2nd straight red is 1 match? FFS.

So far his injury early in the season is still one of the highlights of our season. Was massive for us. Otherwise now we would not even be in 4th.

Nah 2 games. One extra for the first red.

I haven't been impressed either. Seemed to start bright but I'm not sure there's actually anything to his game other than a decent long ball. He's exactly the kind of player you don't want in midfield at the moment.

He's had to start next to a literal child and the most braindead idiot in the league after going over a month without a game. I'm not his biggest fan either, but cut him some slack, I can't think of a much worse situation to be put in for a young player.

That too. Or AMN. All of them could have been given that role and been better.

I don't think that's fair. He's not been good but it's more sharpness than anything.

Sharpness? So when will he be "sharp"? If you need that many games to get up to speed, that's unacceptable. This isn't the 90s.

Honestly, this is on Arteta to a large extent. He simply does not prepare his players properly.

Another nothing man.

Had 1 good month all year in 2018 and was bandied about as the next big thing.

Couldn't score, tackle or pass.

Doing half decent in a farmers league means nothing.

Hell we could have even thrown Flo in there and done better.

I just hate Liverpool.

AMN agreed.

Lacazette is just funny at this point

Doesn't matter. I prefer everyone of them than Xhaka. At least we play with 11 man with them

Yeah I'll cut him some slack, it's not his fault that we're sturdy like a wet newspaper. I don't think he has looked good at any point this season though. Seems completely unreasonable from where I'm sitting that we were betting on him over AMN.

If Xhaka had any dignity he'd resign at half time.

He's a 22 year old who has come from Belgium in his first season in the League and has barely had any minutes recently. He deserves time.

If Arteta doesn’t go flying into him with a two footed tackle I’m firmly back in the Arteta out camp.

Gunner89

Arteta can slot in and do a better job than the current mf options.

He doesn't deserve nothing though. He is either ready or he's not when he's called upon. He's not ready.

I can forgive a player of say Fabregas' talent the occasional error. Lokonga? Nah.

banduan

we actually had some better attacks after the red lol. That start was way too nervy.

He'll hopefully get done for dangerous play once they review the footage.

Don't understand how you can be critical on someone who literally have had no minutes for more than a month before being thrown into the deep end. Young guy, first season here too.

He was far better when given a run of games earlier on.
