That performance is probably the most promising thing about the direction we’re going in. I have never seen as good a performance as that from Xhaka in terms of competence and sensibility.
He must have been heavy watching the Emery videos.
Unbelievable. I still don’t believe it. My MOTM with Bellerin just cos who they were before the season and what job they had to do tonight.
Had a decent game today but if we wanna win the league and start beating the other top sides this is the main area I’m looking at making an upgrade. Well a technically astute CM, a top winger, oh and top CB too.
Damn, this mofo was really something against Liverpool. Once again, in the same season, he far succeeded his last best performance. What really did it this time was his defensive contributions, which usually is non-existent.
Torriera is bringing the best out of him and it’s no surprise that someone that actually can implement tactics is giving him more protection. The difference between him at Gladbach and here under Wenger is that he was playing in an actual system rather than pure chaos.
He closely follows Iwobi as our most improved player
Good game from him when it counted. Needs to keep showing this. If him and el torero can hold down the middle, that would be huge for our transfer priorities. I have been his biggest critic but he was good yesterday. Don’t remember a single Xhakalamity moment.
