Date published: Friday 21st April 2023 9:10 -Granit Xhaka’s best won’t be good enough for Arsenal next season. He will be the first of what Arsenal fans should hope will be many evolutionary casualties.
Despite the undue pile-on after he was deemed to be the catalyst for Liverpool’s comeback earlier this month, the analysis of his performances by both pundits and fans has been overwhelmingly positive for the first time in a career at Arsenal that has seen him tell the fans to “f*** off” and his teammates that they have no “balls”.that he threatened to drop Xhaka if he didn’t “unlock the part of the brain” that would allow him to thrive in the more advanced role he’s taken up.
Let’s take a beat to appreciate how brilliant the identification and execution of this role change has been by Arteta. That, ladies and gentlemen, is football management. But it’s the manager’s desire to evolve that looks set to cost Xhaka his place in the starting line-up. Because harsh though it sounds – andLack of evolution is stagnation in football, as Liverpool are finding out to their cost this season.
