Granit Xhaka: Swiss Army Knife or Blunt Tool?

[Breezy]

I don’t see the issue though. Xhaka can mingle with his mate.

Yeah the way Andre Santos was mingling with his mate Van Persie.

Nah that’s different, you don’t swap shirts at half time, it’s not the done thing.

 

[GDeep™]

If Tierney is pissed off at our player being too friendly then confront him in the changing room.

You don’t bum lick an opponent who played a part in your teammates dismissal and then aggressively push another teammate trying to have words with him. It’s not like Tierney was looking to get physical.

If Tierney is pissed off at our player being too friendly then confront him in the changing room.

And Xhaka could have saved being friendly with Alioski for the tunnel or the changing rooms.

I don't want to sound like "Yer da" but obviously loyalty is important in team sports. Not calling Xhaka unloyal or anything like that but it does put into the question of the players mentality. As some one earlier stated, this was like the time Santos asked for Van Persie's shirt after we lost at Old Trafford. Was it the reason we lost? No. But we still remember it because of how embarrassing it looked for us and we questioned if these guys really care. If you can't see that or you just choose not to because your favourite player is being attacked, then you might be part of the problem. @Manberg @kash2

still a load of nonsense from people desperately seeking relevance and being stupidly obvious in their agenda.. go suck a lemon and pretend to be don king

Very grown response

 

[kash2]

4 shots on goal and 3 more that hit the woodwork. We played and looked like underdogs.
then come pashun merchants pretending to champion tierney and gleefully seizing the chance to beat up on Xhaka.

never change bum squad

Granit Xavi is symbolic of our fall. We are literally where Liverpool were when they had Charlie Adam playing for them. Rubbish player no doubt but not really his fault we are ****.

Tierney wasn't pissed off at Xhaka, he was giving Alioski an earful when Xhaka decided to be a savior for his Albanian friend

No no he needs to reminisce about growing up together as kids, before the game, once at half time, and then another one after the game, then they'll go to a club together. There's so much to catch up on. They barely get time to speak when they are not on a football pitch together

 

[Manberg]

Pure conjecture. For all we know, Xhaka could've been telling Alioski what he did was wrong, but in a calm sensible manner.

 

[RacingPhoton]

Anyway, not much to worry here. Once Partey and Elneny come back, he will be relegated back to bench and start only in EL. His game against Leeds was nothing to write home about.

 

[Riou]

Getting more and more angry about this really.

Reminded me of when that gimp Cech was hugging and high fiving Terry and Costa after he kicked the ball right to Ces, in a defeat against Chelsea...some of our players just annoy the hell out of me

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Yeah, but there was no need for Xhaka to start making out with Alioski in the centre circle though. The last time I saw two players so close on a football pitch was....

 

[silent_shadow]

This guy just always boils your blood with his behaviour.

Whether Alioski did what everyone does in the end by rolling around, you still don't act friendly with someone who wound up and then deliberately played to get your teammate sent off.

His actions in having his arms protectively on that bloke while SHOVING Tierney away just pisses me off. Tierney too, cause you know he has his priorities in the right order.

Of course the Xhaka gang is here to twist it as Xhaka really being a leader and saving Tierney from being sent off. The stupidity of this bunch I swear.

Anyway, anyone who has paid attention to Xhaka over the years is not surprised by his actions. He's is truly symptomatic of our failures in every way.

So glad this useless tosser is being phased out. How did he end up here ffs? Biggest fraud in world football, and a piss poor attitude with it.

‘Do you mind, I’m talking to my fellow countryman’. Honestly what a ****ing piece of ****. He is the poster boy of what makes some footballers these days repulsive. Completely disconnected from the fan base and all about themselves, whereas Tierney, coming from a place where you’d get done over in the street for doing that, is the total opposite. He’s lucky there are no fans allowed in at home games because that would be it for him.

Gazidis masterclass. Offering to pay 35M when there was no one competing to sign him and then extending his contract as soon as possible while ****ing up with contracts of Sanchez and Ramsey.
