PL | Arsenal vs Tottenham | Sunday, 16:30 BST | Sky Sports

[Jasard]

I just can't believe Xhaka has done this again. How many critical error can one player get away with? How can two managers be so blind to it?

 

[chessygoal]

We'll talk a lot about Xhaka and Leno's mistakes, rightfully so.
But our defensive setup is so wrong, Kola and AMN push forward like mad men, Toreirra and Guendouzi are right next to them, it leaves us completely exposed'

 

[Giroud12]

wonder what´s going through the head of xhaka in that situation. sliding in like that? the stuff he and mustafi does sometimes... must be a gift for the people studying decision making

 

[Wrighty4eva]

Guendouzi has been excellent. I don’t know what people’s problem with him is. He’s an exceptional young player who is fazed by nothing.

I didn't say I have a problem with Guendouzi I love him, hes just not what we need in midfield for this game right now.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Get Xhaka out of this club ASAP. Responsible for both goals. First losing that header vs Kane (Sokratis his fault as well, should never ever going for that header and leaving such a big space behind him) and the penalty is one of the most stupid things I've ever witnessed on a football pitch.

Losing a header vs Kane isn't a stick to beat Xhaka with. Sokratis wtf was he doing, all he had to do was drop back, same with Luiz, he just had to drop back too.

Just infuriating stuff from seasoned pros.

 

[kraphtous]

Douzi has been good, just need Torreira to be the most defensive midfielder and Ceballos in for Xhaka.

 

[LGooner98]

I hope xhaka will not be in the starting 11 again. We don’t need him!

 

[Sniper Mik]

If this doesn't get Xhaka permanently out the club I'm sending death threats to Emery

 

[ksarp]

Will STP sub Xhaka or will he persist with him?

 

[Debre-Zeyit]

This is all on Unai making crap players like Xhaka captain what has he ever done?

 

[rich 1990]

When God made Xhaka, this is what it would have looked like

320 × 180

[Iceman10]

That goal before half time was so needed. ffs.

For Sp**s first goal that was mainly our CB's caught out of position, but the main problem is CM is wide open, the three players collectively coming up short, with poor positional discipline. The CM is also a total mismatch for the three players up front.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Leno - 3
AMN - 5
Sokratis - 3
Luiz - 3
Kola - 4
Xhaka - 0
Guendouzi - 5
Torreira - 4
Aubameyang - 4
Pepe - 4
Lacazette - 5

 

[BaZZe]

Should be pretty much dead by now as any derby feels like taking away another year of my lifetime.

Already more wasted on half-time than after a 10 hour festival yesterday.

I was at a festival yesterday too lol.

 

[Malky]

Why does Xhaka just walk back into the side as soon as he's fit? He's not an exceptional player? Would Willock of played any worse than him today? I dount it, more chances that it would of meant so much more to Willock today, and in a NLD having players like that make a huge difference.

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Wait, why is Guen being defended here ? Did he get some criticism today ?

He's been MOTM up till now

 

[juice man]

The nature of the mistakes in conceding both goals is so disappointing.

 

[Wrighty4eva]

Xhaka is the mustafi of midfield.

 

[teamsoutheast]

Midfield needs a technical step up. If we're playing a 3 man midfield it's Xhaka OR Torreira. Having both limits us offensively.
