Debunking Xhaka myths
1) he controls our game
What he does is basic stuff, almost any top clubs have like 2 midfielders who can do the same
2) he is a “leader”
A leader who told the media we were afraid of last placed Watford and a leader who told fans to fuck off

3) he is a good long shot taker
He scores 1 every season. Thats it. 99% of his longshots are terrible. He doesn’t even try to score anymore
4) he is a great athlete
It’s true that he is rarely injured but he is so slow and immobile that it doesnt really matter

5) he dictates our tempo
Actually true. He slows it down
6) great long passer
He pings a few long passes every game but neither are really dangerous for the opposition. Luiz makes far better linebreaking long passes and he is a defender

7) he is a great defensive midfielder
No. Even Ceballos outshines his defensive stats, still makes reckless and stupid mistakes
8) he is a new player under Arteta
He is less mistake prone but still makes stupid mistakes and gives away balls in dangerous places. Not good enough

9) he walks into every PL midfield
I am not even gonna say anything. This is just plain stupidity
10) he is important and crucial for our team
Very easily replaceable player. So far since he “controls” our midfield we never finished top 4

11) he is a popular member of the squad so he deserves the armband
Danny Welbeck was popular among his teammates. Did he deserve to be captain?
12) he loves the club
He only started to care about Arsenal after he learned that Hertha is his only suitor

13) every manager played him
Did they have another option? All managers had below par midfielders (and Santi was injured under Wenger)
14) he is press resistant
No he is not, none of our midfielders are
Thats enough for now, get the fuck out of my club!

15) we are a better side with him
We are shit with and without him. He basically had disasterclasses in our most important games of the season. Gave away a pen at home against Spurs, lost against Spurs and also against Olympiacos he also started.

16) he played well against City and Pool
Should we clap him for two fairly memorable performance in 4 years?
17) he is great under pressure
No, against most decent teams his clear limitation always show up. Reckless, loses concentration, gives away balls, slows us down

18) he is a consistent performer
Quite the opposite. He either shows up and plays his basic footy or has a disasterclass. We need a consistent performer for our midfield and we havent had one since Santi got injured under Wenger.
