 minutes (and 42 appearances) more than any other Arsenal player over the same timespan, and puts him in the top 10 for minutes played for all outfield players in the league since he made his debut.
From that point, the Switzerland international also leads the way for us in terms of tackles won (215), free-kicks scored (3), duels won (906), fouls won (213), goals from outside the box (8) and heâs created 199 chances â second only to Mesut Ăzil. He has also completed more successful passes (12,165) than any other player in the league since he came to England.
Probably had few too many slices of flija broI know Granit would never leave a match without a reason, as he is not a person who would let the team down, but he reminded me tonight of Partey of the past. :d Did he eat something spoiled? Hope Arteta will sort that out.
