It was a blind vote from the players wasn't it?
maybe ozil didn't fancy it
even if it was most players would go with the easy option of whoever had the armband already and was clearly the manager's favourite
and the whole idea of a vote is ridiculous and an example of how Emery doesn't have the gravitas to simply make the decision himself
i'm actually starting to seriously dislike him now
i hope Moan U win 8-0 with Xhaka giving away two penalties tbh
I've long since felt the position of a captain is more a burden than anything else too. Emery has frustrated me with this, but what he is actually doing is placing undue pressure on a guy who is clearly one of his favourites.
The likelihood of him dropping Xhaka has diminished even further as he will be wary of undermining his own decision to name him captain.
The next manager to take over should really be asked what they think of Granit Xhaka as an opening interview question.
