Reeling from Laca & Kos nightmares
Boring. Going on ignore.
Xhaka haters have to be the most immature people on this forum.

Being as bad as we are is a collective effort. As much as I am not a fan, lets not pretend hes the root of all our failures.
He could perform with the right midfield partner, he has enough in his locker. Still think hes our best CM at the club and has been for years, which is quite damning but that's something he can do nothing about.
I strongly disagree.Xhaka haters have to be the most immature people on this forum.
Granite is the rock that holds this team together..
A few of them are guaranteed trolls thoughXhaka fanboys have to be the most immature people on this forum.
Give him back his armband:
Nah that’s not all: I still think it’s poor he lost it; he’s been fantastic since Arteta took over; and he’s clearly the biggest leader in our squad.Lol that’s all it takes?
You should see the Lacazette haters.Xhaka haters have to be the most immature people on this forum.
True that, and this is coming from someone who rates both Laca & Xhaka.You should see the Lacazette haters.
Difference between the two is Dani has shown moments of genuine class. Moments where you see why he was at Real Madrid. You don’t see any technical moments from Xhaka that are reassuring, or the sort of advanced initiative that you associate with players of real class. That’s the difference really.Think Dani has outperformed him since the lockdown, shown a very good level has Ceballos (even if he does over dribble from time to time) maybe he feels pretty settled now under Arteta.
Would like to build around Dani rather than Granit next season, especially since Ceballos is probably more up for staying long term now.
I am partial to mentioning his fabulous batty from time to time but it’s in a positive way.True that, and this is coming from someone who rates both Laca & Xhaka.
In this thread there’s a lot of criticism, but the posters tend to be reasonable and objective with it: they don’t rate Xhaka, but they can articulate why (and frankly, aren’t weirdos about the whole thing).
The Lacazette thread is largely populated by the biggest bums on this forum. Little children dressed up as soldiers, who barely have a decent criticism to rub between them, posting about how his bum is big / has a “dead” trim. Apples and oranges.
Ceballos has a higher ceiling for sure. Xhaka is sort of our Jordan Henderson (less mobile, better passer), in that he's not the best player but is important at the moment, but will be slowly phased out if the recruitment is right.Difference between the two is Dani has shown moments of genuine class.
