PL: Arsenal vs West Ham United | August 25th | KO: 15:00 BST

[Rimaal]

Lucas is a gooner

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Why all are playing high line ffs

 

[MLK79]

Oh my, was that a keeper saving a low shot that came through a couple of bodies. Fascinating.

 

[Godwin1]

Are we talking about Andy Carrol here?

I actually think he could have gone on to much better things, just injuries and reported poor professionalism.

 

[TheArsenalis]

Fabianski better than cech

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

That was poverty from Perez

 

[Camron]

Xhaka has been very good today.

 

[NieThePiet]

Nearly conceded after an own corner kick. Nice.

 

[OnlyOne]

**** me my hairs falling out.

 

[MaraDon]

Just wait until Xhaka gets pressed.

Then you will see how special he is.

if we have another ball player next to him he would not be pressed.
he is not a holding midfielder, period, play him in a 3 midfield system and he shines.

 

[Mraven]

Short term memory eh. Two good challenges in the last few minutes “Xhaka has been outstanding.”

No one have played fantastic. I think it’s just recognising that he has had a better game than most

 

[dashsnow17]

Ramsey just needs to bring him down there, that's what City do.

 

[Hope]

That was poverty from Perez

Just like Bellerin, Iwobi, Mustafi and Xhaka

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Unai please we winning no high line

 

[OnlyOne]

Ramsey isn't on a yellow, bring him down.

 

[krengon]

Good pressing from Welbeck.

 

[GoonerBoy19]

Xhaka inproved when Torreira came in, he and Guendozi shouldnt play together.

 

[MaraDon]

I actually think he could have gone on to much better things, just injuries and reported poor professionalism.

His aereal ability, his directness and phisical game, his in your face actitude, there was a special player inside him (if you play a system that takes the best out of him)

 

[Rimaal]

We're playing at home and we look like we're playing away.

 

[SA Gunner]

if we have another ball player next to him he would not be pressed.
he is not a holding midfielder, period, play him in a 3 midfield system and he shines.

Yes, I get that he isnt a holding midfielder, but it shouldnt matter.

The point Im making is that Xhaka cannot retain possession under pressure, and move quick enough to find his pass. In a league that gives you no time to breathe.

That is why I dont believe he is good enough.
