Of course xhaka would give them one last comedy set piece.

 

[berric]

Xhaka why? Selling out the game?
Would take a hit if it means he will be out of the XI for good.

 

[krengon]

Desperately need Cech to pick up some kinda injury during the international break.

If he isn't benched after this performance you either have to question Emery or Leno is a dud..

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Xhaka will p cost us

 

[Stannis]

fs Xhaka

I don't want to get on Emery's back this early, but this is clearly not clicking as of yet. The possession is still stale, defense and press still disorganized, offense still reliant on individual moments.

There's players in there who have worked out for different managers at domestic and intl level without problems: Sokratis, Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan, Özil, Ramsey, Xhaka, Cech, Lichtsteiner, Lacazette...There's undeniable quality in there, yet they can't seem to get a coherent system onto the pitch. Not under Wenger, not under Emery - while Warnock can get undeniably lesser players to exercise a coherent press at Cardiff.

I really cannot put my finger on it. Is this squad so unbalanced and randomly bough together that they just can't work together? But other managers have come into unbalanced squads, even during seasons, and made them work to some extent until they could buy/sell.

Think midfield is where most of our problems lie. Bellerin in pretty much in our right hand side all alone.

Either play someone who can help him in the right wing or fix our midfield to cover for our fullbacks to be able to have width.

Xhaka just gets worse with every game.

 

[Jasard]

Xhaka wtf

 

[Axel9090]

Xhaka is the biggest bellend in the premier league, its unbelievable.

 

[turkish gooner]

Hold on guys we need that win

 

[dashsnow17]

Is Xhaka drunk?

 

[A_G]

AWAY WINNNNNN

Holding back tears here

 

[BaZZe]

Can't blame Xhaka for that one, never a handball.

 

[Revolution]

Thank feck for that.

Now drop Xhaka.

 

[dashsnow17]

Despite our best efforts, it looks like we're going to win this one.

 

[El Duderino]

Would honestly start Welbeck in the right next game to see if helps our right side.

 

[FinnGooner]

Xhaka doing everything in his power to make us lose points here. It's unbelievable

 

[Kroket]

Can't believe we won, reckon Cardiff must be the worst team we'll face all season.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Cardiff won't have an easier game all season.

That's how damning this performance is.
