Like someone suggested in the other thread… I’d be quite happy if we got Kovacic from Chelsea. Thought he was brilliant last night.
That recovery challenge on Joe Willock just as he was about to pull the trigger…
Redemption story with yet another chapter lol
Fair play Granit
My MOTM. This guy was everywhere today. You can just tell he was enjoying himself out there with all the aggression the game was demanding.
Highlight was his slide tackle to stop Willock from scoring, what a moment.
I have no fucking clue how he ended the game without a yellow, fucking hell.
Bro was begging for someone to touch him.
He was phenomenal today. All three midfielders were tbh.
Bing bong.
The Swiss Army knife
Fuck ya life!
Got dispossessed easily a few times but other than that, can’t fault him. He managed to not get himself into trouble even though this was exactly the kind of game he’d normally do something stupid in so that shows growth from him. And that tackle on Willock was exquisitely timed and executed.
Ref was probably licking his lips at the thought of giving a pen when he see xhaka begin that slide
Thinking back to his first season, when he got caught cold a couple of times just standing watching as we conceded. Granted it’s 7 years apart but what a difference.
Tiktok videos are just the worst. Fucks sake.
‘trying to come up’ = ‘we don’t really know but we’re gonna put it out there anyway’
would be good for Leverkusen, I’m sure they’ll get money this summer, I expect one or more of Frimpong, Diaby and Wirtz to leave for good money (even if Bayern cheapskate them).
Don’t think he’ll leave though, I’m sure he considers himself central in this Arteta rebuild regardless of what we think.
I think Xhaka will want to stay and be part of an Arsenal CL campaign for the first since since his first season at us in 16/17.
Can see him leaving in 12 months.
If Granit can leaves, he does with his head held high. A rare distinction for an Arsene Wenger/StatsDNA era signing.
