Bebe may have been marginally worse (subjective), but Dong was far better. He just never got a chance to showcase his skills to the OT faithful.Come on, he's not worst than the likes of Dong Fangzhou or Bebe

Absolute nonsense. Xhaka is a player with clear flaws but fantastic left foot. Give him space and he can play great balls. He doesnt deal with pressure well and can be an idiot sometimes. But he is good PL player. But offcourse we live in a world where everything has to be exaggerated.He's actually by far the worst and I've watched the likes of Smertin.
Tbf, I've agreed that he is actually the second worst PL player of all-time. My revised list is 1) Jay Spearing 2) Xhaka 3) Alia Dia (closely followed by Bebe but doing a top 4 list would be silly and far too subjective).Absolute nonsense.

I think Djemba-Djemba is also in with a shout...But i accept your list, switzerlands best central midfielder of the last 20 years or even more is in the top 3 of the PL all time worst players. We're really shit aren't we?Tbf, I've agreed that he is actually the second worst PL player of all-time.

I admit I may have slightly exaggerated calling him the worst but he is definitely by far the second worst PL player of all-time. I will only be open to re-amending my list subject to further information being made available about poor quality players playing in the PL era.
He was nothing more than a foul machine, and should have been sent off to go with giving away a penalty.Apart from the penalty he played really well i thought. It's strange to see him constantly doing stupid things for Arsenal as for Switzerland he rarely does them.
Djemba x 2 was the next Keane, don't forget. He also scored against Leeds.I think Djemba-Djemba is also in with a shout...But i accept your list, switzerlands best central midfielder of the last 20 years or even more is in the top 3 of the PL all time worst players. We're really shit don't we

Thinking about it, it really is the case.My god I'm so, so sorry.
Inler was pretty good for Napoli for a little spell, wasn't he?Thinking about it, it really is the case.
Maybe Johann Vogel (played for PSV, Milan, Betis Sevilla and Blackburn) can match him, but if i had to choose it would be Xhaka.
Really? In terms of talent he is not even close to being among the worst ever.Worst player to ever grace the PL? Easily.
Does he play poorly for Switzerland as well or are his performances better when compared to Arsenal?Thinking about it, it really is the case.

No way he's better than SforzaI think Djemba-Djemba is also in with a shout...But i accept your list, switzerlands best central midfielder of the last 20 years or even more is in the top 3 of the PL all time worst players. We're really shit aren't we?
Yeah Sforza definetly is a good shout...forgot about him. But i would say they are/were on equal levels.No way he's better than Sforza
Inler had a good spell in the Serie A yes, but i personally never rated him. He was technically to limited and as soon as he faced high tempo football he struggled. That's why he only visited the bench and the stands at Leicester in 2016.Inler was pretty good for Napoli for a little spell, wasn't he?
He plays solid and good most of the time. He is the key player for the possesion based football our Coach Petkovic wants to play. And most important, he very rarely has the brainfarts he shows regulary for Arsenal. Hard to say what's the reason for this.Does he play poorly for Switzerland as well or are his performances better when compared to Arsenal?
He is actually very good player in slower tempo. He just make stupid tackles sometimes and obviously he lacks pace. But I love the weight of his passes and his left foot is a gem. He would get in most PL teans including United. But he rubs people the wrong way and people tend to be harsh on a player if they dont like him.He's actually a fairly good player if you don't judge him mainly on the rash tackles and the few misplaced passes he makes that get exaggerated. His major weakness is that he's not good under pressure. However, in nearly every match where he doesn't start we end up playing noticeably worse than usual because we miss his passing.
Guendouzi can ping beautiful balls every now and then but Xhaka is more consistent at making the right passes in the final third, even if they're more conservative and often towards the wingbacks. No wonder Emery likes him.
True, don't like him one bit, through and through cnut.He is actually very good player in slower tempo. He just make stupid tackles sometimes and obviously he lacks pace. But I love the weight of his passes and his left foot is a gem. He would get in most PL teans including United.

Benali & Frank Sinclair.Tbf, I've agreed that he is actually the second worst PL player of all-time. My revised list is 1) Jay Spearing 2) Xhaka 3) Alia Dia (closely followed by Bebe but doing a top 4 list would be silly and far too subjective).

Good if he's far away from the ball?Long range merchant
bowing down to McTominay's brilliance
Cos their Arsenal fans... and he's crapWhy were they booing him though?
Because he was wasting time at home to CP on 2-2.Why were they booing him though?
The booing wasn't immediate, it was after a few seconds when the fans noticed he was walking off like we were 3-0 up. His reaction was shit either way, you're a pro, you can't ignore a few boos?If they were booing him for being shite then I think his reaction was fair enough (even though he is indeed shite). If they were booing him for being too slow to leave the pitch when they need a goal then that's his fault.
