His performance last season was tragic
but seems to have made improvements under Emrey hence willing to give him some more time.
Wenger basically asked him to do all the defending in midfield and launch our attacks if we won it back. It's no wonder he was shocking last season.
He now has Torreira next to him and is looking decent, nothing more. We can surely upgrade on him. Either be patient for Guendouzi who looks like a baller, or get another dynamic midfielder in.
Yeah. That's what I dislike about him. No dynamism to his game. Extremely static, erratic with his passing, and just has to take 2-3 touches before he decides to pass it.
Good at shielding the ball at times and has a decent passing range (can be sloppy) but there must be something there that we can't see as fans as both wenger and emery are huge fans
He has improved a lot on last season but he’s not a top DM and since before we’ve signed him I knew he wouldn’t be good enough to take us to where we want to be.
I would hope he is a player we would look to upgrade on either internally or over the summer
Too slow, no technical ability. Means big trouble for a central midfield player. Get rid asap.
Done ok recently, but I've seen a lot of Arsenal fans on social media hyping him up far too easily. Some were saying he's been "a revelation" this season and that "anyone who doesn't understand what he brings to the team doesn't know football". Comedic stuff really.
Don't think he's the type of player we need to take us to the next level and he is still very limited in what he provides us. Would personally get rid still, but don't see it happening.
The former Gladbach captain improved his performances a lot since the second part of last season.
People have already made up their minds and he can do what he want he cant succeed.
Surely the introduction of Torreira helped him a lot. His long range passing is outstanding. His physicial ability is amazing.
He isnt world class however but a very important asset in our midfield. People who dream about to replace him are wrong. Emery likes him and he is one of the players who is first on the team sheet.
We might have to replace Ramsey next summer but Xhaka who recently extend his contract will stay on.
His physical ability is amazing? Disagree with you there GT.

Fit, strong, never injured. Makes the dirty work.
Its hard to get injured if you don't run.

What a silly thing to say.
It doesnt matter what you think anyway. Emery like him and that matters.

Keeps himself fit, yes. Fairly strong yes. Most players should in the premier are like this though.
Disagree with everything else.

He will stay on but not as a starter
Tbh I can see AMN taking his spot before the end of this season

He played in every single game. Bar an injury he will be a first teamer.
Who cares if he’s played in every game. He hasn’t started or finished every game. He’s really held down his position by default. Look at his competition.
Gwen - teenager who is in and out of the team
Ramsey - can’t play Holding role and is average anyway
Elneny - prob will be sold in Jan
AMN - injured all season
Xhaka, although at very best, a decent player, is important to this team because the other options are even worse than him. It doesn’t mean that he isn’t one of the obvious players to upgrade on in the Summer. Fitness providing, Monreal will play every game this season but not many will argue he is another player we will definitely need to upgrade on in the Summer.
What game he hadnt start?
