Granit Xhaka Archives: 10/2019

On this week’s Daily Cannon Arsenal podcast, Matthew and Anita spent some time talking about Unai Emery and Granit Xhaka and how the manager seems to have really dropped his captain in it.

On last week’s Daily Cannon Arsenal podcast, Matthew, Anita and Chris got into a discussion about Lucas Torreira, Granit Xhaka and what Unai Emery is trying to do.

Arsenal aren’t planning to take disciplinary action against Granit Xhaka for his actions in Sunday’s game against Crystal Palace, according to reports.

Arsenal face Liverpool in the League Cup later today, but we already have quite a lot of early team news from various sources.

Nigel Winterburn has been speaking about the situation at Arsenal with Unai Emery while also looking ahead to Arsenal’s game against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.

Arsenal will make counselling available to Granit Xhaka with the player said to be ‘devastated’ over Sunday’s incidents.

Granit Xhaka’s friend Patrik Dibrani says the Arsenal midfielder regretted his actions immediately after Sunday’s game, and the 27-year-old isn’t in a good place.

Granit Xhaka has reportedly refused to apologise to Arsenal fans after telling them to ‘f**k off’ as he was booed on Sunday.

The Arsenal squad generally want Granit Xhaka to remain as captain, despite his confrontation with the Emirates Stadium crowd on Sunday.

Martin Keown has blamed Unai Emery for the boos Granit Xhaka received on Sunday at the Emirates as he slow-walked off the pitch.

Unai Emery is to consult his players about keeping Granit Xhaka on as captain, seemingly completely unaware that the fans didn’t want Xhaka as their captain in the first place.

Granit Xhaka reacted badly to Arsenal fans sarcastically cheering his substitution on Sunday, but was it enough to see him stripped of the captaincy?

Arsenal must surely be looking for a new captain and while it will probably go to someone like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a bid to get him to sign a new contract, it should go to Hector Bellerin.

If you want to diffuse a situation, I’m pretty sure the last thing you should do is like a post on social media that tells your manager to leave but that’s exactly what Alexandre Lacazette has done as the Unai Emery sh*t show rumbles on.

There was mostly just one main talking point that dominated all others on Sunday and that was Granit Xhaka being booed by the Arsenal fans as he slow marched off the pitch and his subsequent reaction.

There is no other word for it but ‘sh*t show’ when it comes to describing Arsenal against Crystal Palace.

On this week’s Daily Cannon weekly podcast, we had a lengthy discussion about the Mesut Ozil/Unai Emery nonsense that s engulfing the club, but the podcasters also took some time out to compare Arsenal’s football to Manchester City and Liverpool with hilarious results…

Another international break is now over, with 18 Arsenal players featuring for their countries at youth or senior level this time around.

Granit Xhaka almost scored a beaut of a goal for Switzerland only to see his curled effort tipped onto the bar by Denmark’s Kasper Schmeichel, while he was also involved in a comedy free-kick routine.

13 Arsenal players have featured for their countries at youth or senior level over the international break so far, so let’s have a look at how things are going.
