Not everybody's favourite player, even I was beginning to think we bought an expensive flop.
However I am now beginning to appreciate his role in this arsenal team/set up.
Difference he made when he came on was immense.Midfield was so much better. Next season I suspect we will see him improve a great deal.
Couple of other points. Danny Welbeck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy just gets worse and worse.When he first joined I thought it was a good signing. However !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His days are surely numbered. If we could get rid in the summer I wouldn't hesitate. Don't even think he is now a good squad player.
Laca looked great yesterday hopefully him and PEA can form a partnership next year.
Up until the goals it was one of the worst matches I have seen at the Emirates.
IMPORTANCE OF XHAKA

Xhaka is fecking awful. One of the worst midfielders in the league. Zero postitional sense or discipline.

You hated Walcott who atleast could do something. Xhaka is just plain bad. Not good enough

Xhaka is better than Elneny. That's about it.

To be honest I'm not sure he's any better than Elneny.
He's better at some things but worse at others, probably evens out

We should judge players against the quality of opposition. It was stoke! Our midfield is poor and standards have very much slipped at this club.

Against weak sides like Stoke Xhaka will be at his best because his defensive frailties are not exposed.
Xhaka has a great pass on him but that's it, he has no other qualities and I don't see what position he can effectively play for any team that has aspirations to be competing at the top of the Premier League.
