    If he needs teaching of the basics for that sort of situation then we are in real trouble. At this level it shouldn't take a coach to tell him to not get caught in possession deep in your own half. He needs dropping and he'll know exactly why he's been dropped. If a player can't work out what to do in that sort of situation, especially a central midfielder, he has no business playing at this level.

    35 mill in the hole, so we might as well try to train him up.

    Caught the last 20 minutes or so, we looked pretty good from what I saw of it though we were playing against 10 men. You never know which Arsenal will turn up so today's result isn't entirely surprising.

    Wenger will tell him that he was fouled. If Xhaka has any sort of professional pride, he'd learn not to get caught like that. How long do we have to potty train? Certain basics you shouldn't have to be told what to do and if caught out you should know how to correct it as a player. As coach, Wenger should show Xhaka that the sloppy play is unacceptable and drop him. He shouldn't have to go through training drills with the guy and analyse endless footage of similar scenarios. He's a lost cause if we do.

    No, I agree. But Xhaka's not the only one guilty of infuriating sloppiness. It ranges all the way down from Alexis through Cech - moments where a bit of composure and thought would make all the difference. Because the majority of the squad is actually decent, it's a constant war between the complacency and the individual ability. Sometimes the talent wins out, other times we blow our own feet off with both barrels. It won't change for as long as we have a guy who doesn't care about that stuff in charge.

    We had sloppy moments and players need a good kick up the backside. However, Xhaka is someone I have no hope for. It's not just sloppy play, it's a lack of quality too. He's so one footed that he can't use his right foot at all. Even the stupid foul he committed was down to him having to use his left foot to lunge in across the player instead of trying to win the ball with his right foot which would have seen him make more contact with the ball instead of the going right through the player.

    He's slow, not mobile, can't tackle, questionable decision making, heavy feet....looks more and more like a dud signing.

    Our super advanced stats package say differently. How many subs have you made?

    Whether that's because he realises that it's his "last chance" to make something or he's doing a "Theo" and playing well to get a new contract remains to be seen though.

    I still however don't think we should give him better opportunities until he signs a new contract! We've already got too many players taking the club for a ride!
    He'll do well until he gets a new contract then his form will go downhill.
