Granit Xhaka: 2019/20 Performances

[EmeryCouldnt]

He's done here regardless sounds like.

I just want them to play him so I can feed on the drama.

His best performance was at left back

Times we play Elneny and Torreira? Xhaka is not our man. He’s obviously got utility and people should welcome him back to the field. But he is clearly not starting quality for arsenal and the club needs to fix that gap.

The thing is when he comes back he'll be starting again. First couple of game Emery will fight the urge but he'll be starting him again soon.

Nice of him to come forward and support Xhaka. Also a little dig at Petit, Keown and others who have jumped on his back.

Patrick Vieira: Granit Xhaka deserves Arsenal respect
"He will come through this difficult period....and will show how good he is"

Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira has leapt to the defence of Granit Xhaka, saying he "deserves respect".

The 27-year-old Switzerland international was stripped of the captaincy following an altercation with fans against Crystal Palace and has not featured for the first team since.

Despite manager Unai Emery suggesting the player may never play for the club again, Nice head coach Vieira is more sympathetic.

''I feel sorry for him because he [was] the captain and he's going through a really difficult period and really difficult time at Arsenal," Vieira said.

"I think we have to remind ourselves that he's achieved a lot since he's at Arsenal and he deserves a lot of respect.

"When you're a player and don't perform the way you expect, you get frustrated about yourself. And sometimes you say things or do things you regret.

"I find it really difficult a lot of ex-footballers have jumped on him and being really negative towards him - it's too too easy.

"I know how good he is and he will come through this difficult period because he's a strong man, he's a good player. And he will show how good he is.''

Probably being a diplomat because he wants Emery's job in summer

This page If global warming means we get two cherry picking seasons in the calendar year, then I’m all for it.

Interesting how Arsenal's best ever midfielder is being supported by Vieira.

 

[Garrincha]

Imagine Vieira has some sympathy as the home crowd went pretty hard on him first return. Cesc then schooled him & even ****ing Pires crunched him.

''I am happy with the tackle on Patrick Vieira,'' said Pires.

''It is the first time I did it in the 13 years of my career, and it led to the first goal.

''I even surprised myself. When the ball is at Patrick's feet he is a specialist, it is like the pupil who has copied the master.

''I am happy with my performance and the match, I put in a lot of effort and I got the reward.

''I played in a more defensive position, which means I can also defend.''

Paddy definitely let the emotion of that return game affect him, seemed mentally shaken a little...I know people say he was past it when we sold, I don’t think that’s true...he probably wasn’t peak Vieira anymore, but was still a very good player, was still quality for us in 04-05...had a great World Cup in 2006 too did Paddy, think he got in the team of the tournament aswell.

Somebody please remind me, I can't think of a single achievement...

1 FA Cup...

1 big split down the fanbase on his abilities!

Captain and most played player means nada to you?

I thought winning trophies & getting individual awards or at least getting nominated for them counted as accomplishments.
How low could the bar be set for this man is the question I have at this moment

Captain and most played player is an achievement. No wonder why people think POTY at Arsenal means something! :rofl:

William Gallas was our captain at one stage and this guy was almost as pathetic a choice as Gallas was..

One of his best displays was final and semi of the FA Cup.
