Bad situational awareness by Leno. It just put us in a bad position, no matter who the player receiving was. The fact it was Xhaka makes an error of that kind more likely.
Burnley made it difficult to play out from the back to be fair to them. Arsenal should have taken advantage of the chances they’ve had on the counter.
We must have a different idea of what 6 yards is. I think people are being really kind to Leno here, he does him zero favours. He’s the one who can see all the options and he puts Xhaka in a really difficult spot. He also doesn’t react well of course
Leno made a bad decision, but Xhaka wasn’t forced to do anything. If he’s making such a pass inside his own penalty area, under pressure, he should be sure what’s going on around him. Absolutely idiotic to make such a pass without looking what’s going on. Absolutely on him.
