All Won’t Be Well At Arsenal Until Emery Lets Xhaka Go by Nigeria2day(m): 8:55am On Sep 23, 2019
There are so many talking points from the weekend that I don’t even know where to start from. But let’s begin with Arsenal. You see, Arsenal’s problems seem like a lot. But the solution is just one - Xhaka. Until Emery learns to stop giving that guy an Arsenal shirt, not to talk of the captain’s band, all won’t be well at Arsenal.

With one man down and a goal down in the 72nd minute, Xhaka was substituted. A little more than 10 minutes later, the Gunners were winning 3-2. Even the defensive problems can largely be attributed to the feebleness and cluelessness of the player sitting just in front of the defence.

While Luiz and Sokratis pairing indeed look very unconvincing, with a proper defensive shield, they won’t be this calamitous.

It still boils down to Xhaka. If Emery doesn’t get this aspect of his selection right very quickly, #EmeryOut might become more than just a hashtag. You can’t be driving a trailer heading straight into a brick wall and expect to be cheered on.

Watching Barca as they lost 2-0 was like watching Stoke City. I’ve never seen a star-studded team play so poorly against a far inferior opponent. The only hope for Barca, as it has been over the years, was Messi. Upon introduction, El Maestro orchestrated the attack and gave it more bite. But not even Messi the Great could save this debilitated side, led by the abundantly uninspiring Ernesto Valverde, from a beating made and served in Granada.

United weren’t any better. Away at West Ham, the Red Devils were reduced to such meek lambs, it was very painful and humiliating to watch. If you think having Rashford as the top striker was really bad, you need to see how worse it became after the Englishman limped off. United played without a pattern and without heart, one would be forgiven for thinking they played without a manager. Which is exactly what sets United apart from Chelsea.
