If the entire team is going to crumble as soon as a player "wakes up" the opposition, then there is something fundamentally wrong with the mentality in the team. We should be able to withstand that pressure better.
😱😱Is this geezer eating all the pies at football matches.
In the past we complained that our midfield was weak spineless but when our midfield has that, has the grit, the fire, people still complain leave him alone look at last year we lost 4-0 yeah it wasnt a 4-0 game, but we still lost, we have just come to anfield and got a 2-2 draw yeah we should have won but look how far we have come in 12 months some people need to open their eyes and see the bigger picture
Soyboys will never understand real men like Granit Xhaka.
its a Team game peeps!
110%… using him as a scapegoat for defensive blunders is so stupid
But the fact is we were absolutely dominating the game prior to the Xhaka incident. As said in the match commentary, when the anfield crowd are asleep, you don't wake them up. And Xhaka woke them up. Liverpool were a completely different team that 🤷
There’s more brains in a gnat than in xhakas head. What he did is INDEFENSIBLE Robbie (how do people forget so easily this man has form!) WHEN City win the title remember THIS DAY! 😡 Cruising at 2 0 up and turned the place into a MORGUE and xhaka says, you know what, this is to easy, i will……………………! MUPPET! (and thats the politest term i can use!)🙄😠😔
Garry Neville said it best, you don't wake anfield up when it's quiet.the game completely changed after the moment and arsenal became the worse team after playing so well .
Well said Robbie.
Xhaka is a magnet for confrontation and he always steps up to it. Sometimes it goes wrong, but somebody has to be that guy.
He's a liability
Me too. Those two twats on sky are so anti arsenal.
Robbie I respectfully disagree with you the team put the crowd out of the equation Xhaka brought them back and fired up the players as much as VAR cost us two points in the Brentford game Xhaka cost us two here
FINALLY! Everyone is making that incident a bigger deal than it was. We needed to do better defensively and/or control the game by keeping the ball in the second half. We didn’t do either.
100% correct Robbie, 2 nil up
What is robbie talking about xhaka started the whole damn thing off 😂 go watch it back robbie
Granit is a rock…doesn't hide from a fight or battle. He needs to channel his agro in the right way like he has this season. It's theaziest excuse to try and pin it in Xhaka. We just didn't settle in the second half we allowed Liverpool to run straight at us.
Has Xhaka not heard the stories?Whoever you are if you are at Anfield the last thing you want to do is wake up their loud crowd.
Totally agree Rob ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍
*take over from Xhaka…..
Its not all his fault granted but he shouldve known better. Mainly the manager took too long in making the changes and zinchenko was awful …
It’s actually stupid to say Xhaka moved the crowd up and that’s why arsenal drew the game. WTF!!!.
So if the crowd stood up and cheered Liverpool , arsenal WILL stop playing??. Come on y’all, stop sounding DUMB!!!.
Xhaka is that guy, he gives your team that scare it needs to put some fear on the opponents.
Liverpool has a good second half, but could only score 1 goal.
Arsenal lost their 2 points from the bench, when Liverpool started putting ball jugglers in the midfield I knew it would be super hard for arsenal to cope, you need a Reiss, a Jorginho to come in, both of them, you no longer need a Jesus, a martinelli, it was time for them to come off. You needed bodies , strong athletic bodies in the middle to run 🏃♀️ around liverpool midfielders and delay them a bit. If arteta did those subs, arsenal would have slid one goal in the second half. The whole midfield line and attacking line collapsed
It was stupidity from xhaka. We were in complete control and one moment of madness, wakens the players and the crowd. It’s no coincidence that we conceded right after. Complete stupidity from xhaka.
Stupid to not think he was the reason the game turned. Xhaka's behaviour for a needless reason riled up the crowd thus flipping what was a dead Liverpool stadium to one that completely responded to it because he gave them reason to come alive! Liverpool were dead until that point and the game was only going one way!
Xhaka has been excellent this season but 100% if he didn't do that with TAA we could've quite likely just walked away with 3 points. The game flipped from this point. It was the catalyst to galvanise their side. No denying it!
Robbie doesn't kno how football works. Low football I.Q
But the crowd got Liverpool back into the game. It wasn’t all his fault, but it was a huge factor for Liverpool’s comeback
Well said
Yeah OK Robbie and you don't piss people off with some of your opinions.. Like this one..
No Don, it's not too harsh. It was his fault and he was being petulant with a needless and somewhat nasty challenge to Trent. Before then Liverpool were dead! I love Xhaka especially this season, but we should be able to say he was at fault and he was, it's that simple! Next weekend, we go again! He will learn.
I mean, he almost his head. But I sympathize for him. Funny enough, literally SECONDS before that happened, Saka got fouled and play went on, so I said to myself….."here we go, the ref might as well give Klopp the whistle"….then Xhaka got fouled and play went on, THEN he almost lost his head.
IDK what people expect mans Albanian of course he's gonna react
The crowd can either lift a whole team or help lose a team's momentum
I suppose a question we have to ask if would Arsenal be where they are if they never had the crowd behind them?
I think Xhaka is great but dealing with home team advantage is as much a part of the game as coping with things defensively as Robbie says. Up until that incident Liverpool were flat the home fans were flat and much longer at 2-0 they may have started booing them. A little naive to attach such little importance to a crowd’s ability to influence a match.
I think the first goal is 100% on Xhaka, like when are we gonna learn our lesson about antagonizing the Kop? But the rest of the game was absolutely shambolic from everyone and the dropped points are not on Xhaka
He one of best players this season what he his doing for arsenal this season is special
Fans are crying out for players to step up and show some fight. Now theyre crying. Make your minds up. Massive respect to xhaka for not backing down. I wouldn’t want any arsenal
Player backing down and taking shoves off another player. It happened on the other end of the pitch so we should still be doing our job defensively
Wheels starting to come off….
Xhaka didn't do anything wrong is pat of football live the guy alone
We love Ultra Konate. Sent the wannabe gangsta to out off space.
Inshallah arsenal bottle the league
If you upset a player then pushes you… "Fall " let that mf get booked but xhaka is that guy who will turn and start a fight
Trent literally ran up on him and pushed him on the back and xhaka almost fell down, wtf do you expect him to do just let trent bully him
That make no sense to blame Xhaka like we had a job to do whether fans or loud or silent.
People tend to forget that this is Anfield. One way or another the crowd are gonna get lifted. It’s just another type of ground
