Fack Evra that man has issues with Arsenal in general and attention seeker he needs to be castrated.
Xhaka isn't good overall, in fact he's been terrible for the most part. Yes he scores the odd screamer, even has the odd good half, very occasionally an entire game where he's pretty decent. But for the most part he offers little going and is average defensively, often a liability.

So basically comments like this are a perfect example of what is apparently unique to the UK. You've done well
Xhaka is a solid player, nothing more than that. We need better than him to become competitive again. Just ask yourself in which top club could you put him in XI?
I've defended Xhaka for years. Back when he used to cover every blade of grass on the pitch and throw himself into every tackle for 30+ games a season. Wasn't pretty, but that's exactly what was needed in midfield.
I even defended him after that ugly incident with the fans.
But I'm done now.
Now he just casually jogs about the place and pads his stats with unimaginative 5-yard trampoline passes with the nearest player in an Arsenal shirt. And that's when he isn't hiding and hoping no teammate passes him the ball.

Actually he is playing now better than ever, I think his performance is better after incident with fans than it was before incident. Thing is that it is not good enough, he can be great squad player, but not a player that will take us to higher levels.

Think you'll find you deluded yourself for years. Xhaka never did what you stated in the first paragraph

I'm the kind of anorak who's actually gone as far as using a stopwatch during a game to see how long Xhaka could go without touching the ball. I think the record is about 6 minutes. 6 minutes without the ball is absolutely criminal for a midfielder.
Talented players like your Pirlos and Xabi Alonso's could probably get by without the hard graft. But an average player like Xhaka is useless without a decent work rate.
Yeah ..! Nice ‘tackle’ to take out grelish at the end.
A real professional sporting challenge.
The guys a thug .
