Xhaka being awful is about as newsworthy

Can't argue with that, worst player on the field and worst Arsenal captain ever.

Emery on Xhaka:

on Granit Xhaka's tackle...
In 90 minutes, I'm very proud of his work. Some mistakes we can have, I want to use them to progress, to learn and improve. There are a lot more positive things individually and collectively, and also with Xhaka for me. The penalty incident is a disappointing action but he played very well and worked very well. If we win that match, maybe we are speaking about that mistake less, but really there were two mistakes in the first half and they scored from both of them. In the second half, I think we spoke in the dressing room about that, and we learned and we did well in the second half. We continued to get the ball, we continued to take a lot of corners, taking a lot of shots, but we didn't get the positions to score the goal. I think we deserved a third goal.

Emery is protecting his player. Can't you see that?

He will, that doesn't mean much though. Managers persisting with awful players is also not newsworthy

Xhaka for Arsenal in the Premier League:

Penalties conceded - 5

Total errors leading to a goal - 11
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That doesn't even account for the stupid fouls and letting players run or even jog past him which happens 5-10 times most games

We'll see. Its going to cost him his job if he does.

I don't understand how Emery can persist with the liked of Xhaka and Mkhi while also blacklisting Ozil.
At least Ozil, for all his limitations, can find the right pass and offer something.
